Help me figure out where I'm going wrong

Hi all guys it is a real pleasure for me to be part of this community. I wanted help from someone experienced, here are 1, 2 minute gestural drawings and some are 5 minutes where I focused a little more on the details, while in the 1 and 2 minute ones I tried to capture only the gesture. I marked the minutes on each drawing. I feel something is wrong but I can't figure out what can anyone help me figure out what? thanks a lot to everyone.
Okay, so I took a couple of your drawings and did a quick sketch to show you how you should be thinking about your gesture drawings. What you have Isn't really bad, the poses are pretty recognizable, but they are stiff because you are not integrating the gesture through the whole pose and limbs. I hope the sketch helps :)
thank you very much for your correction, the sketch is of great help to me. Thanks again

Hi pasqualed! I would say these look good for a beginner- the important thing is to not get hung up on trying to make your gestures look perfect before you move on to the next thing, but instead keep circling back to gesture. As you learn more, it's important to revisit gesture practice, maybe as a warm-up. As you gradually improve, you'll notice your gestures improve as well, rather than it being something you should perfect before you attempt other things.
Hi there! Have you tried a different approach? For instance, from time to time, I try to focus on a specific, whether its loose-gesture drawing or drawing the force of the pose, kinda like the flow. Later on, I try to combine both because I feel I get different information from these options and try to see what works best. Also, because when adding structure to your sketch, sometimes you loose the dynamic aspect of it so I´m negotiating in-between, so to speak. Best
