/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

so i've been wondering if i understand gesture.
when i see people doing gesture drawings they are kind of all over the place while I was trying to be very technical about it (bottom row)
i tried again this time thinking in lose terms and drawing quickly and I ended up wit top row. which one should i do and which one is the right way to do it?
i think the top row is the way to go since I actually have more or less fun doing that instead of just placing a few lines hoping i don't end up with a stick figure
