@darktiste - Yeah, I kinda slowly shifted away from adding a line of action into my gesture drawings. I still do add one, but only for particular parts of the body (mainly just the torso). I should try to add full lines of action, showing the overall movement, direction, weight, and position of the figure or really for anything.
Also, going through the book The Natural Way to Draw for awhile had me doing very loose gesture drawing, almost like scribbling or squirkling. Which I did for a while, then started transitioning to other methods.
Thanks for the insight, and sources!
@cgmythology - Aawwwh yeeehhh, thanks!

Back with some more stuff! Some of it being The Natural Way to Draw exercises and a few original pieces. A lot of it is actually finishing up previous pieces, or at least bringing them all to an acceptable quality.
The creature from the tall grass has finally been completed, though I still think the perspective is a little off on it (the foreshortening on the creature, or the background? not sure...). For the desert lizard I mainly wanted to focus on the head, and attempt to see how quickly I could get a piece to a reasonable quality level. Then for the tail-whippin' Ancient Egyptian-esque gator, I planned to just do a rough paint over of it, but I spent quite a bit more time on it than expected lol.
