Glad to see you getting under-drawing and structure worked out some. Try doing pages of just underdrawings in different poses. Just the stick-figure skeletons, no details. If a drawing works at that stage, you can add all the detail you want.
But do a page of the gesture skeletons, and walk away from them for maybe 30 minutes. Watch tv, whatever. Then come back and analyze the drawings again, and you'll start to see what's not working. This way, you're able to fix it before you get to a point of having so much detail to fix.

Keep drawing!
The skeletons should look something like this.
