Help with Female Anatomy

[Shurai]

So I had an idea of a pose that I thought I'd like to draw but of course I've never drawn it before and didn't have a reference except what I imagined.

If someone could point me to a reference of this pose I would really appreciate it. Or help me with some direction!

Things I know I need help with:
1. How to intersect front and back of neck to head
2. how to end the shoulder blade and lead into the back
3. how to start into the him and create a natural curved butt
4. how to connect her left leg into her pelvis naturally (it looks like a it's twisting way too much at the hip, I ended up making two hips in search for a more pleasent transition into the thigh)
5. how to get the legs to naturally follow the direction of the lines, or correct the path I've layed out for them
6. Length and width of arms

ATTENTION!
I am not working on face, hair, hands, or feet yet.

Drawing over, or providing examples of correct proportions of these and whatever else you find incorrect would help tremedously!

Help appreciated!

use ref ref

the whole gesture is off. sit in the pose yourself. her top half is pointing in the opposite direction I would expected it to be.

My recommendation is to try the pose out yourself and take a photo if you can. You don't have to look exactly like your subject; you can still gets lots of great information from a reference like that, and you can try out different alternatives to find the pose you want.

At the moment, I think the biggest issue is the perspective, because we seem to looking at the torso from the side, but you've drawn the legs as if we're looking down on them. So either her leg is sticking up in the air, or she's lying down with her legs broken and twisting upwards. I have a feeling you're not aiming for either. So either her torso or her legs need to be foreshortened, depending on whether we're looking at her from the side or from above.


Here are some refs to illustrate my point:

from above: example one, example two

from the side: example three, example four, example five

and here are a couple of drawings using similar poses, which you might find helpful: example six

Thanks for the help, I'm still having difficulty though.

I drew out the room to help give an idea what perspective I'm looking for.

It's like right between on top, side, and front.

So either her torso or her legs need to be foreshortened, depending on whether we're looking at her from the side or from above.

I think more to the top, so her torso. Each time I try to shorten the torso she ends up looking thicker than I was go for. Just can't seem to get proportions correct when I attempt it. I'll trying again and post it when I get home tonight though.

Thanks again for the help!

Are you using a ref?

Her right hip is dislocated. Her left thigh is stunted and withered. Her boobs are travelling around a lot - hope they send a postcard. You're drawing an impossible pose, get over it and start again.
