Some hard work up in here - keep at it, Greatdictator! I'm really liking the character poses in the last image! And I am seeing some improvement, which is always great ^ ^.
Something that I'd suggest (which is what I suggest to everyone, including myself) is paying attention to how things look in everyday life. Test yourself with simple objects, for example - try and draw a pair of headphones without any reference, only from your head, using your knowledge of basic form that you've been studying. And then, actually look at this pair of headphones... and I mean reeeeally look at 'em, then draw it while making glances at it when you feel stuck, however, only when you feel stuck (the 5-10mins of observation should be enough time to have picked up on the main shapes and some of the smaller details) - this way, you're seeing what you do and don't know, so that by the time you redraw the headphones completely from your head - without reference - you'd have learned even more than you thought possible.
But yase, much study, very wow
Be sure to balance all this study with work from imagination - something I neglected doing in the past and now I'm paying for it
Anyways, keep grinding, and then grind some more!

I'll be back - it's an odyssey, after all
