Suggestions:
Draw a thousand tiny characters in various stances. Tiny, not full page as you tend to do. Don't focus on the details, just the overall structure and proportions of the body.
Paint in grayscale to learn the importance of color value (how dark or light it is).
Paint large areas with solid colors to focus on the most striking contrasts.
Paint a thousand tiny people in two or three color values.
Post these studies so we can comment and help.

Sugerencias:
Dibuja mil minusculos personajes en varias posturas. Minusculas, no grandes como la pagina. No te preocupes con los detalles, solo con la estructura general del cuerpo y las proporciones.
Pinta en escala de grises por la importancia de la luminosidad.
Pinta areas grandes con colores solidos pora concentrarte en los contrastes mayores.
Pinta mil minusculos personajes con dos o tres colores o grises.
Publica estos estudios aqui, que podamos comentar y ayudar.
Animo!

Great work and studies, always focus on construction as you have been. I really like that last warcraft one. I like that you're trying different poses, and not just sticking to standard character facing you with arms down (as a lot of artists do) You've got a pretty established knowledge of color just try not to get too black with the shadows. Keep it up! will follow this sketchbook when I can. A lot of others added some really good suggestions, ctrl paint is a really good resource, and I also found Noah's art camp to help me a ton with painting.

New illustrations and sketches!

I think you should pay more attention to the fundamentals, your figures are stuck and without rhythm, I advise you to start with gestures and then go to structure and proportion

Treating the body with more form in the initial stages of a drawing will give it more believe-ability in the render as you finish a piece. Study the body and break it down!
