Sketching Figures with Lines

Rough, gesture, or action sketches are usually rendered very quickly, sometimes in less than a minute. The benefits of making rough sketches are in the process, rather than the creation of a magnificent work of art. Hence, you only goal is to capture a mood, expression or gesture on your drawing paper.

Informative lesson, and have been averaging 3 completed sketches a day; will try for more as speed progresses, but would prefer quality over speed.
I sketched this from the book Leanardo DaVinci by Carlo Pedretti pg 124 (Ref: from male nude viewed from the back,
Windsor,Royal Library (K/P 84r; RL 12596r)
I used a grid as did DaVinci. I've tried grids before and didn't like them. So combining this lesson and trying to apply the Master's advice and tools; this is the result.

Great lesson. Hopefully I will continue to sketch 5 a day. Not as fast as I would like but gaining speed slowly
