      hi Naima,
These are great! My advice to you is don't be afraid to really exagerrate the actual pose to practice fluidity and movement in your sketches. That's what practice is for! I think focusing less on shadows and details and more on the pose and energy will help you achieve your goal. Poly has a good idea there - try doing quick sketches of many different gestures to work on this. Looking good!

      I think the gesture's quite ok, just the line quality that needs more working on.

This is from Love Life Drawing, but I haven't seen through this yet, furthermore, it's all about simplifying complicated forms. Take this with all the grains of salt.
