And thanks for the advice! ;0;/ Yeah idk anything about anatomy aha;;;;;;;; (HORRIBLE!)
I really want to do more anatomy studies... muscles just make no sense to me, no matter how much I look at diagrams of muscles and stuff...;;; plus I'm really bad at thinking in 3 dimensions... agh. orz I'm hoping to take a figure drawing class sometime soon because looking at and drawing real bodies seems to help me get closer to understanding how muscles actually work, but it's hard to find good reference pictures without things getting awkward;;;
The new brushes really look nice, it gives it an authentically water colored look to it. I really do love the style that you use, I wish I could do that kind of illustration better ;_; . Also I will give you one piece of constructive criticism with the pose. By and large you got everything just right but you have to remember on the lateral (outside) part of the hamstring (back of the thigh) you're going to have the Bicep Femoris connecting into the Fibula (lateral lower leg bone). What that means is in that pose that hamstring muscle should run over top the gastrocnemius (bulky lower leg muscle). It's a minor detail but anatomy is so important when drawing the body >.> Here is a really nice illustration of those muscles if you're interested:
