Your drawings definitely show potential. One problem with them now is that they are verry scribbly, and that reflects the state your mind is in when you're drawing. You should be more purposeful with your lines. This video might help:

Thanks a lot Sanne :). I'm quite satisfied with the results as well. Seeing my drawings in movement helped me to pinpoint aspects of gesture drawing that need more of my attention.

I don't have any formal education in animation, however I've been studying with Mike Matessi for more than a year now. Once you understand the fundamentals, transitioning into animation is not that hard in my experience.

Here are some more:

Welcome Loaniss! As far as I know you can upload as much and as frequent as you want. Personally I can give better feedback to an artist when I see a lot of his drawings instead of a few. I look forward to see the results of your sessions.

Thank you Jason!

Here are some from today. I couldn't resist turning some of them into an animation of course :P.

Thank you again for the useful info darkover. You're right about watching yourself draw. I realised the benefit of it when I recorded some video demonstrations for my gesture drawing tutorials some weeks ago.I'll consider streaming this coming year.

I went back to one of my favourite subjects for gesture drawing today. The amount of energy and fluidity in these poses makes for a great drawing experience.

Thanks for the kind words and advice darkover! Streaming is not something I had considered, so I will put that on my list. Are there gesture drawing streams that you're currently following?
