Hey, looks good so far.
I'll try and give a bit of a critique on your work so far.
When drawing/sketching you have a tendency to be very, very sketchy. This isn't necessarily bad but it needs to be followed up by tightening the drawing. It may be the case that you're just working too fast. I see a lot of that and it's a habits that's hard to break. Accuracy is very important when learning. Being able to draw accurately and arrive at a nice, clean drawing becomes very very important when studying complex subjects like portraiture and anatomy and it helps a lot when you move forward into painting. Looseness is fine if you tighten your drawing later but being sloppy is a habit to be purged ;)
I also think you should put a heavier focus on anatomy. You're doing a lot of figure based drawing and knowing your anatomy just makes everything 10X better. Make sure you really memorise your anatomy. I saw you do drawings of the clavicle and scapula on the previous page yet a few posts above they're really just guessed. If you clearly mark the clavicle, scapula and acromion process, drawing the torso becomes much easier.
I hope I wasn't too hard on you. Keep on working hard! you're doing good :)
