I've said it before and I'll say it again - porn!
Seriously! If you have trouble with figures, draw them naked and what's cheaper than life drawing classes? Porn!
Hands and feet are easy - you can use your own pretty easily, and I get my boyfriend to sit with his hand still so I can practise man hands.

Speaking of hands, many artists never really get them down right. You know that famous portrait of Napolean Bonaparte with his hand in his coat pocket? I was told the real reason as to why was simply because the painter couldn't do hands very well.

Alright, this is how I draw people, so if you disagree, cool - post your opinion, too, so this guy can choose what he likes best.
I can see from the second picture that you've drawn in a basic stick-figure skeleton, which is good. But I think your pictures would improve drastically if you drew in the figure, which from what I can see, you don't - do you just go straight to the clothes? Anyways, even if you are aiming for a cartoony style, it is good to get into the habit of drawing things more anatomically correct. Then it is easier to deviate from that.
Here is a tutorial that illustrates what I mean.
