Most of the advice I see about gesture practice is the standard "just draw the motion!" but... The whole difficulty of the process is that I'm not sure I understand how to find the motion. It all makes total sense when I watch a video of someone else doing it, but when it comes time to do it myself from a new picture, sometimes I don't even know where to start. So the basic advice unfortunately doesn't help much.

I think my results have changes since I started doing this, and I'm even starting suspect that SOMETIMES I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, but other times my results don't really resemble what I think it should look like. I suppose this is how it goes, but trial and error feels inefficient without specific feedback.
