Remember; horizontal lines must run parallel to the horizon line, and verticles must run perpendicular to it. Try rotating your page based on what's comfortable for your shoulders and back, see if that helps.
Next Steps:
You are getting close! Continue to review the Rough Perspective homework exercise. Pay close attention to how your boxes are rotating against the horizon line.
Line up the bottoms of your boxes with the same direction as the horizon line. Focus on how your boxes rotate as you ghost your lines before you put down a mark.
Next Steps:
If at first you don't succeed, try again.
Thanks for still keeping up with me lol, hopefully this gets through.
Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.
With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
