Ooooh look at all that figure work! Certainly doesn’t look like you’ve been slacking.
I know that problem with longer sketches turning out worse than the gestures… it’s so easy to lose the energy of a sketch, and to mess up proportions when working bigger. One thing I like to do for longer poses is make a tiny gesture first, to remind me of the flow and energy of a figure before starting on the bigger 20 or 40 minute version. Might be worth a try?
Also, tiny crit: Watch your legs, sometimes they seem to end up being a bit short compared to the rest of the body… not in all of your sketches, but some. Just something to watch out for.
