You're coming along really well. Loomis's figure drawing book is awesome. Don't give up on figures. It takes a lot for them to start feeling familiar. Like a few hundred. I used to number my gesture drawings, but gave up around 200.
Sycra has some great drawing tutorials. Watch and draw along (pause if you need).

It helped me to draw the basic proportions about 3 times in a row (a Loomis suggestion), just to cement it in. Yes, the proportions change as the figure moves, but it really helps to automatically know those most basic measurements.
