I am not good at cartoons at all but here are some ideas anon.

Your characters seem to all be meek and bored give them more lively poses and expressions. Make sure their posture is balance and not falling over.

Simplify! You seem to be lost in the details, details are good if the basics are sound. Take a step back and simplify your characters give them dot eyes for awhile until you are comfortable with them.

Proportions, styleiziation is fine and all but unless you go for abstraction there is a limit on how much you can go before your characters turn into static caricatures instead of "living and moving" ones. Try to keep the basic proportions of the body in mind like torso-leg ratio, arm-leg ratio, arm-body ratio etc. If you keep these you can draw a lot different looking humanoid characters and still make them look alright.

Perspective, put your characters on the ground, make their feet angle downwards since that is how the ground appear if you look down from a standing perspective. Use curves and circular lines instead of straight lines, using straight lines can make a picture look very flat.
