Asked for help
Drawing gesture from imagination is very difficult, and I often draw the gesture which I have seen before.

Don't be hard on yourself - there's a quote about writing that is also true for drawing - "you can't get out of a brain what isn't there to begin with." It would be almost impossible to draw a pose you've never seen before since our "imagination" is really just a synthesis of all we've seen and experienced up to this point. If you feel like you're always drawing the same poses, try changing up the content you're observing. Examples - if you love classic art, watch videos of modern dance. If you love superhero movies or comics, try fashion catalogues. Creativity is really just about connecting dots, so make sure you have some varied, interesting dots to connect! Good luck :)
Such a cool idea to put the letters into an environment. And I like how they're not all face-on but sideways, makes it more dynamic. Though, now that I think of it, wouldn't that put the letters in two point perspective?

I only remember the 8-head ratio, and I don't understand the 7.5-head ratio commonly used for female.

The practice process was very enjoyable, but I really don’t have extra time to practice more.
