Hi! What helps me with gesture drawing is to look at the bigger picture. AKA, making general shapes of the body before diving deeper into detail. Thinking of the body parts as circles and ovals can help draw in the silhouette of the figure. Also, starting with 15-30 second drawings is a great place to start. They're quick sketches so they will not be amazing, however very useful in training the eye. Take advantage of the "line of action" which follows the figure.
