Self taught and been drawing for about 17 years. But I have huge gaps in my learning and abilities. Proko, is helping me sort that out.

Hello all, here are some recent 30-second and 2-minute quick sketches from today after practicing them for the past few weeks. I'm finding it difficult to analyze what I did right when a gesture seems to turn out well (e.g. bottom-middle of the first page) as well as how to see exactly where the mistakes are when a gesture feels "off" (like page 3, #2). I feel this is especially true when it comes to the 2-minute poses since there are more lines being used. I feel like I understand the concepts on a theoretical level, but it feels like I'm still guessing when it comes to putting them into practice, so any advice/criticism is appreciated!

I rewatched Stans videos again earlier today. It is a good thing to do, as you forget do much of his advice and guidance. Also, pay a lot of attention to his movements and ghost lines. They flow beautifully. I have slowed down today to try that approach before going back to timed poses.

Progress on my gesture drawings. These are untimed. I have been practicing ghost lines, trying to see and follow the flows of movement in the poses before making any marks. So I have slowed down whilst I get to grips with it. I would really appreciate anyone who would like to give me any comments, hints and tips to help me improve. I am wondering if I should start The Bean and work in conjunction with my gesture drawings?

I have been practicing the gesture exercises. With these drawings however, I am attempting to use what I have learnt so far into expressive figurative drawings. Both with the exercises and these drawings, I sometimes get it quite well and other times lose my way. But that is learning and practice. I haven't yet moved onto the Bean as I am trying to get a bit more consistent with gesture before moving on. All feedback very welcome.

This is where I am after about 200 drawings so a long way to go. Still I am getting better. My first attempts were terrible! These are not too bad, I can see my progress and I have improved. Sorry... not posting my first attempts, so you will just have to believe me. Any feedback/hints/tips would be most welcome indeed. 30seconds, 1minute and 2minute poses.
