Good focus on gesture. The spine has a tendency to look a bit too straight and upright in all poses.

The pose on the upper left tilts the tiniest bit to the left, with shoulders almost vertical, and the head almost in the same position as if they were just standing straight. I am pretty certain, this pose should be bent quite a bit more.

With the pose on the upper right I understand why you could read the reference as an almost straight back. In fact, it isn't straight, she has quite a hollow back, pushing her buttocks out to the side quite forcefully. Also her head definitely isn't straight above her hips, but quite a bit forward towards the middle of her left thigh.

A few tips here: #1 Imagine on your reference a line straight down from the center of the head, and observe whether chest, hip, etcetera are actually on that straight line. If not, avoid drawing them there. When they are to the left, draw them to the left, when they are to the right, draw them to the right.

#2 You are atm practicing the gesture phase of constructing the human form, and you (like most beginners) have a tendency to draw the poses too stiff, too upright, with too little motion. Counteract that by trying to exxaggerate all your poses. If something is a bit to one side of your plumbline, draw it further to that side. If something is bent a bit, bend it more.

#3 You make a good separation of hip and chest. Unfortunately you use the shoulderline as upper bound for the chest. This is close, but unfortunately incorrect. The human chest's upper border is anatomically rather formed like an upright egg, with the tip at the gorge, where it connects to the neck. Likewise at the gorge is, where the collar bones, the clavicula start, so on top and slightly above the chest. At the end of the collar bones are the shoulder joints, and the collar bones have quite a degree of independent movement from the chest. The actual upper end of the chest is invariably modified by the shoulder line on top of it, but still try to see them as different entities.

If you stare at the shoulders to determine the position of the chest, you can be led wildly array and easily confused whenever the model employs dramatic shoulder movements.

Try to localize the chest by finding the line between gorge and solar plexus, or watch, whether you can spot the lower ribs.

The clavicula, the collar bone, anatomically wraps around the chest and turns into the shoulder blades on the back, which can be useful to remind yourself when you try to localize it from the sides or the back, but from the front and above it is almost always visible and a very useful landmark to understand the location of the shoulder joints.

#4 If you look at your drawing, and see that you drew the spine as a straight line, in 90% of cases something went wrong, unless the model is really standing bolt upright and depicted exactly from the front or the back. Standing that straight is just unnatural and uncomfortable, and the moment the view is even slightly from the side, the evocative s-curve of the spine immediately becomes visible.
