Yes, I'm pretty sure he does have sketchbooks filled with gesture drawings. These are also known as "sketches", dumbass.

You're getting hung up on one very specific method of gestural drawing and missing the whole point. Stuff like little stick figures or bubble people or figures in varying degrees of simplification are simpler and easier to draw. So you can spend less time thinking about anatomy and details or worrying about it looking good and focus on acting and expression. Artists do tons of these, both for practice, or for thumbnailing, or as the rough sketch of a drawing. They even do it for fun. If you want to be able to draw effectively from imagination then you are going to practice gesture, no two ways about it.

Steve Zapata talks about gesture drawing in this video. I shouldn't have to spoonfeed you shit, though, because if you actually spent time studying artists and how they work I wouldn't need to.
I also find it really funny that you don't seem to think art instructors aren't actually artists themselves. What, you think they took up teaching art as a day job to pass the time or something? Use your brain, man.
