Some more gesture drawings

So I’ve been doing some more gesture drawings in the past week and I think I’m starting to get the hang of gesture alittle bit. Sometimes I try different things to get the gesture right without noticing. Critique is appreciated.
These do look pretty good, they have some nice weight to them and feel solid, but you are using too much anatomy in these and it is working against your gesture.
You are trying to add all the bumps and shapes to the silhouette, so your drawings are not true gesture drawings. Try to find "S" and "C" curves that describe the whole pose from top to bottom. Try to see the rhythms in the limbs and how they add to the gesture. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)
So that's what Ive been noticing in some of the gesture drawings I do, I guess Ive been trying to get it to look right instead of trying to just get the gesture and flow of it. Thank you for the reply, I'll try to loosen up next time i do gesture drawing.
