Ive just started reading this book and immediately noticed that it neglects to properly explain
gesture drawing, yes it breaks it down into parts, assymetry, repetition and contour however when doing a gesture drawing do I start with the head ? the torso? What about the line of the spine? Nothing is really explained. At least with Vilppu he breaks down gesture drawing a bit but even his explanation is inadequte.

It looks better than most figure drawing books as far as I can tell but thats not saying much since most of them are abysmal, it seems that artists are just really poor at explaining their techniques..
