Hey kikindaface: i remember seeing you everywhere haha.
Well, I'm sure you know know by now that you have really nice linework, and you have gorgeous pencil studies.
I think what's going to help you improve the most at this point isn't so much a fundamental thing one could single out but more a mindset development. You draw lots of figures, who are they? what are they doing? posing? bending over? They seem... emotionless and stoic. Is that how people in your ideal world look? Sure we're all guilty of that stoic face when we're learning head drawing, but you've got that down my friend, try some expressions, it could liven up your work a lot.
You draw a self portrait, looks pretty dang good. Why'd you do it? to get a little better at what you're already good at? shading, and lineweight, structure etc.
Sure, some of your proportions, like in the arms could be better, I.E. they're too short. Some might be inconsistent, like a head is too big, the legs too long. But what purpose are these figures and sketches for. You're an artist, what are you working towards? Jobs? self expression?
Try to get specific with what you want to do, because just improving is very broad and isn't very specific. Try to inject some story into your drawings, or some interactions; I notice myself telling a lot of people this at a similar stage. Best wishes my man, hope you keep posting
