These are definitely looking better, and you're making good progress in applying the points I raised previously.
There's just one thing I want to draw your attention to - when building up additional masses, remember that any kind of short corner can only occur in response to that mass pressing against something else, [as explained in this diagram](). You frequently end up including arbitrary corners in your masses, but with no actual cause for them. This gives the impression that there might be another form pressing against them, but that they haven't been entirely thought out, which can undermine the solidity of the construction.
As shown here, if there's no clearly defined form to butt up against, don't use sharp corners. Use smooth transitions instead. And when it comes to masses along the back, you'll often have opportunities to bring those masses down along the sides so they can wrap around things like the thigh or shoulder masses, which give us a good opportunity to further integrate these forms, making them feel more solid and grounded.
Anyway, I'll go ahead and mark this lesson as complete.
Next Steps:
Move onto the 250 cylinder challenge, which is a prerequisite for lesson 6.
