Movement, feeling, areas on figures that are taking the weight of the body (like on that laying down figure the arm would be darker because it's taking more weight for example) etc.
Don't worry if it doesn't look like the thing you're drawing, it's about allowing yourself loosen up. I was exactly like you, my sketches were basically contour drawings, maybe with a bit of shading. After I started being really (REALLY) loose at first, it made my finished artwork 10 times better.
