A running problem

Here are two 15 minute drawings. The first done in a live drawing session, the second at home on the couch from a dfl reference My issue-the drawing from life just doesn’t, to me, have a satisfying structure to it. I tried to compensate by a bit more rendering. The one from the photo of course has less rendering but is a better start for something more finished. This is consistent between my life drawings and those from photo references. Does any else have this issue and do you know how to get past it?
