Hello, I start to upload my gesture practice progress here and looking for critique on how can be improved. I've been drawing for quite a while but it was done all alone with all the materials I found online, so I'd love to share my practice and see how far I can go.

Figure practice including the tutorial (1st slide) and a class mode practice (2nd slide)

This is the first time I post here so if there's anything wrong, please let me know

Yo these are sick, you got dynamic posing down pretty well. i recommend starting to add underlying muscles and other features now since you got a good base.

Thank you. I'm still struggling with identifying gesture when it becomes tricky like bending, twisting or foreshortening. I will take your recommendation into my research and practice while diversifying my gesture practice approach😊

After the last practice attempt and got frustrated with it, I decided to change my approach by
1- using the bean/pillow to find the correct center line, twist and turn movement
2- same duration of 30 minutes but with slower pace of 5 minutes per pose. I realized the first 30 secs of class mode worsening my habit of making chaotic searching lines
At slower pace, I have time to find the gravity of the reference pose, the place where the figure puts their weight on, then start placing the bean.
