So the issue here is that this is a site that is about drawing gesture. You are trying to draw the gesture of an image in 30 seconds. You will make decisions on what is the most important to convey that pose and draw it with a few simplified lines. You might also have to exaggerate your lines to really convey the pose, which is what is meant by not copying what you see.

Copying what you see definitely has it's value. There are whole courses dedicated to copying masters drawings or sculptures, but that's not what you're going for here.

I see comments about not being able to draw from imagination, and would like to say that that is a completely different skill that has to be trained. Any subject that you study could then become a drawing from imagination subject. I can't remember where I read/heard this, but it was suggested that you should draw something 5 to 10 times with reference and then put all your studies and references away and then draw it from memory.

I'd say you are using too many lines, especially in the 30 second and 1 minute gestures. You should be trying to capture the essence of the pose with the least amount of lines possible. Also for gesture you need to use long flowing lines. The ones I see here are short and choppy, even in your longer drawings. I feel like you are trying to draw the entire figure in 30 seconds, which isn't gesture. In the longer poses you should start with a gesture of the pose and then build on top of it.
