Most of these are new. maybe a day old.
Good start. I've lost count of mine because I keep going back to gesture. I can say that each time I do, I get better at it. I think my gestures, if I kept them all, would range in the tens of thousands.
Hi there! I am not the best artist in the world, but I've done a lot of gesture drawing work, and it seems to me that you're putting a lot of effort into getting accurate forms of the body and your gestures are suffering a little bit because of it. I would suggest doing some VERY quick timed gesture drawings, around 15 seconds, to force yourself to really focus in on the FEELING of movement in the pose. When you only have time to do a stick figure, all you are able to do is focus on the feeling!
Once you start to exaggerate what you see and forego 'accuracy', you'll really be on the way to getting some great gestures done. I also recommend reading 'FORCE' by Mike Mattesi, if you can get your hands on it. His (and his students') gesture drawings are amazing, and he does a wonderful job of explaining the thought process behind them.
