Making 'good art' is a very subjective thing. One thing to improve, I'd say, is to stop thinking about your are as 'not very good' or 'bad' art. All art has some merit, and you very clearly have a ton of creativity going on in your head.

That being said, I'd imagine you are struggling getting what you see onto your work as you go. This is very normal and I would not disparage over that. Continue what you are doing, look for reference, find some instructional information (books, youtube, other places) and really dig in to learn and practice. You've got great motion and energy in your gestures, keep that going and you will be an excellent artist in no time!

I think your feeling stiff is a good observation - from what I can tell you are jumping directly into outlining your figures when gesture drawings are more about trying to find the flow of a figure. I tend to look at the figure judging the orientation of the head, ribcage, and pelvis to find the flow of the figure before worrying about details or even scale.

If you are doing a longer pose (10 minutes) I think figuring out your scale should be the first step but finding the flow is nearly just as important.

The other thing that can make your drawing feel more dynamic is by paying attention to where you are drawing from - your drawings appear to be drawn from your wrist which tend to come out very controlled which can seem stiff for larger motions.  I would suggest starting your gestures with movements from the shoulder.

If you've never seen any videos from the Proko youtube channel, they are a great channel for learning technique. The link below shows an excellent process for gesture drawing.
