these two feet drawings are quite nice. you're using shading rather than line, which i usually discourage, but i think you can see it's the subtlety of these drawings and the lightness of the value you used that give these drawings a finesse that the cross contour drawings don't have yet. I think this is because the cross contour lines are still too heavy, dark and not really moving (no evidence of you drawing from your shoulder). The cross-contour lines stop at the outlines you've drawn rather than tipping around the curve of the form and implying round 3D form.
The drawing of the reclining female model is a stronger line drawing--compare the variation you're getting in that one to the closer up studies.
