Man those traditional armor studies look good! Liked the Jorah Mormont study on the page before too, but it's nice to see that you get more contrast in the armors now. Makes them look more metal and you know...armory. Impressed by your knack of blending the shading in such a smooth way without it getting all blurred up!
For the gestures, have you tried doing them with only one line? I found that helped me a lot, especially when I did quick ones. It's easy to get caught up in anatomy and forget that you're actually doing gesture. You want the balance and flow of the pose, not so much the detail. And I found doing those gestures without letting go of the pen helped my line quality too.
Everyone's got a different approach but it's nice to switch it up once in a while also :)
