Hi!
As far as capturing the information of the pose (like proportions and landmarks), I think you're doing great! You're gathering a lot of information in a short amount of time. I also like that you seem very confident in your individual marks. It doesn't feel like there's a whole bunch of wasted lines anywhere. There's a good sense of economy there.
I think the main thing I'm noticing is that they don't necessarily feel "gestural" to me, if that makes sense. They are excellent sketches, but they feel a bit blocky and static. You're drawing very nice contours. To get a sense of weight or movement, though, I think you need to work on creating more connected lines. Try to get a sense of the overal flow and energy of the figure. How do those different body parts connect? What are their relationships with one another? What is gravity doing to the figure and how is balance maintained? It might help to try simplifying the forms a bit more and see where it gets you.
I found some possible examples to look at (through image searching):

What I like about these examples is that you get a sense of the figure and the energy behind them. There's enough accuracy there to tell what's going on but they don't feel stiff to me. Even though a lot of these examples are from animation artists, I think a lot of the principles still apply even if you're going for more realistic work. If it's one thing I've learned is that it's hard to overexaggerate when it comes to art. Usually things are more expressive than we think they are.
Hope that helps!
