How do you "get gud" at gesture/sketching?

Competent artists can convey what something is, how something should look relatively quick and easily (pic related) It isnt perfect, but it conveys an image, things are fairly symmetrical and proportioned well enough.

But my sketches are never that, I've been drawing seriously for maybe 4 years now, maybe more, and i struggle with just quickly conveying a scene or character in the way i envisioned it.

What needs to be practiced in order to effectively describe something in a sketch? What should be practiced to make sketching an easier process?

Not baiting, but post your work.
The issue with asking these questions is that the answer is different based on what the individual has issues with.

hey i'm always asking myself that question too OP.
i'd say focus on composition and simple contours.
