I have heard conflicting advice about "messy lines." One school of thought dictates that messy lines indicates someone who has to ability to draw. Another school of thought says that art looks far more artistic if there are some messy lines! I like using messy lines here and there. But gesture drawing is just a base point, no? In which case, I don't worry about my lines being a mess right now. I'm not trying to create art with this practice. i am trying to loosen up my lines, learn more about all bodies and faces, and get proportions nailed better.

Wow! Your gesture drawings are fabulous! Mine are so bad .. but I am new to gesture drawing, so that's okay. I say keep doing what you are doing.

What it is about your gesture drawings that bother you? If you can define what it is that you think needs to change, then you can move into that direction, no?
