The landscape above and the hand studies before it are really nice.
It'd be hard a this point to give you much feedback with composition seeing as there is little to work critique in that department. This landscape above looks pretty nice, although it took me a while to notice that there was a hooded figure in the foreground. I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm supposed to be looking at. The river leads my eyes towards what looks to be some industrial area in the distance, but then I notice the figure, and the trees all seem to be pointing me away from him/her. There is good atmospheric perspective in it as well.
As for the rest of your sketchbook, there isn't a lot at this point, but it seems quite random in terms of where your focus lies. Anatomy, composition, and perspective. . . I would possibly suggest that you do some full figure studies, and some inner architectural/landscape studies, then combine the two. Thumbnail some compositions, and place a character in a scene. This is just one way of going about it, you can work on your anatomy, composition with setting up the scene itself, and depending on what is happening within all this, perspective. Think of what it is you'd like to do, and have some studies done based off of that idea. Like I said, this is just one of many ways you could go about working on your specific weaknesses. Whatever works, and helps you learn best, I say.
Hope this helps. As always, keep it up! :]
