Greatest works on your range of edges, spaces, relationships, tones, and of course, gestalt of your two nudes above. However, these gestures still could use just a littlest bit most work on those attitudes. How would you like to work most of your gestures with 31 minutes of 60 second drawings of the figures? (31 quick sketches)

The logical explanation behind this feedback is as a result, your forces will be drawn the least rigidest, but the most forceful (pun intended), dynamic, but gutsiest.

And if you're completely curious for most gesture drawing practice, please look into the Vilppu Drawing Manual PDF here.

My hat's off to you, and your excellent progress.

What is lacking here is gesture, the figures are lookin stiff. For a while, forget about shade, focus only on drawing the simples forms with the main flow of each part. Try to simplefy the arms and legs into one simple line, use only the CSI lines, (if you dont know what it is, look at proko.com gesture) after like 10 times of 2 minutes poses try some 5 min poses but this time after doing the big gesture of the limb, try breaking it down in the three segments, be it arm or leg.

For the torso, try to find the assimetry, if you do both sides equal, the drawing will look boring.

Good sketches by the way. Leave shading for later.
