hello joy, these are pretty good for 10 minutes

#

going forward i recommend trying to be more consistent with the shapes that you use

#

for example, always use a circle for the shoulders and draw the line dividing the torso and pelvis

#

also, i would start to use 3d shapes instead of 2d ones

#

for example, use cylinders for limbs and rectangular prisms for the body

#

getting used to 3d form will help you a lot especially when you start drawing in perspective

#

also, you can use negative spaces to check proportions when copying

#

like so

I suggest having more flowy lines for the limbs, and don't be afraid to bend the spine, and lastly, double check the proportions, a trick people use is the size of the head to measure the body, here's this for proportions:
