How Do Ya Like Them Gestures?

Gesture drawing is a very important element in drawing. Getting a figure's gesture down is key. That's why in art classes they make you do it over and over and over and over again... really fast. Like, you have to capture the gesture in 30 seconds or so (sometimes they'll give you longer, depending on the exercise).

Here's some examples of my gesture drawings. They're mostly the human form, but there's gesture in everything.
