Hey man, your doing great! You really got a great gesture in your imagination figure post #82, it's really hard to do them from imagination so great job! About slowing down, I think it's a back and forth process - you need those longer, slower studies to really train yourself but then the quicker, more rhythmic and instinctive drawings are where the 'art' lies (but you can't get good 'art' without the knowledge, and you can't get the knowledge so intrinsic without the slower studies). So getting a good balance of quicker figures and long slow, thorough studies will really help - any life drawing in your area? They are great since (for me anyway) you tend to draw with more care since there is a whole load of other people there but the poses are timed so you develop quicker thinking. Plus drawing from life is so much harder and therefore (I think) more intensive training.

I made some notes on gesture drawing, I was going to post them here but it's a really tall image so I'll just post it in my sketchbook and you can have a look there.
