I set out to ink a hundred figures with the brush pen. I used http://www.characterdesigns.com/ and Louis' blog as a stylistic reference <http://louislearnstodraw.blogspot.com>. He, in turn, learned from Michael Hampton. I won't pick up the brush pen again until I'm ready to practice shading.
The point of gestures is economy of line. It becomes a balancing act: too few lines and it becomes difficult to intuit what the figure is doing, too many lines and it becomes a tangled, impractical mess. Develop a technique whereby, with as few lines a possible, you can record a gesture to dig up years later and know how to fully articulate.
