Mhm, looks like a human. Well done! 👍 Only the face does not look female to me. It's a woman, isn't it? The left breast looks female to me. The right leg looks good. You might need some practice with arms. But you are far ahead of me!

I liked the proportions and how you captured the nuance of shadows on key areas such as the right arm.

I see you tried to vary line pressure to bring attention to specific parts of the body. That is a good approach. But notice that where your line is heavier, it is also less control. I'd try to practice having more line control even when applying harder pressure, so your line get's more elegant. 

Final note: I see how you tried to suggest the feet features. I think the right foot is way better than the right because you didn't try to represent each toe. In the other one, because you tried to propose the contour of each toe, it felt a bit off. Try to be more economic in the marks when you don't have the time or intend to focus on small details.

Thanks for your valuable comments!

Overall I like the study. I'm a fan of how you were able to keep the legs proportional. But I think I have three ideas that might help you.
1-Maybe start with a basic line as to show the motion of the figure. From this you can then apply the basic parts of the body such as the ribs and hips. This would help to keep the movement of the figure rather than being a little still.
2-I think your find it helpful to learn the basic parts of the body:Ribs, Hips, skull. I usually after the first line for movement sketch these to help show how the body turns and flows. And this might help to sketch the head so it is turned rather than facing directly front.
3-With the time you had for the study I think it would be best for you to focus less of the face, basic figure drawing is to focus on the movement of the body, not details. This would help to make time for the rest of the body, like the hands, rather than the face.

Hope this helps
