Real answer at the end.
Well, a lot of it is just natural progress over a year we're talking about a hundred or so drawings and each of them had different issues I had to tackle. In those old ones I was already focusing on "composition", supposedly all the lines were pointing at her hands holding a heart. That was while watching some videos and looking up composition examples on Google. That was already a year ago just so you get the idea, each drawing I've been doing is trying to apply something or mid drawing I have to consciously find a solution (or Google it)
I wouldn't say I'm a studying man, I'm more into researching. So I can't do something and I go into Google or YouTube or read opinions of other people on the matter. That a hundred times.
Of course I saw the occasional Sycra or Proko video and tried to read Hampton but just tried to absorb the pictures,didn't really study.
BUT this is what you want to know.
For that drawing I'm mostly using animation knowledge to make it less stiff. I studied the Animator's Survival Kit by Williams for like 4 or 5 days when I wanted to do a walking animation but the concepts kinda stuck with me. I mostly skimmed the book but you are bound to learn something. That book, and reading up people talking about the basics of animating and watching random animation videos and gifs made my brain think more about the flow of things so I can make things less stiff and simpler.
I'm not telling you to go animate though it's extremely time consuming and hard. Try to study composition and flow and gesture.
For my anatomy it was just practice. That's NOT a good method but I'm bad at studying. I keep drawing until I get better but it'd be much faster if you just drew people from reference pictures.

Heh. I should probably keep practicing with references but this is so much fun
