Welcome to the forums, Ninjerk! :) Hadn't heard of TAP before, I might join that site too actually. It looks like you are beginning your journey with art after having wanted to for years, like me, congrats for getting going!
Keep going with those gestures, and do go to a real life drawing session if you can! It's good to mix that in with the photo studies if you can. I've heard that a ratio of 20% life drawing and 80% from ref is good if you are the kind to draw from internet ref a lot. I have not been able to find life drawing in my area, even at the so-called "art center". :'( Try to get confident with those gestures, and remember that the point of gesture drawing is to capture the movement of the pose, not the contours. Check out Proko's youtube channel for great tutorials on figure and gesture drawing. :)
Keep it up man, and put in those hours!
