You're inspiring me to get back to gesture!

I followed along with the back landmarks video. This felt tricky to do without much knowledge of anatomy, but it makes me excited to start learning!

2023/1/16. Good morning everybody. Here’s my daily 30 minutes session of “draw the gesture”. Hands and feet (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). Thanks for any comment or advice.

I find gesture so hard to practice, but I hope to get to where you are! The positions look very natural and relaxed.

Here again. This last week was not it, but today's gestures make me hopeful of a turnaround. Let me know what I can improve on. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzEw6ynDkvQ)
Side note: I started a new sketchbook, one with recycled paper, and I don't really like it. It's slightly tinted brown which I don't really care about, but it's weight is slightly less than my previous, and so I can't draw on both sides of the pages (you can see my previous drawings through it, even with pencil). In addition, it has a tooth that seems to eat at my pencil so much that I sharpen it every couple of pages compared to rarely before.
Well I guess it's better to know than not :/

Did practice drawing 15 head, any criticism?

Those look good to me! Are you also practicing with larger sketches? Those look kinda small. I find that buying cheap newsprint pads and using both sides is a good way to practice at larger sizes without breaking the bank.
Hi, so I've been doing the gesture for few days now and wanted to check if I'm on the right track? I'd love some criticism
