Hi Sylvester! Good start, you're using nice curves. It looks like you're focusing a lot on the contours, rather than the flow/action of the pose. You don't need to show all the contours in gesture.
Also practice bigger lines to get rid of the scratchiness. Don't worry about accuracy at this stage, you want to show energy and suggestion.
Are these timed? A good way to focus is to set 30 sec or 1 minute timers to really get you thinking about the big movements and not capture detail.
Be loose and messy :)

thank you for the advice. I do feel like I worry too much about the contours. I will be trying out 1 minute timers from now on

Hello everyone.
My name is Sylvester. I recently discovered Proko's Youtube channel and decided to start learning for his videos and stuff. I have never done gesture before so this is completely new to me. I just wanted to find out if I have the right idea with the gestures I did today.
I probably did 30 poses but I'm only going to share two at the moment. Thanks for the feedback.
