added comment in3 Weeks to Better Gesture Drawing
Asked for help
Here is my Week 1 submission. There's room for lots of improvement, I'll redo this again in the future.
Could I please ask for help with my gesture drawings overall? I've watched all the linked videos in the description, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong or how to improve... (in particular my 10 min drawings 1), 5), 7) and 10)). Normally, I start with the head, then the spine, and then everything else kinda flops after that...
Any advice would be really helpful, thank you :)

Hello! I think we worked with the same materials, so your scans felt familiar.
My tip is that the spine and the gesture/line of action are not the same thing.
I'd check if you can find a few of the other videos Proko did on gesture, or a quick search for "line of action" on youtube, as the line can run all the way from head to toe in many poses. I think focusing less on the spine and more on the full flow or weight of the poses might be a place to think critically.
There's many ways to draw gesture though, so it's good to continually see what works for you and leave what just doesn't fit for your own style.

Week 2. I'm a big flowy noodley gesture kinda person, but I tried to think more about including structure and gravity this week.

Week 1 drawings. My scanner destroyed them quite a bit, so both tips and critiques on the drawings and for fixing the tech/presentation are welcomed. Happy to be drawing with you all in a Proko challenge again.

My week 1 submissions, 1st one is the 1 min batch, the 2nd being the 5 min batch
Love the exaggeration in those 1 minute gestures! You also have a very cool and unique (at least to me) mannequin in the 5 minute ones. Is there a specific resource you learned that from? It feels a bit comic inspired - in a good way of course :)

Some continued practices done after the due date, but before any livestreams/announcements.

I won't be able to finish this challenge in time after a hectic month, but I'll use the prompts to do extra practice while I catchup on the lessons :). Good luck to all competing!
