Hey Anna, welcome to Crimson Daggers :).
Be careful - browsing and get involved in this forum can seriously improve your art ;). Seriously, I have picked up loads of great study techniques and links from this forum over the 12 months I've been on here.
Those are some nice sketches there. One little tip for you on the gesture sketches - sometimes it can help to include wrapping lines around areas of foreshortening. Being clear in your own mind of the orientation and form of your figures can be helpful if you want to go back and do more work on these figures later e.g. adding values and colour etc...
I've done a quick aquamarine draw-over for you to illustrate what I mean (hopefully I've understood the poses correctly!):
Hope that helps :).
Keep up the hard work :).
