I like 1-5, the rest is a bit of a mixed bag.
The 5min limit is stressful but in a good way. Costly in paper though.
Hey @harrow, nice work with these. You got the right idea. You're at a good place in your practice to experiment with how far you can push your gestures. I encourage you to push until you go too far, and then reorient yourself from there having gained the knowledge of where the boundaries are.
Find the line of action, which is the longest line from top of the figure to the bottom and play with the position and severity of the apex.
See how emphasizing the apex of the line of action on pose 1 by pushing the torso to the right side to follow that curve can create more movement and emphasize the pinch and stretch.
Hope that's helpful!
I did a few more trying to keep your points in mind.
The more dynamic poses were a lot easier than the more static ones.

I don't have access to charcoal in one form or another at the moment but I did try sharpening a 5mm graphite lead to a bullet point. I did the first three that way. The last three I did with a soft pencil.
All six drawings took significantly longer than 5 minutes.

Have you watched Stan's lesson on gesture drawing? It's a very nice introduction to how to approach gesture in the figure. It's the first lesson in the figure drawing course. If you can't watch it, here's a link on the Proko YouTube channel:

No I haven't. I'm following the Drawing Basics course so I've watched the video that part of that series
I'm doing the drawing Basics course and I could really use some help and feedback

This was fun. I drew the ones in regular pencil before watching the demo and the ones in blue after.
The ones I did before probably followed the outline too much but I really like them.
I don't know if it's just me but I found the more dynamic poses much easier to draw. The static ones had a tendency to turn into dead lumps.

I don't have the tools to do an overlay but I think I've done okay. I got a bit frustrated towards the end so I ended up eyeballing more than I probably should have.
My biggest frustration was how to block in the nose.

tried with a new portrait, and this broke me, i just cant maintain the distance with only a pen, tried to simplify as much as i could in hopes it would help but no, i'm giving up for now. gonna try to attempt the photo he used in this video and see if i can do any better, but for now i just feel defeated
I find it much easier to measure with something thinner like a knitting needle. I'm currently using the skewer from some gas station chicken teriyaki.

I'll have to try this some more because I'm not really sure I get it. I had to have the video up as I did it

Overall you did well! The head is just a bit wide, and the face is spaced out a bit long. It is a good skill to keep practicing even though it's tedious, with consistency it will improve your ability to eyeball proportions.
