Hi again.

I am trying to expand my knowledge and am working on my anatomy and getting the hang of using skeletons to plan out my drawings. I seem to have an issue with hips and legs, they tend to be big and just weird. This particular image I have posted because the pose seems unatural to me, and was wondering if anyone could throw some info my way as to how to improve it. Thanks.

the legs are a bit...bulky and try to define them more (I noticed this on the characters right leg where you can't really recognise muscles). the bulkiness is what I think makes them just look too big and short, cause the proportions are good, but they seem like they belong to a male
the shoulders should be a bit looser (make a a slightly bigger angle between the neck and the shoulders - also to seem more feminite), although this is not so important
also character's right hand should be a bit more curvier (it's not so much anatomicaly correct but they use that effect in comic books)
exept those minor alterations you've got a good sense for the shapes. but it's not a usual pose for a character, it lacks a bit of (over)expression, that's what you should try doing (if you're going for that marvel actionhero feel)

it's what I noticed, but I'm really just learning to draw myself, so I just hope that helps

the head doesn't look feminine, it is not just the angle, it is the shape as well. and the shape of the way she is falling feels to me like she's tangled up in her legs and the landing would be very painfull. just my thoughts. cheers.
