Here are some of the gesture i made how does it look?. I already move on to the bean and stuff but still regularly practice gesture
Hey! I'd say you could use fewer contour lines on some of them, like in the third image. One or two contour lines is enough to give the idea of the form.
Hey, good job doing gesture. I can understand most of them. Now something that can help you are using less I lines and using more S a C lines a good example is this one:
Keep up the good work.

Hi @doctormein, great start! I'll do my best to help you further:
PRACTICE TIPS
I attached an image with some practice tips. I think this is the most important advice I can give you at the moment. If you practice a lot and with those tips in mind I think you'll be able to improve fast and find the answers to many of your questions on your own.
Hope this helps :)

Here is my gesture drawing practice. I tried to draw loosely and try my best not to focus too much on the detail and only the flow of the poses.
I still sometime find myself worrying about proportion of the gesture line.
is this a valid point that i should be concerned about?
And Any feedback on how should i improve? Thank you.
[Those are 2 minute gesture drawing.]
These look pretty good so far, a lot of these poses seem pretty clear. (Except pose #5 on the first row, I'm not quite sure what that person is doing.)
I struggle a bit with proportion too--what might help is doing multiple gestures of the same reference, but pausing in-between to compare your sketch with the reference. You could also overlay your sketch over the reference and mark off where the proportions should be, relative to where they landed in your gesture. With repeated attempts, that might help you calibrate your instincts when doing additional sketches.
Hope that helps, and good luck on your gesture journey!
