I love that you're not afraid to try difficult poses! I also love that you seem to draw a lot! Unfortunately I'm not sure I can give you any specific tips for anatomy. That's just something that you have to study and there are plenty of resources for that. However, I think proportions are actually a higher priority than anatomy. This is because proportion mistakes are a lot easier to see than anatomy mistakes are. If you have good proportions anatomy will become much easier to learn as well. Proportions also have a lot of neat tricks you can use to remember them and learn them faster. People will say the body is 8 heads tall, but that's not very useful if the body isn't standing totally straight and in perspective. Here is a list of useful and rough measurements I always consider while drawing. (Artwod blocked me from posting these) Once you draw these measurements enough, it becomes second nature. You just have to internalise the distances between these things. When you're drawing an arm in a different pose, imagine if the elbow could reach down to the waist if it was at rest. Being an artist is all about visualising things, so practice visualising these measurements in 3d space and different perspectives. It would also benefit you to memorise the bony landmarks of the body! These are areas that visible above the skin and are useful landmarks when you begin practicing anatomy. Try to find these landmarks when studying poses and models. These bony landmarks will make it easier to draw bodies in perspective. For example, the asis points on the pelvis are at the same height, so if you draw a straight line between them, that line would dictate the direction and angle of the whole pelvis and would eventually converge on a vanishing point on the HL! The reference image is curtesy of proko! You can find a larger version if you google it. As for making it more dynamic, I thought some foreshortening and drawing the other arm would make it feel better. If you're not completely satisfied with a drawing, I recommend redrawing it on the next page. That's something I do and will continue to do until I'm content. Of course the most important thing is you have fun while drawing! If any of the advice I gave you ever makes you feel like drawing is a chore, stop doing it! Continue drawing what makes you happy. If studies take the fun out of drawing don't force yourself to do them. I hope this wasn't too overwhelming and helps! Edit: Artwod censors won't let me submit feedback
