==QUESTION==: should I go back to shorter poses and gesture or does it look like going to the robobean is the way to go?
---
I have done a few poses after watching the landmarks video. All and all i was trying to maintain a gesture feeling with more observation and structure of the landmarks.
These are 2min to 5min poses. I started with beans and pinned some of the landmarks (shoulders, "tie" shaped thing, 10th rib, hips bones, triangle shape on the back, clavicles, omoplate/scapula...)
Their color backgrouds are because each color is a different day.
I am learning to draw digitally with an old intuos pro, also different time for poses, so the line quality varies a lot. This is a big file (4k) with small things, so clicking on "open original" is better to see the lines.

If I were you, I would not be trying to learn how to do digital art while you are working on learning figure drawing. It just makes things too complicated. Stick to media you are familiar with, like pencil and paper when you are trying to advance your figure drawing skills. It will help you with getting a more flowy line, and I think you will advance your skills faster. And I agree, stick to gestures and try to find the action line going through the body, which will help your gesture. Hope that helps.

More gesture, try to achieve a higher sense of fluidity with your line work, practice more quick and long gestural drawings, and as a bonus, I will recommend the following video by John Asaro on the New Masters Academy YouTube channel, where he teach how to avoid the sence of stiffness on the figure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYmyvgwY10U
I hope this helps you to improve your overall design before going for a full figure drawing!
