So I'm changing the format of my gesture drawings and anatomy studies. Now the gestures are from the site posemanics.com and each one is a 60 second long pose and the longer poses come from photos found on Deviantart. 

I like the final pose here ,but my biggest issue is with the hands. I left them unfinished and I shouldn't avoid hands because they are something that I have struggled with in the past and continue to struggle with. Other than that I think that this drawing came out pretty good.

Another machine study. I think that I'm still struggling but improving.
