Ill be honest and say that I don't like how my poses are looking, I am not a very experienced artist and im really struggling on finding the motion and making the pose feel "flowy"

Check out Mike Mattesi FORCE method videos. Proko has hosted some of his videos; I would start with Improving Line Quality and Rhythm - FORCE Series Part 1

Here is my Shading assignment. This drawing is the culmination of everything I learned from this course. Do you guys think I’m ready for the anatomy course?

Your figure and shading looks great! I think you are ready for anatomy. Keep up the good work!

Working on my robo beans. On the second page A1 and B1 were first attempts. A2 and B2 are second attempts after reviewing the poses more carefully. I've attach the ref photos if I could get some feedback on those, along with the landmark pose. Thanks!

I've drawn all my life but finally decided to start taking things seriously and getting a proper training on the fundamentals. Here are my latest gesture drawings from drawing along to Stan's 2 minute demonstrations, I attached them in the order I did them. Some of the proportions are off. And I'm aware that my line quality is too messy and that I'm using too many. Like many others, I've also got issues with keeping simplicity and not adding details and following contour instead of the gesture. I'm going to do more 30 seconds gestures for that now. Any feedback would be highly appreciated!

The gestures are looking strong; the flow and rhythm of the gesture are well though out.
For the messy lines, my advice is to "air" draw the line you want to plan out. Once you find your line, put it down to the paper. Check out Mike Mattesi's FORCE Improving Line Quality and Rhythm - FORCE Series Part 1 on YouTube.
Otherwise keep up the good work!

I feel that the gestures are pretty stiff.
Jesper Axelsson advise I check out Mike Mattesi's force drawing series (Improving Line Quality and Rhythm - FORCE Series Part 1 and Drawing Gestural Forms - FORCE Series Part 2 are available at Proko). I think that his advice is applicable here as well.

Did another 20 set of poses for 30 seconds. I try to slow down this time and not rush through the pose.

2 minute gesture drawings. Any feedback is appreciated!

First 6 images are the following:
#.1: Drawing pose on my own
#.2: Following Stan's drawing
#.3 Drawing pose on my own again (without looking at Stan's or my previous drawing)
Last 9 (attached in reply. 10 image per post rule) are ones I've posted previously and went back and did again after doing the exercise above.
I'm pretty happy with the improvement. Doing the first 6 right after watching Stan's definitely helped with where to start, adding more depth, and that using cross section lines is important for the flow when something is coming at or away from you (I tried using this on image 6).
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Great start. Keep an eye on angle changes. Many of your sketches are using soft curves. Use sharper angels to make it more dynamic!
