idk if more anatomy detail is the fix here. maybe block the ribcage as a simple box and the pelvis as a smaller one, then check how much they twist against each other. the waist gap will read on its own once those two line up

I’m trying to sketch an anime boy and the torso proportions keep looking strange. The chest and waist dont feel connected. I think my anatomy and structure need work. Using digital art here, would appreciate some critique

skin tone

I can't seem to get the skin tone right. I'd like to play around more with the shadows and highlights by mixing in a little more color—not just black and white—but I have no idea how to do that.
