Hi there @jenelldeloria! You’ve got some pretty nice sketches here - Good clarity and cohesive sense of construction overall 👍🏻 I also like how some poses feel pretty flowy, such as the ones in images 6 and 7. Looking at the “big picture” of your work, two main things pop to me as aspects to comment on, so I’ll try to frame them in a way that I hope will help you: OVERLOOK ANATOMY - I know it can sound a bit odd of a suggestion, but sometimes, one thing that helps me with gesture is to completely ignore any anatomical information on the figure. So, if you’re interested, one thing I’d recommend experimenting when you wanna practice gesture is to just not care about any other details or forms on the body and think only “motion”. Simplify each figure as much as seems viable. Maybe even try to imagine and visualize the figure not as a solid body, but as flowing water, or even “pure energy”. As a result, the sketch might feel a bit abstract or stylized, but as long as it represents the dynamics and feeling of the figure, it’s fine - Later on, as a further step on the drawing, you can tie it down and work all the forms and the anatomy using your early motion-only lines as a base. DESIGN THE MOTION - One interesting thing not everybody realizes is that drawing gesture is also a process of design - the drawing we make doesn’t need to be a strict copy of the model/reference, but rather a sort of “enhanced interpretation” of it. What that means is that we have the freedom to change it, push it, exaggerate it etc. - if we want. With that in mind plus the idea of simplification, we can then make conscious (or intuitive) design decisions about the motion and flow of the figure when we’re establishing how its gesture should be. In the end of the day, as long as the drawing works for itself and makes sense in terms of gesture and construction, it’s okay if it ends up looking different than the reference - sometimes the reference is even not dynamic enough, so it’s actually better to give it a little push and shift of exaggeration. I’m attaching a draw-over I did on some of your sketches as a way to illustrate what I mean and provide some visual feedback as well. Hope it helps! Please keep in mind all my advice comes from a sum of my own personal experiences and point of view - but there’s no absolute single truth in art, and, instead, many perspectives, preferences and ways about how to make things! Make sure to always seek and adapt whatever tools and techniques work better for you and your art goals. And I wonder if you have more recent work you’d like to share - feel free to do so in case you have. Good drawing! ✏️

These are lovely!
