Asked for help
These are some of my gesture Drawings. I really need your views and critiques.

Hey Brett, Good job trying to get the gesture here, you got the tilt of the shoulders and hips right. What you want to do with gesture is to use sweeping lines to describe the pose. It takes getting used to, but soon you will see why its so important. I did a drawing to show you what gesture is and how it relates to later parts of our drawing. It will keep our drawings from getting stiff. I hope this helps, keep drawing :)

Thankyou Steve 👍 will do, much appreciated

Gesture can be a lot of things, but it looks like you are trying to do contour drawings rather than gesture drawings. Focus on trying to use just a few lines to describe the action of the pose.
