added comment inHow to Draw Gesture
Asked for help
The coming months I want to focus on figure drawing and anatomy. Here are some of my attempts of the last few days. 30 sec poses I have the most trouble with. It's hard to not just draw a stick figure but to try to get the essential movement and flow.
Please feel free to critique my sketches. What do you think of them overall? How and what can I improve? I do spot a few flaws but maybe there's a lot I don't see yet. Thank you. :-)

I think those 30-second gesture drawings on the 29th are your strongest. We'll eventually get more comfortable with gesture if we keep plugging away at it.

The progress so far. I did some 2 minute sketches the last two days but I'm still torn. But I think on some poses I've hit the motion a bit so that's a step in the right direction. I need to do something else now because I'm feeling a bit burned out on 30 second and 2 minute poses.
Hey Clownseuche, just an idea I got from Line-of-action, but I change the time for each pose as I progress.
My favorite is a 30 minute total, where the first 10 poses are thirty seconds, the next 5 are one minute, then 2 poses five minutes each, and the final is ten minutes.
This breaks up the monotony and lets you warm up so that your ten minute drawing looks good.
As to a critique, 2 minute drawings are what I struggle with most, so I'm not the best person for this. Keep it up!

These are from today and yesterday. Finding the essence and flow of a gesture is so hard. Some look alright I guess. Others not so much. But I do like the exercise a lot. It's fun to hammer out sketch after sketch and get some work done. Hopefully something will stick.
My problem areas are legs and arms. I just can't draw them in a pleasing way in 30 seconds. I lknow it's not the point of the exercise, but the moment I get to draw the legs it throws me off...
