Yes, you can see more flow evident in your later figures, so it was a good self-assessment and pivot :) I especially like the gesture of the woman turning around in the 5th image, I think you captured a nice rhythm by simplifying the leg and keeping that curve throughout her stance. Drawing through, simplifying, and connecting lines of the figure is a great way to capture rhythm, so you're on the right track. As for line quality, don't feel the need to have perfectly clean lines. Sketchy lines are ok and can help you develop a looser feel, just don't mistake sketchy for chicken-scratch/hairy lines. Sketchy lines are still confident and have flow to them, you just don't need to be tied down to any specific mark you make. Line quality warm-ups are also always good to keep in your drawing routine: https://www.proko.com/s/iu1Q https://www.proko.com/s/wdkN https://www.proko.com/s/zVPP And if you feel you are erasing too much, challenge yourself to a drawing session without any use of eraser at all. After the initial hurdle, you may realize how little it may actually be needed.
