added comment inHow to Draw Gesture
I can't distinguish what's the difference between the "flow" and contour. Stan points out that he's not drawing the contour but the flow. Or direction or whatnot, while (in my eyes) is just drawing the contour. To me all these words, the rhythm, flow or whatnot are just buzzwords to me.

I understand, but if you look closely, you`ll never see for example that the contour of a leg are two "S" curves or two "C" curves, if you look closely to a leg, it's easy to visualize all the little bumps created by muscle, bones, tendons and fat (it is easy to get lost in all that detail).
But when drawing the gesture, we are purposely ignoring all those details and drawing just simple major lines that connect those forms. Perhaps it sounds too abstract now, but I would encourage you to keep practicing gesture because after putting it into practice for a while it becomes easier to grasp.
