They look about the right amount of lines per say, but it looks like you're still focused on the contour and shape instead of the movement. Especially the legs and torso. You might be a little stiff drawing these or nervous. Try going too loose for starting sketches then refine slowly to controlled and confident lines.

Yes to all, nervous and insecure to the max, good eye :) Will try to loosen up a bit more, and as per the other suggestion, perhaps using my arm will help too. Thank you.

Hey Kanaka,
One thing that will help you in gesture drawing is to draw with your whole arm not just your wrist. It helps you make long sweeping lines. Your gesture should describe the whole pose and also the limbs. I did some draw overs to show you what I mean. I don't have the reference of the poses, so I just made my best guess. I hope it helps :)

Oh really good suggestions on all counts. Hm I've never really used my entire arm for drawing, it's an interestingly loose sensation. Will keep focusing on that, thank you.

2 min gestures, too many lines or too few?3yr
Hi y'all, I need some advice - I am doing 2 min gestures based on the first lesson. Am I on the right track? Some look totally off to me, even though I followed the instruction, practically stroke for stroke...
