Shape-wise it's clear, and you seem to have the major areas of shadow. I think what would bring your work up to the next level is to practice how to be even more detailed with light/dark shading. You might even just want to do some basic shading exercises. Once you have a very detailed control over how heavy or light you want to make an area, your drawings will become more and more detailed. Here's a proko video on "How to Hold and Control Your Pencil": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMC0Cx3Uk84

Hi George it seems like you've got the basic idea of the planes of the eye, wich is a good thing. What I noticed is that youre shading is really scriblly and muddy. You should give yourself more time to develop the tones. You might want to youse a harder pencil for the shading to increase the time that it takes to build up the tone. hope that helps

Did you follow Stan's step by step video on drawing an eye? I think his drawings can be generalistic. It might be worth drawing from life. Developing your own style.

So these are some 2min poses from models, I've been practising gesture over a month now and I'd like some help,any critic is welcome.. Thanks!!

There are a lot of good lines in those drawings. Many of them begin to flow with the figure and lose the halting scratchy feel from a hand that is unsure. I would suggest to move away from timed poses for a bit and try focusing on how you can describe large sections of the figure with minimal lines. 1-2 max for a leg or an arm. Keep asking how can I describe this art, or leg in 2 lines and really work on just getting that arm gesture correct, or leg or whatever. The reason why I suggest this is because gesture is super complex and when you add a timer to it there is a tendency to focus way too much on time rather than what is really important. Describing movement. Not just the movement of the person through space but the movement of a center line through a stationary form. Some concerted reflection on how to achieve some of these fluid gestures without a time will begin to influence how you treat the figure when your under the clock. look at different artists that are amazing at gesture as well. They all have a specific technique for describing form in the most simple of lines. I would suggest Steve Huston https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVz9s6OYPQ Hope that helps! Don't be discouraged by the progress or seeming lack there of. It's completely normal. This art game is a life long thing full of amazing stuff. So keep going!
