gesture sculpt after gesture drawing

I had made the armature before, which is a copy of a larger, thicker version of what I'm working on. I'm working on a Medusa sculpt, but her hair, instead of what I like to call "Barb!e hair", is just two braids, which split into snakes, one of which pokes through the head/eye socket of a skull she is holding. She also stands on another man's skull she has conquered (I know, I'm a scary scary person..ha!) Simon wanted me to focus on the pose, even though I started on the first one. So he suggested that I do a smaller one or a series of smaller ones. It's about gesture and finding balance for the sculpture, something that in digital or even in drawing a lot of people don't think about because there is not that sense of weight. Also, in sculpture, the line of action/lines are very important to provide 'flow' for your piece. You want to keep the eye moving. So I started after doing a gesture drawing class with K@rl. It's not rendered out or anything, but already I think it has character; you can get a sense of the 'attitude' of this woman. She doesn't slump and has a line to her gesture. I think that of all the STRONG sculpture pieces I've ever seen, the line and gesture is what pulls the person in, especially for entertainment. All the rendering and textures and wrinkles in the world can't save a bad gesture or line in a sculpt, in my opinion, because then the character just looks DEAD. And if you're trying to tell a story about a character who we should give a rat's buttocks about, shouldn't we try to give it as much 'life' as possible? J0rdu says that also comes from a LOT of l!fe drawing and observing NATURE, the best teacher. So it's something, since Simon has been talking about it, that I really want to continue on. He says the more you do, the better. And it's also not so intimidating ecause you're focusing on the 'start', not the rendering out where you might think as an artist "I suck at this because I can't do the eyes right in sculpting a f@ce", etc. You can literally go to a public place, carry some armatures and clay and right then and there do some gestures inspired by the people you observe. Fabulous-ness!!! AND you're getting your 'life drawing' on in 3 DIMENSIONS!! Woot!!
