Hi! I took a look at your previous gesture drawings and you have really improved since then! Your lines have become much surer and smother now, you have really made great progress!
Your gestures look good! The only thing is to remember not to draw the contours. In some cases with the arms and legs you seem to have drawn the bumps of contours more then the gesture. The gesture often cuts through the muscles and bumps of the body.
Overall then it comes to the curves of the body be careful not to make them to symmetrical to each other. I saw someone else in a critique describe it with that the gesture flows with curves like this ( ( but the flow stops with symmetrical curves like this ( )
The part in the video there Proko decribes the curve of the shin, also shows what I mean very well and I think that concept works for the arms and thighs to. Almost to the bottom of the lesson notes you can see the picture and text to if you want. it’s under the title “Curve of the Shin”

You are on the right track with your gestures and doing really well! My favorite among them is the one in the bottom right corner. I love the rhythmic motion of the curves going through the hips, shoulders and head, it looks very beautiful!
Keep up the good work! :D
