These studies are so good! I think your critiques of yourself show you're really thoughtful about what your work and you really want to make progress. But maybe you're a little hard on yourself. You are doing really nice work, especially your figure drawings. Your studies form reference are solid, really. I don't think you're lacking the basics I think you're like almost there to be honest.
I think if I notice one thing to work on it's honestly just modeling. I think you're like 90% of the way there, and all the paintings read incredibly well at the thumbnail size. But I see little shifts in value that could use that 10% more refinement to get the form to read more smoothly and solidly in both your copies from reference, and imagined work. Not more detail necessarily, just feeling the form a little more and getting those perfect values to show plane changes.
This standing female one looks basically perfect though, damn.
Also love the stylized frankenstein painting
