Hey, @Anubhav Saini, thanks for reaching out once again!
. Yes, the lines used to describe anatomical traits seem to be coherent with their underlying structures as far as I see it. However, I’m noticing some parts of the anatomy don’t look very accurate with what should be the actual bone and muscle structure of the human body - but they do seem to follow the structure of the basic forms you designed in your undersketches;
. Yes, I’d say the structure is in tune with the gesture of the pose in all of these sketches;
. I’ve already shared some thoughts on shape design in the other post you tagged me, so you might want to check it out: https://www.proko.com/s/ugLv (please let me know if any doubts pop up regarding my comments there).
On an additional note, the simplified mannequin on the top right corner of image 4 - I really, really like it! The line quality could perhaps be a bit more confident, but the overall sense of structure, form and perspective look pretty solid to me.
I think that the mannequin with simple forms actually looks better than its versions with more anatomical detail (on the bottom of image 4 and on image 5) - which leads me to think that your skills on the basics of figure drawing are strong enough, but, perhaps, something you might wanna invest more at this point is in deepening your knowledge on anatomy, does this make sense to you? I looked in your profile and I noticed you’re not currently enrolled with the Anatomy of the Human Body course - have you considered taking it? Just an idea.
Let me know if I can help you any further.
Best regards!

It’s great that you’re thinking about shape design at this stage. You seem to be on the right track but I think you need a bit more mileage. But specific critiques on these:
Your thighs tend to get long. The top side of the thigh (quad) can be a slight curve. That’ll make the thigh shape look more pleasing.
The chest is too short in both of the foreshortened poses. Notice how much longer the chest is in the photo compared to your drawing.
