Hi Pal,
good practice work there!
Getting the proportions is hard and learning it is harder, everyone knows that I think! I really like the process you are showing. Understanding the flow of lines is important and you are not skipping steps as well, that's cool!
But it can also be a struggle to take a stickman to a finished drawing. Don't hesitate diving right into rough drawings! Stop scribbling along the sample so much and dare to fail! Loosen up your hand and your brain with a few 10-second-sketches and go over to longer sketches, until you reach the point where you got a loose wrist to just follow the flow!
Also here are two pictures of rather old-fashioned (from the 30s, 40s maybe (that's how the drawing style looks at least)) beauty-ideals, but I think they work very good for the stage you are at. Just do not stick to them too much.
I hope this helps! Have fun practising more.
Thank you so much Rosa! I'll bear in mind all your comments and advices. and thank you also for the reference images!
