So how do I exactly embed them? It would be great if I can do that rather than using links

(Oh finally! Images finally worked!)

Posting more 30 seconds and 1-minute gestures using markers -- decided to do simple expressions on the one-minute drawings. I really should not be afraid of making mistakes. . .but I hate that as I have a "perfection" complex! >.<!

And I realized something -- Everytime I get a pose that has its arms overlapping over the body, it bugs me alot that I tend to make it so muddy as I usually draw the body/torso (and head) first before the arms. And every time I draw to draw the arms first, it pretty much throws me off alot as I couldn't identify the underlying construction first. . .sorry if I don't make sense for this part.

. . .And don't mind my pj bottoms . . .I do have a "questionable" sense of fashion

EDIT* Nope -- images do not work; still gotta use links

Dammit! I just remembered why I didn't bother doing gestures with pen! I'm about to tear these pages apart! 

 . . . 

Just kiddin' -- I managed to find some old drawing paper and not my usual newsprint cuz I hate the feeling of drawing pen on newsprint.

Anyway, this is just alcohol markers on standard drawing paper -- there might be some bleed as I don't have much paper on hand. Not really used to doing gestures with ink as I tend to scribble more often than I do with charcoal.

Starting to do more 30-second gestures  . . .again, just trying to improve my linework . . .or using less lines.

And the occasional 1-minute

Like before, I have the sanguine-colored line to indicate (my perception) the line-of-action

And a bonus, I did 1-minute facial expression session . . .just for funzies

I wasn't aiming for realism or accuracy yet but more on capturing expression and exaggeration

I should do more of those, and maybe one day I'll do a proper portrait drawing

Today, I decide to rollback to 30-second gestures just to push myself a bit all because . . .my linework is yet to be desired.
And I included a sanguine-colored stroke to show how I perceive the line of action as an afterthought.

As you could tell . . .I struggle on 30-seconds

Okay, not exactly happy with this round -- both my thumb and wrist started to tingle during my session
Again, 1min and 2min gestures

Hello! This is my first time posting stuff here -- I've been on and off on doing gesture drawings until lately, I want to continue to do these more often. 

I very much appreciate it for any comments as I do want another pair of eyes and see what I can improve . . .'cuz well, I don't know if I'm doing it "right."

Most of them are just 1 minute and 2 minute gestures

I'll continue bumping this thread to showcase my progression
