Try to make the leading edge very small; this will help with the size of your figures. It seems like you are struggling with space on the canvas. Focus more on storytelling than on mass. It’s more important to get the position of the feet on the floor right than to draw two lines just to “close” the shape of the leg, for example. 

You’re creating good shapes — they feel asymmetrical and have a nice sense of rhythm. You could push the asymmetry a bit further to make it clearer. Exaggeration helps tell a stronger story in the pose.

These are great! I love that you added value in the longer time poses. Something that helps me on quicker poses(30 secs) is to remember C.S.I.(Curves, S lines and straight lines) when making my lines. That way I don't get bogged down in the bumps and lines of the limbs when I'm focusing on the gesture. Good stuff you are killing it.
