>Indeed i didn't use gesture or well
If it makes you feel any better, I used but I still botched it, she leans back far more than I or you drew.

>It could be that i'm not using gesture the way it's intended?
Cant say I am an expert on the subject.
I torrented prokos premium tuts on gesture and rewatched them few time.
Pic is gesture I drew, it doesnt have to be anything particular, all those cross contures come later, the very basic thing is to get the idea right.

I first go with gesture and then get perspective right (or more or less right) when I put construction (boxes, cylinders, spheres) on the gesture.

>Going for a less difficult pose and coming back to this later" might actually be the only solution
I wouldnt say that, the choice is up to you but I spend years drawing humans in 3/4 perspective.
The shading and everything was top notch but I couldnt draw them in any other pose till I got back to basic, and started actually learning how to draw.
I think getting out of your comfort zone is the only way to get any progress, whats they point in drawing stuff you already can draw well.
