@Samszym: Thanks for the feedback as always! :) I feel, I have to explain my gestures a bit. I´m not drawing contour or muscles (maybe sometimes I indicate a bump or two, that´s right, but overall it is not anatomy) At the moment, I´m trying to intensify gestures and I go after Michael Mattesi, Jack Boson, Proko and Vilppu. I do have some volume in the gesture, but it is not contour. As for the bends in the legs, I´m experimenting a little and as the leg has (just like most parts of the body) a natural S-curve even in a "straight" pose, I try to stretch that a little. These should just be flow lines, not muscles! (I know that a shin from the side has an outward bump because there is a muscle underneath) On some gestures above, it doesn´t work and looks off, here a slight C-curve would have been better. But as I said: I´m experimenting a bit :)
Here are some gestures with different stages (the first 3 with the arrows), where I usually do start with just a few lines (takes about 20 sec) From there I refine it a bit (I´d consider this my standard gesture state). The third "gesture" is with indicated anatomy, so more of a quick figure (anatomy is not quite acurate)
The rest are just more or less ok gestures with varying stages
And some armor design
And here is the final assignment of my TAD class. Make an organic head out of the previous wood- and blockheads:
