I agree with Ambat, that's great improvement!
What I think improved the most is that your new sketch looks like you considered the body as a whole, instead of torso+upper arm+lower arm etc. The whole pose follows a purpose!
My one nitpick would be with the stick, of all things. Tilt it a bit more so it can properly hold up her weight in the second drawing, and consider making it clearer it's a round stick and not a ribbon by giving it some 3D form. (Like showing its top plane with an oval shape. You know, like the butt of a pencil.)
