Welcome Stuart! Nice gestures, can't wait to see more.
My only advice right now would be to try and reduce the number of strokes you use to get a line down. Especially with gestures, its great practice for line flow and effeciency. Ghost (make the motion without touch the paper) the line out a few times before committing, the more you do this the smother the whole process will be, and you'll actually get faster.
For good examples you can look at Ryan Woodward's gestures, or Henry Yan.
