Hi Marla, welcome to CD! Great start to your sketchbook. You've got nice solid painting skills. You just need to bring your drawing to the same level. Not that your drawings arnt good. Stick with those gesture drawings everyday. Id suggest doing 30 second basic stick figure gestures to warm up. Really try to observe the pose. Dont get ahead of yourself and always jump straight to drawing contours of the anatomy. Michael Hampton's book Figure Drawing: Design and Invention has some very helpful methods. Keep at it!
