Hey! First of all, sorry for changing the pose. I didn’t realize the character was walking and not standing in a neutral pose hehe. But anyway, what I want to mention is less about the pose itself and more about the overall structure. I’d highly recommend focusing on learning proportions (which you already mentioned, of course) and learning how to draw the body in a simplified way—using mannequins made of boxes and cylinders. Learning to simplify the body like this will help you understand proportions much better because you won’t get distracted by more complex forms like muscles. It’ll also help you draw in perspective, draw the body from different angles, and especially improve your form manipulation skills. Learning the human body is honestly about 70% structure and simplification, and 30% muscle knowledge. Eventually, you’ll move on to more complex forms, but it’s important to start simple. As for proportions, there’s a simple system I like called the “rule of thirds.” Divide the upper body into three equal sections: - head to neck - neck to ribcage - abdomen to pelvis This helps keep proportions more consistent. The legs are usually about the same length as the upper body. The elbows generally align around the navel area, while the wrists tend to reach the lower pelvis area. This helps avoid drawing overly long arms. I’d also highly recommend checking out the Artwod roadmaps focused on drawing fundamentals and figure drawing (Intro to Drawing and Intro to Figure). Both can give you a really solid foundation. Hope you get the chance to try them out :) And again, sorry for changing the pose! Hope this helps!
