Hm... I don't think I got the gist of this exercise yet. I need to focus on even simpler forms.

Excellent. They look really good to me.
This has been kind of devastating for me as I've taken other courses on other sites, but never dabbled in gesture drawing. I feel like there's something I'm not getting, or do I just need to keep practicing?
One of my biggest issues is that on demonstrations the drawings look well proportioned, but all of mine, particularly those where the character is bending in an unusual way the body looks kind of horrifyingly misshapen.
Any advice for what I'm doing wrong/right? Ways to improve?
Also, I think the lines are really light, so apologies for that. I think I'll use a darker pencil in future.
Thanks.
Something that has helped me in keeping my proportions (sort of) right is to draw one big overarcing action line and then drawing two lines indicating the shoulderline and the waist. This roughly halves my action line (since leg length is about half the body length).

Hello, I’ve just gotten back into drawing after more than a decade. Some I drew on top of others, so I don’t know how clearly it will read. Any critique would be welcome, I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know what.
I think they're fairly decent. But I do notice a lot of repeating lines. Maybe try making a single stroke to show motion instead of doing multiple? Overall you've captured the flow of the poses very well!

Day 2 - more gestures. This time I had 2 minutes per sketch. Looking back I think I should've thought more before starting to draw on a gesture.

Been drawing for about 3 years now but I've been stuck recently so I wanted to study from scratch, so I got a bunch of lessons! Did these in 1 hour.
