I think these two turned out pretty well, but I am not sure width of the human from the side, thank you for the video, what would you recommend to do now? and are those figures well proportioned and if not how can I fix that?
Don't worry about fixing, you just need to be aware of them for now.
Next step is start doing gesture drawings. Don't imagine people out of thin air, you need to draw from reference. Can be real people, still, photo, etc. Fill your sketch book with tons of them.
Gesture drawing should be done quick, it's meant to teach you flow of body and not detailing. Try to keep each sketch under 5-10 minutes. In a longer drawing session we usually starts with gesture drawing, sort of like a warm up, as well.
The next step would be to start observing body parts 1 part at a time and try to see the big shapes. This drawing right here demonstrate that pretty well. See how the artist combine 2-3 fingers into 1 single shape? http://idrawgirls.com/images/2009Q4/how-to-draw-hand-basic.jpg

Section 2 and 3, drawing, are what you're looking for I think.
