Hi, I did the assignment. The five first one I did without timing. I felt like I stressed a bit when I did them. I see clearly that some of my proportions are off. I feel that I wasn’t looking for rhythms. I also feel like I’m more focused on structure than gesture. For the tree last ones I timed myself. The first and the last one I used 7 minutes. The middle one I used a little over 3 minutes. I felt I did a better job on the ones I timed.Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Great job with these, they look awesome! I think you could improve upon them even more by simplifying your lines and looking for how one form flows into another. I noticed that some of your shapes are the same width all the way through. Instead try to look for where a shape tapers or widens. Look for where flow branches in multiple directions or when there a sudden switch in flow direction. You can try imagining arrows branching off from the main line of action like in the image below. Using your whole arm to draw tapered strokes can help you "feel" the gesture more and also don't be afraid to use some looser searching lines before committing to a darker stroke. Your drawings are great and I hope this helps!
