Fashion figure gesture sketches

I found that timed fast sketches are more effective at getting the main gestures, movement and weights of the model than carefully drawing them. From previously having to carefully sketch structures, I felt like I have drastically improved my figure drawing skills without needing to structure the 9 heads. I have also developed a lot more understanding of concentrating on the structures, main components, minimal lines in order to result in better sketches. I also enjoy working with charcoal pencil, and have found that it allows more flexibility in fast sketching with darker lines. Although I find watercolour more challenging to work with as it is more loose and flexible so I was not really able to capture components of the model.
