OK, I see you are currently working mostly at proportions and perspective of the figure, and you are doing that quite fine.

But anytime soon, you should really put some time into improving your line quality.

Put two points on the paper, make sure neither your wrist nor your elbow lies down on a surface, then "shadow" a line between those two points by moving your hand along the line with the pencil almost touching the paper, until you see the line, then put down the pencil and draw the line in one fluid stroke, exactly straight, and exactly starting and ending at the two points. Practice it, only focusing on controlling your movement perfectly.

Then practice drawing (big) circles freehand, so you get a feeling for drawing curves. Repeat every circle twice, but in one movement, without stopping.

Spend every day about 10 minutes as warm-up, just drawing clean long lines and big circles.

Right now, your lines look, like you are chicken-scratching every line with lots of tiny strokes from your wrist or your fingertips, and that won't go away by itself. unless you practice using shoulder, elbow AND wrist to draw clean long lines and curves.

You should start that practice as soon as possible, as right now, you are practicing awful lines while you are focusing on other goals, and the longer you do that, the more work it will take later on to readjust to drawing clean lines.

Try to always use clean lines when drawing, find the big lines in your reference, don't cobble together tiny strokes.

Hello Jolyne, and welcome back. Nicest job on your finest display of your forces over forms and details of your figures. Way to go, but I've got one smallest request: I love the control and understanding of your relationships, or proportions and angles, but I'm still not getting enough of the strongest forces and negative and positive spaces in your poses. How would you like to please loosen up your line confidence and clarity with 10 minutes of 5 minute blind contours of figure drawings?

As a result, your poses can and will become the least hairiest but the most energetic, vitalest, but the most gutsiest in the cleanliness of the lines. So for most details, kindly please take this suggestion with the biggest grain of salt, by studying some Daumiers online and physical art books from your library. Good luck to you.
