Hey Wing!
It's great seeing you consistently updating! Just a quick tip on the boxes:
I have to reiterate what Artloader has said. Loomis! That book is helpful to get your anatomy proportions right, get into the workings of the skeletal system and other what have yous.
Your mannequin approach messes up your proportions. The head's kinda big, feet and hands too small and etc.. And, not that I'm discouraging you to get dynamic on your poses, but I believe it would help if you start with a simple pose (like a standing pose) and get good at that first. Probably a good thing to study Loomis' structure in doing anatomy. Copying his illustrations is swell, but always be mindful that it's not simply copying, but studying how he constructs the body with lines. Hammer down those proportions!
I know it's very testing, especially now you're just starting out. But anything worth doing cost patience!

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
