can’t figure out anatomy when posing characters.

[solar drift]

I have done 2D and 3D shapes and have learned perspective. Been following this anatomy tutorial: https://youtu.be/AmoW_LqwQ40?si=6vWRWNfGvAoRQo43

Trying to draw this in perspective and trying to pose it is kinda difficult and can’t seem to figure it out.

So far this is what I have managed to do. Not sure if I am doing this right or wrong.

I might just relearn anatomy using a course again

Maybe the issue is how I draw anatomy

Tried using ellipses instead of blocking it with cube like shapes and it looks waaaay nicer ngl my goal is also cartoonish female bodies btw

This is fun. I feel
It’ll be great for more dynamic poses

So a little thing to remember. The legs should be half of the total height. You have the torso being longer than the legs in a lot of these. Try and have it so the length of the legs is the same as from the crotch to the top of the head

I shall use this advice for my next drawing

Also remeber that the bottom of our torso is a v shape, and the legs go up and full the sides I can see in a few of yours you have that v but put and extra peice to flatten it, try to avoid that for now

Little example what what I mean

How do I make the arms more… arm like?
