I think you've got a good grasp of the forms, I assume these were done digitally so the comments about the size of the workspace probably won't be of much importance for you. I do think the line quality on some of the sketches is kind of... sketchy? I know these aren't meant to be perfect, obviously. But I think that practicing with a focus on the lines themselves would help. The second sketch from the top left (both of them really, the one to the right, and the one beneath it) I can really see the sketchiness in the feet, and the form/gesture get's lost.

I think they look cool but they're not really "gesture"? Althhough I am digging the line of actions on the second set. I think if you do practice more you'll get better at it. But anatomy and gesture aren't really the same thing. The gesture is more of the feeling of a pose, and you can exagerate that a lot. But anatomy is kind of different. I feel like with gesture you break the pose down into it's simplest forms (gestural even) but anatomy is more about recreating the contours.

Honestly the best advice is to keep practicing. And I'm not saying do it for 68 minutes straight lol, but the more you try to study either aspect the better and more confident you shall become. I ended up with some nice gesture drawings today in my warm up but last week my gestures looked like trash, it's a process. And definitely Proko is an awesome resource, he has lots of videos for free on Youtube which can be a good reference. He has a gesture cource, and several anatomy courses if that's what you would like to know :D

It's really weird despite how distinct the faces appear to be, your noses seem really samey. (Mostly when you have a drawing where you're kind of looking down on them a little) Even though you've got some very distinct and different nose shapes on some of them. If I were you I'd try to do a couple of nose studies maybe and see if there's a marked improvement. I like your lines and for two minutes you got in an impressive amount of detail.

I'm sorry but I can't see your drawings. Please try again.
