Question about your process: do you do a gesture drawing before you start building the 3d form of the body? I ask because your form feels stiff where the reference is not. It might be helpful to do more gesture drawings before you start building the form because it will give you a better sense of where the body should bend.

Did an exercise on construction. Happy for any feedback and improvements! Especially on perspective & form.

-so i think the problem is that the pose look too stiff and does not have the natural flow, you can try adding those construction you did on top of my gesture sketch to understand it. -and as @pifalo said you can use cubes for ribcage ---If you want to learn about gesture, you should watch gesture drawing lecture by Michael Hampton.its free on youtube and more on his channel. - he is the guy if you want to learn about gesture and you should also read his book "figure drawing design and invention"

It might help if you use boxes for the torso and pelvis, it will make it easier to put them in perspective. Also, pay attention to the tilt of the ribcage and pelvis.

I did not do a gesture drawing first, no. Thank you! I will try that.
