ARTISTS: BE BRUTALLY HONEST

With the idea of making a reference sheet out of these skeletal designs in mind, I thought of my fursona and figured that it'd be lovely to make up some sort of rough design idea for a reference sheet and work from there. I set myself to work, and I feel somewhat happy with how this turned out. I've got a basic standing pose on the left; I've got a figure sporting my fursona's trademark thumbs-up pose in 3/4 view; and I've got a potential back-view in place.
I tried to make the back-view figure look as though it was doing a stretch as if my fursona was just getting up from a nap. I like it in the sense that I'm trying to give it a simple yet dynamic pose making it look natural; notice how the figure's shifting more of its bodyweight to one side? At the same time, however, I don't like it in the sense that I feel that went and drew this a little too awkwardly. For instance, maybe the ribcage is supposed to be twisted a little? Or maybe I've raised the left elbow a little too high? Or maybe it's unnatural for the pelvis line and circles - or even the scapular triangles - to bend the way they are?
Please help me with any constructive feedback on this and any of my past body structure attempts. I want to improve, but reassurance and guidance will hopefully help me to understand and give myself confidence with what I do. Maybe I might be looking at a new reference sheet for my fursona soon!
I haven't done any sketchbook practice pics for quite some time (especially considering I've grown a love for Paint Tool SAI). But lately, I came across this amazing art tutorial by some guy named Leonardo Pereznieto on YouTube on how to draw from the imagination. It looked quite enjoyable and understandable, so I figured I'd give this a shot. As you can see, it wasn't that easy to get a grip of right away. Any and all help would be much appreciated; I mainly want reassurance that I'm on the right path.

Hello Leo
1° i suggest to dont watch any videotutorial like that on youtube because maybe them give you some usefull advice but is useless without some basic figure fundamentals. For example, there is no shoulder movement in both arms in the last figure. Attemp yourself the pose and touch your clavicle. You can feel the movement of the bone when you rise the arm. The only very usefull channel of drawing on internet is at http://www.proko.com/library/ start with gesture drawing and dont skip any passage.
2° i looked all your artworks and i really reccomend you to read the book "Drawing with the Right side of the Brain". Please,READ IT and do ALL the excercises. This book is recomended by all art schools and teach you the 5 basic elements of drawing, them are essentials to learn EVERYTHING.
Sorry for my bad english, i hope this gonna help you

Hi, there, 
! Did you see my help request in the "Shout!" section on 
page? If that's the case, thanks for getting back to me so promptly.
Yeah, I had a feeling video tutorials were rather sketchy. I'll be sure to check out that website you gave me and start at "How to Draw Gesture;" I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try more new methods of drawing.
Y'know, that's the funny thin as far as recommending me that book. Somebody else recommended me that book as well a while back. I can't afford it right now, unfortunately, for personal reasons. But I'll take that advice into consideration and hopefully get my paws on it someday.
And don't worry. Your English was loud and clear this time around! Thanks a bunch again for taking time to critique my picture (as well as all my other drawings, too)!
