gesture is all about flow. try to draw in 10 and 30 seconds. and your gestural figures are stiff.

Hi @Snowsthetics. If you are saying that you are overthinking each pose, do not take it like that. Each pose has its time to get the gesture. If you are overthinking the difference between 45 and 60 second, it doesn´t matter. Just get comfortable to the practice and adjust the time to the goal you are going for with it. Like showing a really basic gesture line for the pose, as line of action, under 30 second (where you observe and then use the fewer lines to show the gesture). Or like getting more structure for what you'll need some more time like 2 minutes to 5. But at the end all depends on your speed of reading the pose and drawing it in the fewr lines you can, if you are going for speed. Take in mind that mey be you are overthinking all these if you are really new to gesture o drawing itself. So keep the practice up and follow the lessons with time and conscious practice. All needs time. And this a lot of patience. Keep the work!

Hi! Great work! I think you captured the overall gesture very well. I noticed though that in some of your gestures you have a lot of straight line and that can make it look a bit stiff. One thing you could try to give more flow is to instead give that straight line a slight curve, to give it a bit o a C-curve Don’t be afraid to exaggerate the curves of the lines if you feel like it. It might be good idea to just try to do a few gestures where you push the exaggeration of the lines as mush as you can without being concerned about how it looks, just to push through that metaphorical wall we tend to have and really get a feel of the curves. That way it might make it easier to to do more flowing curvy lines afterwards then you do “normal” gestures again Then the comes to the limbs, in many of your gestures you draw one line for the thigh and one for lower leg and then they meet in a sharp corner in the knee. If you instead try to do it with one contentious line I think it would look smoother, (the same goes for the arms to) Something that has helped me a lot, is to do a little warm up before I start drawing. Just practice drawing smooth flowing curvy lines, you can take a look at the second half of this video to see what I mean: https://www.proko.com/course-lesson/how-to-hold-and-control-your-pencil/notes Good luck with your art journey you are up to a great start!
