Nice sketchbook! I can see you're pushing your limits and trying to make every next piece better, your ambition's pretty motivational to see :D
I agree with mark, good progress but I think you really need to be doing more controlled, constructed work and thinking in terms of basic 3D forms. It seems to me you're drawing really involved and complex stuff but not understanding the large forms and volumes that you have to build these details on.
For a while I was doing an exercise where I drew a human figure by replacing its limbs and torso masses with boxes. There would be 15 boxes in all, the head box, rib cage box, pelvis box, eight limb boxes, and four boxes for the feet and hands. I think this kind of exercise would be very helpful for you to do, it forces you think of the figure in terms of basic forms/perspective and decide what parts are closer to the viewer and what parts are further away.
Good luck!
