Your style would fit MMOs and Applibot-style commissions very well! For MMOs it's a mixed bag, but for cards you'll need to eventually focus on color, composition and a clean rendering style because image need some quick readability to have narrative power. Your lines would work well with these elements.
So, for the anatomy studies, your torsos are awesome. There's a minor detail about the women's, something that flies under most male artists radars — let's talk about breasts.
You're depicting them very well. They react to gravity in a natural way, they point in the right direction, everything is good. It's just that for natural breasts as opposed to implants, most of the time their outer edges won't follow the pectoralis up to the armpit, it'll go in a bit of a horizontal line under armpits instead, fading into the ribcage.

They'll get flattened when raising the arms, then having more the appearance of climbing up to armpits with the muscle but still more to the side of it.

Like I said, it's a minor detail. Stylistically you can ignore it if you want, but getting it right will set you apart from 90% of male artists. xD
For the heads, they're almost there. You're making the farther eye in the 3/4 a tad too long, ears and the back of the skull are a tad too small (but look better with hair). How do you feel about the construction method?
The feet are also nice, though you're making them too tubular at times. They'd be more triangular with a carved out arch on the underside instead. Because it's not articulated at the top the surface only changes slightly when standing on the toes. The dorso can't curve, changes happing due flexing and contracting tendons and the lean muscles there, and it's the change of direction in relationship to the lower legs and toes which makes it look more or less curved.
