Help with anatomy is appreciated! I know the girl's chest is off...I'll fix it...and the guy needs a lot of help.

Well, for the girl I'd raise the left boob, and add more curves to the arms.

As for the guy, I'd make his shoulders a bit wider and angle his hand downward more, cause twisting your wrist that far hurts after a while.

I also think they both have low crotches, but I can't say for sure not seeing the full body.

I could redline if you want to better explain.

Good call, the crotches were bugging me...I can never get the placement right on those.

They can be pretty hard. I suggest doing a full body reference and making a note of chest-to-crotch distance or something.

As far as crotches go, I think the placement is about one head-length below the bellybutton, and the chest/boobs are about one head-length above the bellybutton. 3nodding

I'd say they're wearing their pants too high, and the crotches could even be lower (if you want realistic proportions). If the arm is limp and they have their hand in a fist, the crotch would start close to the end of the fist, I think (maybe a bit higher). The arms actually seem kinda long, even if you were going for realistic proportions - it doesn't really match the body (more-so on the guy). On the guy, you could make the arms shorter to match the body more, and maybe make the neck thinner (if you don't want entirely realistic proportions).

I did a redline for you since I suck at explaining things. I hope it helps!

Though the left arm (our right) seems a lot longer than the other.

Thanks, Sacch! That is really helpful.


At least I got her head right, even if the arms and the chest weren't so good.

No problem. c: You're really off to a good start. User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. And I'm not sugarcoating either. XD
