Hello,
Reinar is very well spoken and I love the way they phrased things. I love gestural drawing so I just want to gush about it a bit:
-Gestural drawing is excellent for learning more control over anatomy in an imaginitive way. As you practice, you will see the way various marks changes the overall tone of the figure. So drawing without references but finding a particular unique expression will eventually get more intuitive (at least it did for me).
-Kind of on the same note, it is such a good tool for finding your style, and noticing the way your hand works, noticing what you choose and don't choose to show in your gestural marks. It's another great tool as an artist for learning more about what you tend to gravitate towards while you create.
-I personally love the romantic and emotional quality that tends to show up in gestural drawing, and I think this is because the artist shines through a lot in this technique. Which is my jam!
Best of luck! :)
