Like, I get that I'm supposed to capture it in a few lines, as quickly as possible, but I just don't get how to do that.

I did this one twice because I felt like the first one was a bit stiff.

check out the vilppu drawing manual. lots of good stuff in that,
all a gesture is is the flow . it can be done in something that looks like a stick figure if needed, it only needs to convey the flow. then you build off of that .

I feel like this type of gesturing is such a skill in itself that it might as aell not be treated as a starting point

i also think you should learn proportion and stuff first before gesture.

Proko's videos on gesture and figure pretty much explain the same thing as that book too, it's a little handy to see Proko demonstrate it after reading it

Prokos gesture studies are based upon Reillys method and capture de big gestures quite well.Personally, by studying animators such as Gleane Keane you can see Squashing, streching and masses. Michael Mattesi's books are awesome too.Just remember to thing in 3d.
