Did some exercises starting with a random gesture line and then developed it into whatever made sense. Focusing on gesture first is helping so much to bring more life into drawings. It also helped my focus to keep it simple by just using ballpoint pen on index cards.

A gesture is like a simple sketch that captures the essence of a character or pose. A gesture can be as simple as a curved line that shows the overall flow of motion, which can then be drawn on top of with more detail later. It's important to get the gesture right from the start, because you can always add on to a good foundation, but if the gesture isn't right, then no amount of detail will make up for it!
