Draw enough to recognize the subject.
Gesture drawings are done mostly in life
drawing classes. Little did I know they
come in extremely handy when you are trying to draw a flitting bird or a
flighty squirrel.
Try it on your own!
You can go just about anywhere and find lots of birds and
squirrels. If you can’t get outside, try
watching a nature documentary. You can
practice gesture drawing all types of animals while they are on your TV
screen. If you feel like adding more
details, wait for the commercials and add them then.
If you need more information about gesture drawing and how
to do it see the following links:

This a cool website where they provide timed photos (you choose the timing) to practice a gesture drawing! Start with the standard session and be brave! Work down from 10 minutes to the 30 seconds time interval!
