Hi Malek. It’s great that you took our advice and got straight to work. Well done on applying the feedback to your previous drawings too. I’m adding some specific feedback to Steve’s suggestions to try to help you understand gesture. Where @Steve Lenze is drawing a limb by using a shape, I am using just a line or an arrow, but it’s really the same idea. We are trying to create an abstraction of our figure. This sounds, well...abstract, but to clarify look at the right screen arm and let me know what you think is the right answer. keep up the good work.

Hey Marek, Gesture is the rhythm of the body from head to toe. It tells us the "story" of the pose, or what is happening in the pose in a fluid way. There is no need to really worry about anatomy or details, just the flow of the body, what makes the pose beautiful. I did a quick sketch to show you how I would approach gesture in these poses. Notice how nothing is stiff or angular, Just flow :)
