I can see a lot of improvement in your progress. Keep up the good work.
The one thing I think could enhance your gestures is adding a mood to your figures. While you are drawing your gestures, think about how you would feel in that pose and why you'd express your body that way; let that feeling fill you up, and draw what you see.
Your drawing on the very left has some of this very expressive state, but loses it in the lower half of the figure.
When we draw, how we feel as the artist will betray or reveal our in-the-moment feelings on the surface we are drawing on, especially in our line quality. This is why we need to be careful about the environment we create and work in when tackling a larger/longer project. We often have to recreate that same feeling to get more consistent artworks. The viewer always knows if you have a mood shift. The way the -Insert part of the figure- is drawn differently due to not focusing on this more advanced step can really make or break a drawing. It can really jar someone out of frame and create disinterest in the otherwise beautiful artwork.
I hope this was helpful, and in the meantime, enjoy trying to be moody.
