It's good .
As u see in reference, she's bent a little at her back slanting down. Yours from her arm down is straight 🧍‍♀️. An arm in that pose would push outwards and arms in general are bigger at the shoulder relative to the rest. Her head (in ur drawing) is ...seemingly too big compared to the body.its relatively bigger than the reference but then her body smaller than the reference.
Relative size matters and slight changes can move your art and take as much time looking at your reference as your drawing. Overall it has a good feel and I like . Keep going you got this.

Oh remember 8 head rule for anatomy

#

This differs on personal characterization but mostly like this.

Well 8 is a super hero body more normal is 7. learning to expand it can be tough. You’re asking how to fix it. Just put a new layer that is the reference layer outline that with a red or blue. The then use that as a base line. The head isn’t the same size as the reference. Use some shapes. I’ll kinda do some of it for you.

Does that help

# crude jungle Thank you so much 😭💗

Head counts don't work all of the time, visual comparisons and shapes (like what @untold tiger did for example) can work exceptionally well for drawing real and/or fictional characters. For example, take an image of a character and trace basic shapes over their limbs and other body parts, then compare.

Hierarchies also take an important role in art when it comes to comparing proportions, like how the the thigh controls the lower leg and the torso influences the movements of the upper arm. Take a look at the shapes on Doomguy for example, the visual comparisons are far easier to make out due to the simplicity of it all.

Even a breakdown of the goose from Untitled Goose Game could work for comparison as well.

I hope this helps to aid in your current dilemma

I like using big shapes and straight lines if I start a drawing 😄

but I think thats a difficult reference. if youre starting out I would recommed some simpler stuff with a clear Silhouette
