Do you establish a horizon line for your figures? The figures you drew with boxes and cylinders seem like they dont have a consistent horizon line. The best thing I found for understanding form is to draw the figure as boxes or cylinders a lot. It forces you to figure out how much of the top or bottom plain is facing the viewer. It will also help you with foreshortening issues if you have a clearer idea of which part of the body is closer. Some times the figures arm or leg will be only slightly closer to you than the rest of the body. Figuring out how to draw the top or bottom plain for hard poses like that will strengthen your foreshortening for sure. Moar boxes! :D
