This is my attempt with an ink bottle. This exercise was really helpful in getting me to think about perspective more in my drawing. It took a while to get used to the blob method but I'm starting to enjoy it. However, I still struggle with shapes like ellipses.

Your struggle with ellipses will be a thing of the past when you work on them in the future.
I'm pleased to see you working with them enough to discover that an object so simple is, when you take the time to understand it in perspective, truly advanced.
You are working the first stretches of a muscle you'll use like a pro as you continue. Good show Jovi.

Hello,
My name is Jovi and one day I would like to create graphic novels. My big picture goal would be to create a fictional world. I’ve always struggled a lot with perspective particularly with drawing objects and buildings. While I think I understand the basics of perspective its hard to apply them in creating things like settings.
There are a couple of things I want to improve on: Using perspective to create believable locations, learn about Curvilinear Perspective, and drawing objects and people in different angles.
My main influences are artists like Moebius, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Kim Jung Gi among others.
I’m really looking forward to this class!

Nice work @Jovi Thomas! Strong gesture and good structure!
- I think you're making the boxes a little thin
- I would try to show more of the squashing an stretching happening in the fleshy area between the boxes. Emphasize the gesture with a straight on the streched side and a curve on the squashed side.
Hope this helps :)

Here's another batch of gestures (120sec poses from Quickposes). This time i prefer not to post any sources so i'll leave it to you guys to figure out if they seem to make sense.
I think you capture the movement of the figures very well. I would recommend that you use a center line. It can be really helpful in finding the balance in the figure. Also, taking a few seconds to look at the pose really helps in figuring out what's important to draw.

Here are some 1 - 2 minute poses. It's been a while since I've done gestures, so any feedback would be appreciated.
