added comment inGesture drawing feedback, 30 seconds, 2 minutes
Yo you drawings are really cool, and do not worry about drawing too much countour, you are doing really great with gesture! what i spot on here is that you kinda do a little bit of chicken scratching (like really just a little bit), like, on the first one, aaand, maybe you are pressing to hard on the paper?. What i recommend if you caught yourself stuck in improving that, is practicing with I N K, it will really help you out to figure both gesture and countours, cuz, you know, once it touches the paper, it leaves a strong, non erasable mark. But for now, No worries my friend!

Been doing some studies of Andrew Loomis book "Figure drawing for all it´s Worth". I am trying to understand the Flat Diagram, but i don´t get how can i draw a proportional width related to height. Do i explain myself? In the first photo i show that problem. In adittion, the "diagonals point A, D, F" rendering method seems useless to me, due to it not establishing a height first, making it harder to put the figure in a specific space. Second and Third photos are some exercises. Forth and Six are examples of what happens when width is wrong, and Fifth photo is a attempt of using the Diagram in a scene. Finally, Seven is a different approach of drawing the Flat Diagram, which is by extending the rectangle´s edges, drawing a variable width while thinking of it like a box, and then, throwing in the proportion extension lines.
I struggle so much in understanding this, and is just page 23 of the book! I would be enourmously grateful if someone can take their time to explain me how to draw this little 2D fella in perspective.
That´s all, and thanks for your attention, like, fr 10000%

So, i have been doing landamarks recently. I have problems in actually drawing them, like, the scapula and ribcage but searching for them on the photos really helped me get thoose proportions right, which i struggle a lot. These are 5 min. quicksketches. Please critique

https://www.proko.com/s/iMT5 It has been about a month since i've been trying to look at gesture drawing at a different angle (Link up there), and i think i have improved, specially with the 30 second poses (the last 2 photos), the other ones are 2 minutes poses. Please, critique

Here are some gesture drawings. Each took 3 mins, and i have been practicing since the last 2 months. I think i am not aproaching it correctly, so, any feeback, IS MORE THAN WELCOME
Also, i am not sure if i can upload the nude reference photos, so i´ll keep it like that
