Hi Jan, I think you have very nice line quality and you're getting some very solid looking figures (especially the second image). I also feel like you have some good gesture lines happening in most of your figures. My suggestion would be to cut back on the details that aren't needed to tell the story of the pose. Alternatively, you could extend the amount of time you give yourself for each pose and before laying in detail, place the major bones (e.g. a simplified rib cage and pelvis and direction lines for limbs.) This is something that helps me with proportion when adding more details. I attached some examples so you can see what I mean by this. I made some light marks to indicate these landmarks. Also, don't be afraid to use more straight lines. I think your first figure on the first pages' upper thigh would look more natural with a straight line on the top part of the thighs. Hope this helps!

Hi Serena. Thank you for your critique! I know the gestures with two colours are confusing. The light blue were corrections. It was not supposed to represent light. I added them post completing the gesture to try to see my mistakes but I don't think it was a good idea, I ended up just filling in details I had missed. I think keeping it simple is good advice, thank you :)

Hi Ammar. Thank you! and thank you for your critique! I totally agree with you. I'll watch out for that.

Hi Uku, your drawings look great! The way you were able to pushed your gesture the second time (in the second image) is very impressive. I think I will take up your advice of redrawing the same pose. Do you usually do it straight away or after a period of time (e.g. the next day) ?

I've honestly never really thought too much about perspective while doing gesture drawings. I sort of compartmentalize perspective and gesture into separate areas of my brain. But I shouldn't, you make a great point. And yeah, I think long poses are a good idea, that's something I never do but I think I'm going to have to start. Thanks for the critique/advice Felix!

Thank you Shaurya! I looked up Steve Huston's gestures and yeah, I kinda see what you mean! haha. I think you're right about longer gesture studies and anatomy :/ intimidating but it's probably time. Thank you for your advice :)

Hey these look great, you seem to have a good at seeing proportion and overlapping forms, and this will only improve with time. Something that really helped me with gesture (as opposed to more detailed/finished pieces) was using a chunky tool. I used crayons or oil pastels and I also use websites that will only give me a figure for a set time period (e.g. https://quickposes.com/en and https://vimeo.com/channels/1300087 are good websites for this). This forces me limit myself to trying to just capture gesture. I recommend trying it out. I attached an example of a 2 min one I did the other day.

These look great! I struggle with extreme angles too. Something that helps me is looking at various references for this on Pinterest (e.g. https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/99431104264375183/ ) and practice simplifying from photos. Good luck! (By the way, your English sounds perfect)
