Sadly enough, I was pretty pleased with this the first time I sketched it. But anatomy is definitely not my strong point and I was hoping someone might like to help me fix some of the glaring errors.
My main issue is with her shoulders/arms. She's meant to be leaning slightly on the guy next to her (the green lines... >_> ). Her elbow should be resting on his shoulder, and so really her shoulder should be raised, but I can't seem to make it look right. So at the moment her upper arm's too short.
I also think her shoulders might be a bit narrow, since they're meant to be about two heads width, and at the moment I'm not sure they are.
Just ignore the hands. I'll work on them later. >_> Also the 'clothes' are just a rough sketch/idea. They're not actually going to be skin-tight, so ignore those as well.
Thanks in advance to anyone who feels like helping out! C:
Ah, I see what you mean. c: Thank you for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed. I'm not entirely sure how I should fix that. I keep tweaking the legs but I can't seem to get them quite right...
However, I took your advice about looking in the mirror, and fiddled about with the picture some more (trying to fix that annoying shoulder). I moved up the left half of the chest a bit, so hopefully now it looks more like she's leaning? Though I think the right arm's too short now. (Oops)
Thanks for the advice!
Anything else anyone might wish to add is still welcome though. c:

Editted because I forgot to add the URL. Clever me.
uh
This is probably my feeble attempt to help xD
When I only had my lines up, I felt like the person you were drawing was a little fat. (She seemed like a wrestler) It might be your style? So other things I noticed were Your shoulders are very hunched, and it seems like (on the origional lines) if you follow the lines, that she doesnt have a neck. (though I can see that she does) I don't really know what is going on at all with the pose, so I cant really be of much help with the arms or legs. Its just that your arms are waaay too short. Just compare how far they go down your body to the one you drew originally. With the legs, its the same as the torso. It's really big. Its almost like you drew only a circle for it, but thats not how our legs really are >_<. My suggestion - study the torso and upper body proportions (boobsboobsboobs too)
Pssh, that's not feeble. xD It's very helpful. Thank you!
Ah, yeah, I knew the arms were way too short but everytime I tried to fix them she ended up with monkey-length arms. cx Thanks for all the advice! c: It probably would have been smarter of me to choose a much simpler pose considering how I fail with full-body, but oh well. I'm sure it still counts as practice/improvement/something.
I'm definitely going to be tracking down some anatomy tutorials though.
Thanks! c:
