I was having a conversation with my good friend HamletMachine (of Starfighter fame - yeah, I'm totally bragging), and we were talking about "overworking" drawings, or starting with a fresh, dynamic gesture and losing that dynamism as you work in the details and adjust things like proportion and whatnot. It's hard to find a way to keep your gesture's original looseness and character throughout the process. It's like clay - the more you work it, the less life it has.
One way I was able to deal with this is due to my lovely Galaxy Note 8. Sketching in the Photoshop Touch app, I'm able to do a gesture and then leave it as an overlay on its own layer. I can then work in details on other layers, always having my original gesture as reference if I feel like things are getting a little dead feeling.
Here's some more D&D doodles to illustrate:
