Hi there, My example is not the best, however I think if you practice the mannequin and push soe gesture it should help with a more readable and dynamic pose.

Hey! You've already received some great feedback, so I wanted to illustrate a bit of what others have been talking about. :) Try not to think so much about the contour of the figure and focus more on the flow of the pose. Approaching it this way will help give your poses—and, by extension, your characters—more personality. I'd also recommend looking at gesture drawings used in animation and paying attention to how artists use "I," "C," and "S" curves to communicate movement throughout the body. Hope this helps!

Hi, thank you for sharing your art. You seem to know how to indicate some structure using lines, which makes your figures believable for me. You are also really good with simplifying, which is not easy. I am not an expert, but to improve I think you could benefit from using more "rythm" lines and a line of action. Rhythm lines can connect certain parts of the body together to indicate more movement (see Proko video on Gesture). You could also start with major forms like the ribcage (simplified as an egg shape) and pelvis (simplified as an egg lying on its side). I would even advise studying contrapposto more (I think you have to some extent). I hope this helps.
it does help, thank you
