More Figure Drawing..

I find when I'm drawing these they look horrible but when they are smaller they look slightly better, is that common?

Figure Drawing :B

From Pixelovely.com. I actually like how some of these turned out! My first attempts at figure drawing turned out terribly but loosening my hand really makes it a lot easier to draw the curves. I meant to post my gestures from Monday but I drew each one on a different layer compared to just using a really large canvas and shuffling.
