    I think your drawings are quite good, and I agree with others about visualizing the models in 3D. A brief review of artist's anatomy would be the only other suggestion I can offer. I think we can all benefit by going back to basics from time to time. You're doing great, so keep it up.

    Sanne said it all! You are capturing the essential "flow" of the body, and in my mind, that's what a 30-second gesture drawing should do. I think alternating between 30-second poses and longer poses might be a way to go, and I look forward to seeing more of your drawings.

    I think your hand drawings are good. Hands are extremely difficult to draw for many artists. The best remedy seems to be practice, practice, practice. You're off to a very good start.

    Hi, Jason! I've just joined the site today -- although I've used it for a while. It's good to meet you and see your artwork. Very impressive. I'm sure you'll find lots of inspiration here.

    Hi, Readholes! The key to any successful learning experience is consistent practice, and that's especially true with drawing. I'd also advise you to get a sketchbook and date every drawing you do. This provides a visual record. You'll be able to look back and see how much progress you're making, and that's a very important part of learning to draw, I think. There are many great books and online tutorials to check out. And don't forget to have fun!

    Hi! I'm not qualified to provide a critique, although I think your illustrations look good. Do you have a library near you? You might want to consider checking out an "anatomy for artists" book. I've studied anatomy and I've fascinated by it. There are far too many different muscles groups for me to keep track of though :)

    If I can capture any sense of movement or form in 30 seconds, I'm happy. I think your gesture drawings go well beyond that!

    I think your sketches are very well done, Jason. I agree with Sanne about romanticizing the past. Artists grow and change.
