How to build a drawing off of a geasture sketch:

1.) Throw some lines on paper (30 seconds or less)
2.) darken over the one's you like. Add more (30 second or less)
3.) repeat process until you hit the point of shading
4.) add shading, and detail.
5.) repeat process until you're happy with what you've got
6.) adjust contrast in photoshop and the sketch lines practically dissapear.

That's it. Sheesh.

The point behind this "sort-of" tutorial is to show what a real geasture drawing sequence is supposed to look like. There are so many people who follow the "geasture" drawing techniques found in the "How to draw Manga" books on my watch that it's driving me nuts.

I'm also tired of telling people at conventions or at school that this is how I get the "flow" in my images.

It's not that hard is it?
