Hey @xwagame,
That’s a great question — I used to wonder the same when I first started balancing gesture vs. anatomy. In my experience, doing them together but with intention works best. Gesture helps you capture rhythm and flow, while in-depth figure study solidifies the structure underneath.

I sometimes start my mornings doing quick 2-minute gestures to “wake up” my hand and eye coordination — kind of like warming up with small sketches or reference photos. Then later in the week, I’ll switch to longer poses and detailed anatomy breakdowns.

If you’re into visual inspiration, I found that looking at expressive imagery — even outside anatomy — helps me think about form and mood differently. For example, I often browse immagini buongiorno e buona domenica collections just for their composition, lighting, and color use. It sounds random, but observing how emotions are conveyed visually really helps my gesture drawing loosen up.

Keep experimenting and rotating focus — that’s what eventually helped me connect gesture, structure, and storytelling in my figures.
