ghosting is useful for any lines
if you wanna practice curves then start drawing ellipses

that not gesture
in your attempt you tried to draw the contour of the model instead of the action or the flow

check out vilppu drawing manual first chapter
or proko gesture video

capturing the gesture or the action of the model
and also getting a sense of volume

Ill tell you how i did it, when i was a kid i traced everything, everything, this gave me a feel for how things actually are, i would also never pay attention in class and just doodle all day.
Eventually i got curious of why in the how to draw books they always have those pipe men and shapes, and it tells you to learn actual anatomy.
So i grew into a neet, and now all i do is study perspective, anatomy, color theory.

Then you learn the secret, everything can be broken down into a simpler shape, everything can just be pipes and sticks, or just a light template, then you can draw over it, you can draw the deatils.
Then you realize, oh , what about, what about drawing things from different angles, or how about far away, and up close, and side to side, and below, and above.
And, wait, women are shaped differently from men, so are kids, and old people, and nigs look different, and asians have chink eyes.


Also, wait, wait, wait, how come i never draw mechanical things, and buildings, and animals!
