I was about to post this same comment. At this point I imagine you’re not getting anything out of this. Not learning anything further. It’s starting to feel like factory produced art, very lifeless and repetetive. Though if you plan to change all that after getting a years worth of these done first, then that’s cool. But I really think you passed the point of these giving you any more skill. The moment you feel comfortable with your drawings and can do them easily and right on the first go, that’s the moment you’re not getting any better.
Basically, do things with them that aren’t just guidelines and light sources: Have views and perspectives that aren’t so flat and artificial. Have characters interact with each other on slightly different planes so they don’t just use the same perspectives. Try a background if you want. You can keep it show accurate and without color if you want, but in the show they displays moments of natural activity to draw from that you aren’t really reaching in your drawings because you’re still just doing the simple and very samey figures.
The purpose of doing all of these is presumably to get better at anatomy/proportions/lighting/etc, but if you never apply them in circumstances that aren’t images like these I’m not sure I see the point. It’s not that these kinds of images are bad to do, but if you never attempt to advance beyond them, even for just one time, how are you going to improve?
After 307 days of guideline ponies, it’d probably be best for your artistic ability to take a stab at doing something more natural or complex. If it’s all build-up and no testing beyond that, it’s hard to see improvement happening.

More natural how?
