I think your latest efforts are an improvement proportionwise for sure. You need to not make your shapes so perfect and mechanical all the time. Like that one girls neck is a perfect cylinder.
The figure drawing you did is getting there, and i wouldnt worry too much about the likeness being off as its a decent face. Make sure you pay attention to the full mass of the epigastrial section as jeff calls it, like the way you have the line wrapping the shadow map from the stomach is sunk in a bit and it looks strange. It seems like the under drawing you had the idea of that section, its just a tad too far over. And also dont hesitate to indicate that pussyhoohavag thing with a small black line since it helps show the end of that landmark
But yea, that whole mileage thing i was talking about, itd really help the mistakes you made say in the first portrait. You know, when youre doing a portrait think, what if this came alive right now? Would this drawing ive done, would they be happy with how ive indicated them? I always run that kinda cerebral thought through my head in a drawing and it always makes me edit some things. Having some kinda life on the line, kinda messes with my head, makes me feel guilty if im fudging proportions here and there.

Sorry for the late response man, had some pc issues. Yh I have no idea what is going on with the black text, I notcied it when I posted but thought it would disappear on its own so I'll see if it's still occuring.
Stiffness in ym drawigns are definitely still a bitch for me, I was thinknig starting next week to start doing a bunch of studies of Jeff's and the other Watts instructors work and figure out how they idealise the form, thinking that might help with the stiffness. Feel like I'm at the point now that I won't improve just by simply doing lots of portrait and figure drawings since I'll keep making the same mistakes, need to learn how to idealise the forms and then incorporate it into my work.
Regarding the figure drawing I think it comes down to my understanding of anatomy, well lack of it haha, I can remember the upper torso and upper arms but the rest I'm shaky on. I've signed up for the structual figure drawing with Brian next month so my plan was to dive back into anatomy at the same time and focus on that for the following 10 weeks.
I like your thought process for portrait drawing I'll have to give it ago next week. :)
