It's a bit hard to comment on it as it's not really finished. Keep working on it and keep us posted on the progress. :)

A nice start. Good form, but I'm not sure if her left ankle is too short, or just tipped sidways and is foreshortened. Keep going.

The loogs look a little short to me, but not really to the detriment of the pic. The pose is good though. The more you get away from someone "Just standing there" the more your art will evolve. The arms breasts and torso all look natural and correct.
When you are sketching to learn dont worry about finished product. Not at this stage anyway. Let your hand run free using light lines and as you see the ones that look right darken them a little. Dont even bother with erasing. See where your circles for legs and arms are too big, too small, too long, too short ... and notice where they are right too. Make the sketches quick too. don't spend 45 minutes trying to get the lines just right. Sketch for 2 minutes, the start again somewhere else on the page. Alter angles, change position of lines, on a two minute sketch failed efforts that look liek crap only cost you ... two minutes! Not much loss. But those 2 minute sketches will build your ability to "think on paper" which in my mind is one of the key factors to creating your own art. The more you sketch this way the more natural and comfortable your drawings will be to draw and they will look more natural and comforatable.
Anyway, as usual I Jabbed to long ... (pun always intended) ... so I hope my idea of what would be helpful is useful to you.

these are done from live drawing or photographs? they are well done. with the proper shading i think the first picture's foot that looks short will have the foot resting on the outer edge rather than flat yes?
i admire your ability to transfer real refernces to near true form on paper, that is a skill ihave never mastered. i guess my style is to rough to be done that way. keep at it my friend, and you will get there.
