@OtherMuz: Great critiques! Really appreciate you taking the time dude! I will take my time over the next few studies and see how I get on. I must admit I have been getting the feeling lately that I've been rushing through my studies and not remembering the lessons effectively.
For tonight I watched a few videos on gesture drawing and then gave the 30 second gestures another go.
My understanding is that these exercises should enhance my ability to see the gesture lines in a pose and that I should be able to capture the basic action lines that flow through the figures. At the moment they are just kicking my butt - hard!
I'm concentrating on gesture because I believe it will make my figure drawings look more natural.
