I have a couple points:

1.) That image you posted in your example is fucking shitty. I don't understand why people keep posting that shit. The proportions are horrendous and it's overall shape design and gesture is horrific
2.) Speaking of proportions, it's literally the most important concept in art. It's not anatomy and it's not values, it's being able to draw what you fucking see.
3.) Fundamentals aren't in a vacuum. In order to be good at gesture drawing you need to be good at anatomy/form and proportion. Gesture drawing when it comes to humans is being able to simplify the body with as few lines as possible. You CAN'T SIMPLIFY WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. That's why your gesture sucks.

5.) Speaking of sucky gestures, how about you get better inspiration? I attached some images. Michael hampton is probably the best book for figure drawing in general.
