so i been doing daily pose sketches for practice. Been doing it daily now for 5 days, altering between male and female. will be continuing until i can get some "not bad" kinda replays. Then maybe move onto some more complicated poses.
first pose is refrenced from zefiar(DA):sakura haruno. second is free hand and no reference was used.

Try doing some gesture drawings, these are real stiff and feel like clay objects then people.

Gesture is as simple as it gets. Do gesture.

The extremeties (arms and legs) are too long, and on picture 4 the feet posistion is not natural. Overally, It's pretty good, but you are gonna need to practice some more, try looking at real people, or just google some poses and draw those off.

@mizu. arnt these alredy gestures? the second one is like the guy is "arg! i forgot to buy bread."
@ jazzon. not the greatest at feet or hand's but yes i will continue to practice :)

Gesture is putting in the idea of the pose. Not the contour/outline of it.

I like these, you already got important stuff done like the proportions, and the hips (most people don't draw/draw them weird)
how about trying to finish one of these? sometimes you can see mistakes better then and improve of it then :)
the left upper arm looks a bit biger though

thanks coweetie :) and my reason for not finishing these is because they are just exercises.
here is todays : http://www.filz.us/files/1d1e3b89/f47/pose5_female.jpg
