I really do need to get a book or something for reference when drawing. I notice I often draw the lines for the arms and legs very straight rather than curving like the human body should be. Also, knowing where all the muscles are and how they look from different angles and in different positions would be great. I'll check out the book when I get the chance and flick through it to see if it's something that will suit me. I have looked before for anatomy books for drawing (and for my anime figure sculpting), but many are so complex and some I simply don't know if I would end up using them or not. I guess for me a good reference book would be one that has lots of pictures of people in various poses and something to emphasize the important parts. Hi Esz,

Really hard to pinpoint but I think it might be that the top of his leg needs to overlap a *tiny* bit...just near the crotch (teehee). Or emphasize the knee and calf a bit more to show the dynamic of the stretched out muscles. I bought this book a while ago and it's absolutely BRILLIANT for showing muscle structure and super-dynamic poses. The drawings in it are insane. Really good deal at The Book Depository too cos I paid $60 for it in Borders (eep) http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/book/9780823015528/Dynamic-Anatomy I like it :-D The only thing I can see is that there is something that needs fixing on the stretched out leg.
