Hi
I've looked at all your sketchbook and i've observed that you didn't actually do any construction exercises which are the most important.Not even gesture drawings will help in making a good solid drawing.
If you want to improve faster you must start to focus on linework,building with simple shapes as circles,squares etc or cillinders and blocks and less on rendering.
I recommend you to look after Michael Hampton figure invention book[or workshops] and read it draw from it to learn more about construction with cilinders and such.[it also covers gesture drawing i think]
As here http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gr5-3Drb7GE/T6..._part2.jpg
By doing this you can see and visualize more clearly the direction of the body parts and also give them solidity.
If i remember right even in the loomis books there are things about construction.
For animals the same.construction.Draw skeletons,learn number and lenght of the bones draw with blocks .See Marshall Vandruff dvd. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FC6FQ-7UP5E/T6...uction.jpg
