I think you succeeded with your task and really managed to identify the most important flow in the figure, even though the proportions on some are very wonky (which is typical in the beginning, it's mentioned in the gesture critique video). Keep practicing, it will only get better. Good tip about using music!

Hi @Kalmon Rosenblatt, good start! I see some nice things going on here. My favorite is the top right drawing of image 3; it has a nice flow going from the head down to the straight leg. Keep on practicing these they are really worth your time. You can get far with one hour a day💪 - 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. - SIMPLIFY! Try to use as few lines (C,S & I) as possible. As a rule of thumb, if you see a detail that you don't need to capture the pose, ignore it. Stan's example drawings are a good reference for the level of detail you should go for. A lot of details isn't wrong, but you have to be able to draw simply in order to add details thoughtfully. - In the end of the How to Draw Gesture video, Stan talks about how the contours of the body aren't symmetrical, but have a back and forth like rhythm. Try to look for this when you draw. As a rule of thumb, when you've drawn a line curving one way, you'll be drawing a line curving the other way next. This creates a flow that leads the viewers eye through the pose. You might appreciate watching the first 1 min & 30 sec of this video Drawing Demo by Glenn Vilppu. But again the practice tips are the most important, especially the part about following along with Stan, since his good habits will become part of your repertoar. Just keep on doing these and submitting for feedback. Hope this helps :) Looking forward to see more of your work!

I think the reason you're not reaching the time limit is because you're focusing too much on trying to capture the contour's of the models, instead of the motion. I recommend doing a bunch of 30-45 second gesture drawings, try the almost stickman like drawings Stan does at the beginning of this video. They'll help teach your mind to focus on the big picture, rather than trying to start the little stuff right away (pecs, abs, etc.)
