Decent start. I'd say this is a bit more fleshed out than what I would consider a gesture. I would suggest to pay a bit more attention to the relationship between the head and the main supporting leg and foot which has a big impact on the center of gravity and in turn the overall gesture.

Vertical plumb lines are a useful tool for this. At my atelier whe used physical plump lines (weighted string) that we held out in front of us towards the model as a visual aid. You don't necessarily have to draw them on the paper, but it can be helpful for longer studies (not gestures). With photos and digitas tools it becomes even easier to check your own work. I like to draw the line so that it cuts through the side of the neck down to the sole of the foot. It makes it apparent how the head is positioned in relation to the rest of the body in your reference and drawing.
