Nice work, I like the shaded figure (digital?). Looking at the first one I think you could try using simpler longer lines instead of a collection of short marks that follow the outilne of the figure. Maybe do studies where you limit yourself in terms on number of lines (S & C curves and maybe straigh lines also?)? Try to think the line before you commit to it on paper. Hope this makes sense!

Thanks for the comment! They are both digital. The short marks are mostly because I am not used to doing figure sketches digitally. I usually do those on paper.

I like the raw shading, not everything has to be clean. Good hatching too. Maybe use more dynamic poses, the one one the left looks a bit stiff. There are standing poses with much more movement in gesture. But I dont know, it could also be a good exercise to use stiff poses and give them movement with hatching and so on
