Addendum to initial post,
Nude Figure Drawing:
Cylinders, with action lines included for some reason:
circles with more circles and also lines
Skeletons on top of photo reference:
with even more circles, really got me thinking about the locations of body parts and whatnot. I ended up marking the chest area with a cross on the front so I can tell where it's facing.
Skeletons based on reference/imagination:
This got much tougher, but I liked doing this one as opposed to doing it on top of the references themselves.
Proportions:
I'll probably have to do this one a lot in order to get it down right. Turns out I strayed just a bit too much from the reference provided by the lesson video.
Gestures:

It's gonna be a LOT of work before my gesture drawing will look even halfway decent. They're essentially scribbles at this point.
I intend to adhere to a daily schedule. At least the gesture drawings at the bare minimum.
Unfortunately I couldn't get to the full figure drawing yet since I ran out of time in the day.
Needless to say I'm excited to start working on all this and start improving.
