What are your goals? Do you know how you might like to eventually draw--do you have an inspiration folder you look to regularly? (I might be able to offer more specific advice if you post an example.) What questions do you have about your own work?

You should be able to answer each of these questions. If you can't, spend some time introspecting.

You're trying more complex drawings--multi-character images and props, that's good. You're doing imaginative stuff, that's also good.
But right now I'm seeing anime without much design sense or unique vision. It looks like you've studied some anatomy, but the drawings suffer from a stiffness, a lack of line/shape confidence. The shapes are not very designed, they don't feel intentional. This is a natural part of the process of getting better, so don't worry and keep studying and drawing things you like. Your work isn't incompetent, I think you have the potential to get where you want to go, but where is that? YOU, before anyone else, need to know where you're going if you want to get there.

In essence, you haven't found your style yet. But how do you get there? You study artists you admire. I don't mean copying them necessarily (unless you want to), but rather, keep your favorite pieces on hand and try to understand how they achieved a certain effect. Then try to get a little of it into your work.

Example from 7ZEL. He isn't my favorite artist or anything, he just appears first in my inspiration folder so he'll do. The illustration is fairly simple, with simplified anatomy, but it's very much a designed, intentional piece that knows what it's about.
