Studying gesture will almost immediately make a difference to your poses/ actions blue, always great to study it
Oh, I do, believe me, every day, all day. That's pretty much the majority of what I do when observing things is observe proportions and movement, actually, and it's the only reason why this attempt is at least halfway decent. This is my first time ever trying to draw a complex pose with movement, and I used no references or guides, and I don't have much figure practice. Therefore, barring the hand of course, that's why the proportions are correct, and the pose is exactly as I imagined it, but it still looks crappy. :/
