I think you did a great job with this one, the proportions are all good and the pose is interesting. I was watching a lecture by an animator today, and I learned something that really blew my mind, but in retrospect was really obvious. The reason why you use CSI lines is so that you preserve the energy of the gesture in the final drawing. When you clean up a sketch, things always get stiffer, and the way to combat that is to push simple shape dynamics further. This concept applies no matter how realistic you’re drawing. If you look at Rubens or Michelangelo drawings, they’re fully of life and movement, despite being very finished. I think, working with this in mind, could be a useful thing for you to think about.

That, plus all the usual stuff of making master copies, being mindful about proportions and form, and overall fundies. Good work, anon
