(please help)

if you just started out i would simply recommend to get some practice in. at this stage its very early to do a good guiding. you seem to understand the gesture so far. keep going till you hit some walls to improve further!

good job starting!

i've only recently begun studying gesture as well, but looking at your studies i think you're too focused on the construction of the figure when gesture focuses on the rhythm. I also struggled with this when i begun my studies but after watching [url=]these[/url] [url=&t=212s]videos[/url] by proko i understood much more what to look for in my studies, i hope you find them helpful as well!

Making 'good art' is a very subjective thing. One thing to improve, I'd say, is to stop thinking about your are as 'not very good' or 'bad' art. All art has some merit, and you very clearly have a ton of creativity going on in your head.

That being said, I'd imagine you are struggling getting what you see onto your work as you go. This is very normal and I would not disparage over that. Continue what you are doing, look for reference, find some instructional information (books, youtube, other places) and really dig in to learn and practice. You've got great motion and energy in your gestures, keep that going and you will be an excellent artist in no time!

TYTY I WILL

For the second image you have shown, the perspective is a tad bit off and the right hand of the person sitting on what I'd assume is a ledge looks a bit flat and it's hard to tell what it's doing.

thank yur!!
