    Thanks for the feedback, when it comes to the traditional vs. digital argument I'm actually much more experienced/comfortable with traditional. I've been using the digital tablet for these quick gestures as a way to get more comfortable using it, but if I plan on doing something that'll take more than ten minutes I switch over to a traditional media. I've stuck a few examples up on imgur.

    I've noticed the head thing myself and been trying to correct it. I've no idea why it goes so askew when I switch over to my drawing tablet but I'm trying to fix it, I swear. I'l take your advice and try more poses with a more dynamic twist in the spine, any idea where I can get some good references?

    I think the way to explain it is that the OP is focsing on the wrong thing when it comes to gesture drawings, he's focused on the forms/negative space rather than the gesture itself. Proko did a great video on this.

    A few extras.

    Most of these are 1 minute gestures, but the little one wandered in part way through and I had to make a quick switch to drawing from imagination. I've annotated them with the time taken per sketch... Forgive the spiderman doodles. He made a small request, and now I have to draw him some finished spidermen tomorrow.

    These are really quite well done, I know that proportion is not the aim of a gesture drawing but I've noticed you make the same mistake I tend to make during 60sec, namely that your proportions are a bit skewed. Several have over-long legs or rather large heads or narrow shoulders and so on. Judging proportion quickly by eye is something that tends to come with experience but only if it's done mindfully. I'm sure you've noticed it and that it'll improve over time with more practice.

    There's one other thing I've noticed that would really help your sketches. Your line quality. It could be that you've not built up the dexterity, it could be a lack of confidence or it could just be a built up bad habit, but more confident fluid lines would help your gestures really stand out.

    There are a lot more in-depth explanations on line quality and confidence available online, I suggest you have a little look.
