The majority of the issue is a lack of understanding of anatomy. You have the legs being ovals and joints being super thin. Arms are basically noodles. You also have proportions completely wrong. Look into learning anatomy. You may be wanting to learn a specific style but i promise learning realistic anatomy is important in order to draw characters in a stylized way

that's why full body is expensive when doing commission, more stuff to draw, proportions, balance etc.

@mint isle This photo doesn't show much of the shapes and proportions of the legs, so it makes it much more difficult to draw. If you're trying to learn anatomy, try finding refrences that show the limbs and muscles of the people. I'm actually starting this small art class for beginners, let me know if you're interested. I can really help you out.

#

Actually it IS lack of practice.

#

Anybody know a good practice or study technique for anatomy?

#

Random question but how much distance should i put between the torso and pelvis box?

Uh idk how to answer that. Its kinda from trial and error. But the rib cage definitely needs to be smaller
