I think the torso/chest is the main issue with this image. It's at a very odd angle for the pose you're trying to draw. I can't quite find the words to express what I'm trying to say (blargh, I is dumb), but I do think that everything else in the image isn't all that bad outside of the torso/chest.

Someone wanna redline this? I think some redlines would do Ratchet a lot of good.

Not bad, i see where you were going with this. the big thing i think, is you should have her posture be slumped more. the angle her torso and chest are at, she'd have to be holding her spine perfectly rigid. just relax the pose a bit, let the spine curve into a slump.

the other things that strike me as odd i've outlinned, the hand should be in a bit more or it wouldn't be supporting her, and the shoulders are a bit wide. I can see you tried to pull them up a bit to indicate she's supporting her weight on her arms and thats good! just don't make them so broad, female have much narrower shoulders.

finally the far leg is weird. I can see you plotted the angles out, but if we can see the lower abdomen and crotch this much, we should at least see more of the hips on the far side, possibly even the whole leg. its the angle shes sitting at, it should make the far leg above the near one, not below it.

but that's my two cents.

Thanks for the crit. :)

If I might, the correct approach should always begin with correct structure.

As such

However, it should be noted that by sticking to the OP's pose the pic has an utter lack of flow. There is an entire ruleset about how you could handle composition, anatomy and model posing so as to both compensate the weight of the model and of the figure relative to the canvas, to make the whole pic more "flowy", thus more attractive, readable and easier on the eye.

Well, I finally got around to drawing again, and... yeah, I still need quite a bit of help with this.

Just gonna bump this because I'd still like a bit of critique on the last pic, seeing as it's the last one I've finished.

She doesn't have any elbows. Her head is too far on the left side of her body and her tail could be a little more fluffier. Beyond that you wouldn't see her anus from that angle. You'd need to spread her cheeks apart to see it.

Thanks. I knew the anatomy on this was a bit off, I just couldn't really tell where. I'll try to redo it with those crits in mind. :)

Also, a new-ish picture, and the first I've done of a male character. His arm looks a tad weird, but do you folks see any other problems with it?

The most obvious thing to point out in all of your drawings is to stop cropping off the feet. It is a very distracting place to crop a figure. If you're doing a full figure drawing, be sure to include the figure in full.

This picture here falls into a common problem of inconsistent perspective. This is typically overlooked and just labeled as bad anatomy. The good news is that on the upper half of the body, most of the body parts share the same tilt as their bilateral counterpart, (except the shoulders).

The Perspective on the lower half is a bit flimsy. Sure, the ass can tilt, but the pelvis is stretched far form the rib cage. Try to fit your fist between your pelvis and ribcage. You probably can't, they're closer together than you think. You can get away with this pelvic tilt, just bring the pelvis closer to the ribs. Also, make sure that the perspective tilt is the same on both sides of the body as you go along.

As for the anatomy issues, my best advice for stuff like this is gather some photo references of real chicks. The more you observe actual bodies, the more familiar with anatomy you'll be. Never use other artwork as reference, it's simply not as informative as a real body.
