A two minute sketch of David, one of the artists in our group and occasional model. David is fit and muscly. I think being a drawer enriched his modeling. For the two minute poses he would begin an imaginary action like throwing a spear or evading a predator. Then freeze frame suddenly within the sequence and that was the gesture. He held some excellent dynamic short poses that were fun and challenging, like the one here.
