Your gesture drawings are really expressive and capture the poses well! I am relatively new to critiquing so I don't have a lot to offer, but I can see in some of your longer poses that your torso tends to lose some of the graceful curve that connects it to the hips, particularly in the female models. Maybe you could explore the anatomy there and try to get it to taper a bit more?

Wow! First of all, congratulations on hitting 1,000 in a month! The improvement is very noticeable. In your second image especially, the fluidity and dynamism of your poses is smooth and elegant. My one suggestion would be to keep in mind the proportions of the body as they relate to the head; in a few of these, the torso or hips appear extra-large. Keep up the great work!

These are all great! Hands and feet are SO hard. I think you could benefit from spending some time drawing the cylindrical shapes of the fingers in different perspectives, to understand how the form works in the various foreshortened poses you'll encounter. Same with the flattened box shape of the hand; I think it'll be easier for you to visualize the fingers with their proper volume if the hand has a little more form/depth!

You have great gestures that clearly capture the energy of each pose! Just keep in mind your proportions, specifically how the rest of the body relates to the size of the head - your torso areas tend to be a bit long/wide (which might be a personal choice, in which case nevermind!). For the limbs, capturing the gesture first is great, but remember to articulate that there are multiple, cylindrical parts to each, rather than one long fluid arm or leg. You could use small circles to indicate the joints, and then break the line up as it connects with those joints. I am relatively new to critiquing so I don't have a lot to offer, but I want to develop this skill and contribute to the community before asking for critiques of my own drawings. Hope this was at least a little helpful!

You do a really nice job of capturing weight and placement of the large masses with only a few simple lines! Great foreshortening also. The only critical comment I really have is that sometimes the shoulder areas appear flat/boxy; could you maybe utilize a basic shape, like a circle, to help ground/connect them to the chest? There are some drawings where you did this, so maybe it was just a time constraint thing.
