anatomy help

[quaint wing]

Trying to draw this statue and I am kinda stuck on the chest and lower body

The best thing to do when youre stuck drawing something is either drawing the rough outline of it and then sculpting your way until the desired shape is drawn and second making simpler shapes out of the subject and then sculpting your way until its what you like
The first one is good when drawing the same pose over and over while the second way is good for understanding anatomy and shapes

try not to scratch your lines. it might be hard at first but you should really practice making your lines cleaner, doing single strokes instead of lots of little strokes

the first thing i do when im drawing a figure is find gesture line then the angle of the shoulders and hips

something like this

then id block in the torso and hips (sorry its a bit rough im speed running this

also because the figure is turned slightly you wont be able to see the entire shoulder ball on the left, in your drawing its full visable which makes it look front on

then id block in my main shapes utilising the negative space and also the proportions to other shapes

this is also when id erase my construction lines

then id clean up my lines and add details

The main thing is you should try building the character using the ribcage and pelvis bone for guidelines, here's this to help you out:
