gestures are really hard imo. takes a lot of practice and ideally your gestures are built on a foundation of form, perspective, and anatomy. see how even the more abstract gesture on the right in pic related builds on aspects of the other drawings? you can still get successful gesture drawings done simply by relying on observation and practice, but its a lot easier if you understand how forms flow and interlock. so if you're mostly on stage 1, maybe practice stage 2, a bit of 3 and 4, see if that helps.
and if you just want to jump into it, look carefully at some reference and try to trace a path along the forms, over and around the muscles, fat pads, wrinkles, and bones. go slow, avoid straight lines, and dont be afraid to leave gaps in the silhouette.
