After the last life drawing session, I stumbled across a gesture drawing video while working. I decided to go ahead and watch a few. After a while, I could see how this could be applied quickly and it seemed to be easy to grasp. I gave it a go in my sketch book and it seemed to help me lay out proportions and figures a lot quicker and more accurately. I then applied it in the next life drawing session.
I found it worked very well for standing poses (and when I can I still use it) however sitting poses were difficult as you had to calculate the distance between the shoulders/hips/knees/etc. For sitting poses I decided to keep with the circle method I used previously as it seemed to be working for me.
