It's very normal, I'm the exact same way. The problem that I have is that I don't have a good feel of angles. I can usually draw a character just fine from the front/side/back view but if I have to draw a character in pose or in a certain position that's where I have major problems.
An example I can give is trying to draw a Knight in a battle stance. That Knight would have his head facing forward, his right leg bent forward, his left leg bent with his left foot facing towards the viewers eyes, his right arm raised with a sword in his right hand and his left arm will rest on the side of his hip with a shield in his left hand.
This is where I struggle a lot and rely heavily on other drawings/pictures to create a " base " for me to have to work with.
