OK ill oblige..
your figures, majority have good rhythm and weight, your construction not so strong yet.
your faces often bit samey, not such a terrible thing but maybe try some variety, maybe you can do portrait study of a different face a day to start seeing the range of variations out there.
your posing and designs are lacking just because you need to absorb more real world info.
its definitely not easy but if its necessary for the look you want you gotta study what you want to be good at.
youre drawing needs work like pretty much all of us, drawing is real hard..
even when you stylize something it should have some consistency to be appealing.
this takes practice so dont worry too much
what do you want to be good at? if you dont know its ok but try out heaps of stuff then to find out.
(my priorities right now are people and dragons..) its tough even when you narrow things down
if youre trying to be a concept artist, you definitely need to cultivate a more explorative mind.
if you want to be an illustrator you need to think about improving your shape language, stroke quality or rendering skills.
i advise working on a big but manageable piece, till its satisfyingly finished. you need to do this once to know you can do it
i had one landmark piece that i worked on over 2 years but was a solid learning exp for me.
if you know what you are trying to be good at, do it now. if its concepts, do like 5 finished concepts rendered more than youd realistically need to in a company.
your studies are ok, the observation is more important than the result
dry different approaches. draw quick, slow, loose, structurd.. and find which one lets you observe and retain that info the best.
good luck and get on it while youre young.. i duno how old you are but sounds young.. good for you.
you can always reach out to me if youre stuck and ill tell you what i think!
peace and power to you
