Does my stylization look like bad anatomy ?

Yeah does it look more like stylization or like I just don't know anatomy ?

My traditional art is more sketches, practise,, but I think it shows my anatomy more. The fourth piece clearly has a too long arm xd just ignore that. I'm looking for more feedback about faces and heads. I think I'm doing pretty well but I'd love to get second opinions.

Edit: Only really asking about this because previously, people were telling me my art comes off as me having little understanding of anatomy, because I had more of a realistic style. Since my arts developed, I want to know if I'm doing the thing where I excuse bad anatomy with stylisation, and if some mistakes remain. I'd also like some general direction on how to improve, because I know I'm not perfect, but its hard to tell a lot of the time,, like some of my art I literally cant see anything big wrong. What I can tell I struggle with is lips with different angles, sizing of hands, eyes some of the time, and making hair look 3d. I'd prefer more tips on how to improve rather than just saying what's up with it now, since I've got more information on that now. Thanks !!

one of my friends makes kinda terrible art and i cant do anything about it !!

i knowww, not my circus not my monkeys but it genuinely infuriates me !! she makes moe art, in a sort of 'low quality' style. her drawings are the FLATTEST thing i've ever seen, zero variety in values, zero anatomy practise, and she had the audacity to comment on MY art and say MY anatomy is bad !!!!! she's started liking my art more now since i've improved, so she doesn't really hate anymore, which is good. her personality is also horrible. she uses slurs as comedy, because she's not 'mature' enough yet to stop doing that. so if i give her art or music below like 6/10 she calls me nga and ghosts me. like i know it's not that serious but her art is genuinely bad. not even hating on the moe artstyle. she says her art's supposed to look bad, but when she says that, she means low quality. like 2000s low quality or something. but it looks low quality as in her anatomy is bad, values, lineart a lot of the time. i won't show an example because that's mean. she'll just never listen to me if i give her honest advice. and what infuriates me more is she gets commissions and she gets fans !!! she's just always been more popular in our little niche of the internet because everyone finds slurs funny now, so when she posts art she's got her followers liking and leaving nice comments, which is good. she's gotten robux commissions too. i see the vision of her artstyle and this rage is coming from good because i just want her art to get better, i wanna see her improve,, but she's not taking advice and she's not trying to improve. i guess over time she'll improve, naturally, but like she's not. whenever she critiques my art it's like the blind leading the blind like come on. i considered making a burner account just to bully her into improvement but thats like really mean but i just want to get the message to her !!!!!!!!!!

How do I improve the lips ?

No reference (that was a mistake)

Definitely something up with the lips and jawlines, I just don't know how to fix them. By the time I noticed something was wrong I was almost done so yeah

I'm trying to go for a semi-realistic look, this was just a quick drawing

quite old drawing, but why does this look so flat ?

rough reference on next slide

old, as said in title,, but i haven't drawn anything like this since. the left hands supposed to be palm side up also. i tried pushing my values, but i concluded that there wouldn't be much variety in values if the lighting's straight above ? also probably had to add more hues. it just lacks depth. maybe the real background didn't help honestly. but i still experience this in some of my newer art. how do i give my art more depth ?
