Figure Drawing process 3

I've been practicing timed gesture for another whole week and honestly, I'm having a blast. I feel so confident with my lines, I think it's time to go to the next level and start relearning some anatomy and work with longer poses.
I also have this rendered drawing from a model, I would like to hear your opinion on this piece, I don't know how to create something that looks as professional as what Stan does on his Yoni demo, so any suggestion on that would be apreciated
(I'm working with graphite, tho).
Thank you for your time

My advice would be to continue doing your quick gesture studies in tandem with your longer studies. They are a great way to warm up and stay loose. Your drawing looks great; developing a greater understanding of the forms and specific anatomy of the human body is the key to unlocking the level of professionalism you’re looking to achieve. You’re on the right track!
It's lookin' good! My own experience with getting gestures to look a certain way -- I did a lot of studies of my target reference, (Glenn Vilppu, for me,) and tried to remember how it -felt- to create lines like his. Then... "replay" that feeling when doing my own from a model... and getting a heck of a lot of "brush-miles" in like that.
A great work-around if you don't have access to free or cheap life drawing sessions... GestureVR is a life-drawing app on Quest where they've scanned real models. I got it looonng ago when it was only on SideQuest, but I think I saw that it was actually on the Quest store now.
Make it fun to log those brush-miles! :D
Thank you for the suggestion, is like a master study aproach but with gesture, I love it! I'll try to look for that app too.
