Your doing a good job at capturing likeness but focusing on that too much can lead to stiff drawings. Don't be afraid to exaggerate/change things so it looks more dynamic and fluid. They can also be quickly so you can get a lot of mileage despite not having much free time.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks, its nice to know that there are other people starting late

are you planning to make career out of art or is it just a hobby for you?
As for the gestures, yeah, I tried doing the whole "structural drawing" thing, when you start with the gesture, then add ribcage, pelvis and so on, but it somehow wasn't working for me. My figures always occured weird, stiff and ugly, so I started to draw without any structure, I just start somewhere and then do trial and error, here is a video process of the last page if someone is interested (at the beginning there are just warm-up scribbles)

Thanks, I always try to clean lines a little bit while sketching, good to know that it is working out
