Yes! very good! gesture drawings great! Pictures become much more alive if you just let the pencil 'flow' and go crazy y'know! Who cares if it's not 'right' it has emotion!
What's gesture drawing?
Oh <@.@> Gestural drawing is where you basically look at your subject and just kind of let your hand go. You don't set up 'frames' or anything of that nature, instead relying on creating a flowing pattern of lines to get a much more natural and organic feel.
At least thats how I remember my art teacher describing it to me way back when I was first exposed to the idea >.>
At the time though, I didn't listen to her cause she was kinda a [censored] to me <;_;> and so I failed to learn much in that class because I was stubborn.
So I'm trying to pick it up now as it seems a pretty fundemental skill >.> Plus its fun!

Oh... Do I need to do it?
It looks good. I really like how it's face came out.
Thanks Rowr, Larissa <^_^> appreciate it!
Blood_Wolffe - I really can't say that anyone "needs" it, as I'm no expert <;.;> My art is far from great and I really don't consider myself an authority - but that said, its a technique I've always been told is important to understand, and I do find that my work has been improving since I've started experimenting with it.
So essentially what I'm saying is - it's a good thing to learn <@_@> but as to whether you personally need it I don't feel comfortable saying <;_;> cause I dunno!

So what you're saying is I suck and I need it.
Just kidding. I like your picture, it is magnetic to the eyes. You have also introduced me to a very interesting technique that I will have to look into more. Thank you.
Danke <^_^> I hope you like the technique too! I'm quite enjoying practicing <@_@> if nothing else, it lets you scribble and claim you're making art <^,^> *makes a circle* WEE!
(Old-timey people around here may just get the reference there too <,<

Hate it!
<^_^> Some explanation is in order here actually!
First - I'm trying to learn gestural drawing, as my Deviant page says; and as such, I'm experimenting quite a bit. I was REALLY happy how this Rikti came out, so I figured "Wth, I haven't posted anything in ages >.> so..." So yah <@.@>
As for the crazy wording <'x'> As some know, I've become quite the WH40k addict >.> just something from that universe hehe <,<
Anyways <@-@> comments welcome! <. .> *sneaks off*
