Hey! I'm currently working on this piece, I feel it is going good but I think it would be cool if I can get some suggestions or opinions from you to maybe find a way to improve it. It's still on a sketch phase but any advice regarding the construction, proportions, pose, even anatomy or any other aspect you think I could improve will be fine. Thanks!

Looks good. Maybe the right arm looks a little out of place in relation to the shoulder. Too high up behind the head.
Here, some reference pose

Here you go. Hope this helps. Check other critiques for pose and gesture tuts.

(EDIT: I made this when I was really tired and I shouldn't have. I have added an addendum below it. The hips and legs bothered me when I looked at them after some rest. So I drew the bones to figure out what was going wrong. I really had to do some figure invention to find what was going on. Sorry for going in too deep I just dont want to give people bad information. As you read this one, Just know that I am correcting what I am showing you about the femurs and legs. I am focusing on anatomy critiques to solve my own problems there.

First, the legs seem mis-informed in regards to depth or proportional length. I went in trying to solve the issue of adding depth to (her) right leg, and where the foot was planted, because it seemed to be more forward facing.

Second, where I went wrong was assuming that you had the hips in a specific area, which would change the legs you had entirely, so I tried to show you where the legs would go with that pose.

Lastly, what I should have done was find a way to give you the pose you wanted, the one you think is correct here, with better anatomical knowledge. Thanks for this opportunity, I will be more focused on this aspect the next time I help someone.)

(EDIT: I made this demo to share with people as an example of gesture and how to apply it in a short pose format. I thought I would share it here so you could have it.)

I had something PO ready but to be honest @brohawx already did an amazing job at providing the info needed.
The only tip I would give is, if you can take a photo of yourself in the pose you would like to draw, always try to do that. You are your own valuable resource.

Wow @brohawx this analysis is amazing, you provided so much information and I want to go and apply it to the piece. I missed so many details and you helped me to see all my mistakes. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this, it was really helpful.

Hey! Well, I did some corrections based on all the feedback received, I hope I've had some improvement, I'm still trying to figure out some things but I feel all the comments were helpful. These are the changes I've made so far, I'm still working on the piece. Thanks!

Its definitely improved! Nice job!

yeah it looks a lot better now.
