Trying to apply your feedback to today's gestures

I want to thank everyone who has given me feedback, I take note of your comments and try to apply them every day, however, I feel like I'm still struggling to push the pose and show that curve in the torso.
I did 30-second poses and tried to break down a single pose.
Something that has helped me push the pose is to really focus on key angles of the pose and negative shapes created within it. On the single pose breakdown you did, notice the angle of her back. In the reference it is slanting more towards the left because she is leaning her body down toward her knee. In your sketches it is a bit stiff and closer to a 90 degree angle causing her to appear to be sitting more upright. Try holding your pencil to those key angles and put them down first to give yourself a good starting point to follow. Then push that angle even further to the left to really emphasize her leaning her body down towards her knee. Don't be afraid to deviate from the reference a bit! It will take practice of course (I'm still working on it myself), but it will make your gestures and quick sketches more dynamic! Hopefully that made sense! Good luck with your practice!
