>it is essential to improve in figure drawing?
yes

If you can't draw live models you can't draw. It's really that simple.

surely you're used to the daily stupid threads by now?

No anon stay away from gestures, just get good at pin ups and draw fan art, you get a shit load of followers in no time

Gestures are a meme. You only need to get good at them if you want in on animation or comics and even then it's a meme. Read force for animators if you want dynamics in your anatomy.

Sometimes I wonder of gestures are a plot to make people quit art early on. It's way harder than it looks and would take an insane amount of time to get right if you're a beginner. Unfortunately I fell for the meme and wasted a good six months when I started (t-thanks Vilppu)
