Thank you! Two three months ago I read quite a lot of tutorials about lighting. I especially learned tons from this tutorial:|Improve your artwork by by Learning to See Light and Shadow. So my goal is to choose a lighting source in each drawing :3

Coolio. I like that with this sketch you set the lighting as well. Even though it's a sketch, just that simple lighting gesture made it work. Well however method you chose, I'm sure it will be brilliant. Keep it up.
Hey Moani! Thanks so much for all the great tips. Ah yes I already though that the upper arm should be longer than the reference had. I haven't changed it yet though. I'll see what I can do to make proper adjustments! It's extremely helpful - I always love constructive critism! I just added a new version of it - mainly improved coloring - I will work on the anatomy when I continue.
Hmm yes I always prefer to start with a huge brush and slowly work towards smaller brushes. Normally I don't sketch like that - I simply sketch with a huge ass paint brush but I'm trying to learn anatomy so that's where the lines come in handy (should've used geometry shapes and apparently a different reference!) I thought to go anime style - but i'm heading into a more realism style anyway :P
Super big thank you for the comment!! :D

heyo thanx for the sub. Nice looking start. This is exactly how I start my illustrations now. Maybe the only difference is that my sketches are in grey scale and only 300x300. This way the rough gesturing is hella quick and almost all mistakes are noticed. Because it's a small canvas, I get to sketch an "overall" picture than rather build it section by section.
I might want to add that with this pose, be careful with the the foreshortening of the arms. It seems that the arms in your reference seems a bit off anatomy wise. If you were to stretch your arms down the sides (while standing straight) you will see that your wrists/hands will line up where your groin is (ballpark). That reference seem to only give the arms a slight bend (the arms should look longer even with the the shoulders tilted and relaxed). Other than that. The hips are slightly off with the tilt. the shoulders are wide (flat side perspective) and the bewbs are flat (no definition).
can't wait to see a final product. Keep up the good work.
