Torso studies, looking for the big forms.
Also, If my gesture quandary interested anyone, I spoke with one of my teachers and the answer I got was that gesture in angle is for proportion. Curves can convey power and emotion more easily, but you can just as easily lose tract of the relationships between forms which can cause problems in the finished drawing. Angles are easier to measure and compare. He still suggested that one should learn both to be well rounded (or well angled).
