Before diving into techniques, we must define the term. Dynamic sketching is not merely "drawing fast." According to Charles Hu, it is a disciplined process of simplification.

Gesture is the "spine" of the drawing. It is the longest, fastest line you will draw. In a two-minute pose, you don't have time for anatomy. You have time only for the narrative. Hu teaches students to look for the "C" curve or the "S" curve that runs through the entire body. If the gesture is wrong, no amount of rendering will save the drawing.

Avoid pencils until you master pen – erasing kills dynamism.
