The bottom left figure has dodgy arms, they look both flat and too long.
Maybe try and highlight some muscles or curvature to make them look 3d?

Shading looks neat though, and the other figures manage to convey depth better.

Thank You! I struggle with depth, I'll keep Your advice in mind for future.

very detailed, nice! 

perhaps shade with lines wrapping around the limbs like the arms and legs to avoid the figure becoming flat?
Jake Pink
Thank You! I'm trying to learn the wraping lines thing, but always seem to overdo it and I end up not satisfied... Guess more practice will do the thing!

the practice you do is visable. confidant lines. you are on a very good path.

a little tip would be to let some guesswork for the viewer. let some lines open. dont detail everything out. 

top left is a wonderfull example. u didnt overdue details and let some guesswork for the viewer. 

bottom left seems to lack areas with less details and open lines. try to reduce detaisl in the darkest shadows to get a nice effect.
Jake Pink
Thank You! I see Your point, sometimes it's hard for me to let go of this idea, that I have to define everything perfectly. Guess It's a control freak in me speaking through this, haha... I'll try to focus on that more.
