Could someone please check my work?

Hi!
I am finally trying to take a serious stab at this course. I am also using Tom Fox's Book, Anatomy For Artists, Drawing Form and Pose to help me figure out some of the constructions because I found that cross referencing actually helps me the best.
BUT I need someone to check my work. I draw the model in black first, then I draw over the model in red to make sure that I am accurate (since I am doing this digitally I slide my draw over to the side so you can see it).
Because I am working from my limited knowledge I am worried that I am just cementing my mistakes in my head. Especially with the last figure I did- where the woman is totally bent over (the one with the multi colored boxes I drew on the side to try to figure it out) I feel like I totally missed the mark on that one. If anyone has anytime to look these over and point out my errors, I will be your devoted fan forever!
Thank you!

Hi again! I did a few more of these but still feel confused about some of the figures, especially when they are bending forward. I am struggling to understand when we see the top or bottom planes of the pelvis. I would love your thoughts! Thanks so much!
Hey Jeanne,
Sorry this is confusing to you, it might be my fault, so I want to clear this up for you.
The pelvis, when standing and in most neutral poses tilts down. But, in certain poses it can also tilt up and move in all kinds of directions based on how flexible the spine is. The easiest way to figure it out is to look for the "corners" of the pelvis, this will help you see how the pelvis is tilting.
I included a sketch to show you what I mean, I really hope it helps clear up the confusion for you :)
Hey Jeanne Bowman,
I looked at your drawings, and I noticed that you are doing pretty good. There are a few things that I think you could do to make these more accurate.
Mostly, you need to remember that the torso tilts back and the pelvis tilts down. This means we will see the bottom of the ribcage and the top and bottom of the pelvis. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)
Thank you! I will keep this in mind for my next round of practice! I appreciate it!
