Day 11 learning figure drawing

I should probably add some line weight variation.
Nice job andypandi, these have some nice flow.
Actually this pose has some very beautiful gesture in it. Remember the limbs and how they connect also have gesture. Find the long gestures that describe the pose, but also the gesture in the arms and legs.
Hope this helps :)
Though this pose is not great for gesture as it's quite straight, you've done a good job exaggerating it! Make sure that when you do you maintain balance. If the pose is unbalanced (unless intentionally for motion) it adds stress to it rather than flow. You could make your drawings balanced by bringing her right leg out to counter the lean.
Good iteration too btw, always helpful to see the thought process with the end result.
I think these are good attempts. I find poses like this really hard to capture in a gesture drawing. For me what I would be trying to capture would be the backbend and the diamond of the bum and feet rather than the s curve of the spine but I think that's just down to different ways of looking at the same thing.
