Man Force is a great book. It looks like it is helping your gestures, the earlier figure sketches are pretty fluid looking to me, especially against the previous SB page's. In particular I like what you have done with the girl with the bags - the gesture curve flows through her body nicely, and the size comparison of the bags against her skinny legs gives them a sense of weight. Keep trying to find those gesture lines that travel through the body like that, rather than just getting hung on contours. (Not that contours aren't important regarding shape.)
It is rather unnerving at first when people talk to you when you are drawing in public. I get it a lot (usually at least once when I go out - and once I had some French guy snapping photos over my shoulder!) but it is pretty easy to adjust to. It taught me to draw under adverse conditions, like having 20 children clustered around me.
