I'm pretty rusty I haven't done gesture drawing in a while, any constructive tips would be appreciated greatly :D

Hey Neeshka!
These ain't half bad!
I don't find them to be especially stiff, but they are maybe a little bit timid.
Maybe try pushing the extremes , ad try to express the weight a little more. You can do this either by adding darker lines on the heavier sides, or by exaggerating the pose to get the gesture across a little better.
An exercise I like to try is just drawing the negative space (that is, the space around the model), instead of the model themselves. This can lead to strange looking drawings sometimes, but it can also help to loosen you up, and get that brain working on some different levels.
Again, great stuff. Keep it up!

Thanks a bunch for the advice! Really appreciate it. Your negative space exercise sounds like fun I'll give it a try c:
