It'd be great to have you participate in CC4!
Your hand gestures are improving. Going with those blocky simplifications can be really helpful for thinking about forms, and it seems to be working out for you. You seem to favor flat angles with the palm of the hand or the back of the hand being at a 90° angle to the viewer a bit too much though. It's noticeable that your 3/4 views, sideviews and dynamic angles look weaker than those flat angles, and I think that tendancy of not doing them as much is part of the reason.
The arms of the figure you posted seem questionable. Sure, there's foreshortening going on, but the way they are angled, the width of the lower arms, and the way the shoulders connect to the torso still feel really awkward. Besides that, it bothers me how normal-looking the character is. It's a personal piece. Go do something a little more crazy! Other than that, it's a good base to work off of.
