It might sounds silly, but a very important skill for artists is being able to copy! Copying not only helps us be accurate, but allows us to start to build a mental image of whatever we reference, so we can draw from imagination.
Please watch the explanation and examples of what a 'gesture' is. You may draw as you watch. The video sis about 20 minutes long, but most of it is realtime examples:

Your assignment:
- Draw 5 gesture drawings and post them. Please limit your gestures to 5 minutes each. You may post them a single file or separately. You do not need to email these to me.
- Here is a handy set of human figure stock photography that you can use as references: http://seadrinker.tumblr.com/post/60721104134/shinga-tumblr-fujo-senshistocks-gallery
