Hi @yawned_eyes, these are really nice! I looked at your previous post and wow, you have really improved! Congratulations!
-One way to push your gesture skills further would be to exaggerate the gesture. And I mean REALLY exaggerate it (you could even break the anatomy for the sake of more gesture). You don't have to pick this up as a habit in all your work, but it's a great exercises that stretches your mind (kinda like the Caricature of a Caricature exercise).
I aim at making my gesture quicksketches more gestural than the reference. This is to avoid stiffening up the pose. In some of these, though very subtle, the gesture is a little stiffer in the drawings. In the top right one for example. His right leg is more stretched out out and his left leg more bent in the photo.
Hope this helps :)
