@Fasdik thank you very much for your dignified reply :)

although i agree that certain standards must be kept in order for a figure to be believable and aesthetically pleasing, i dont believe the nitpick specifically aimed at the over-drawing i did was necessary   (with the thighs, rib cage and crotch, though i admit the composition forced on me a slightly longer torso than i would usually use), when you consider what some other popular artists are doing with their proportions, such as hyung-tae kim, Nneka Myers, Ben Mauro, etc .. i wouldn't call any of their works abstract just because they have a small rib-cage or the thighs are too thick (not to mention variation in body-types; if you visit a life-drawing class or two, you'd be surprised with how rare the 'ideal' artistic figure is when compared to the rest of the world).

aside from that, i appreciate the recommendation, and it is no insult; the masters still struggle with anatomy everyday. however, i'd like to ask: where are the biggest faults in that particular draw-over? aside from:

-the length of the torso,

-the shape of the rib cage,

-the wrapping motion of the pectoralis major/deltoid relation, the length of the deltoid, the tucking under of (the pectoral/deltoid) the coracobrochialis/bicep segment, shape of the head of the triceps tucking under  latissimus dorsi

-right-arm foreshortening

-great trocanther foreshortening

-gesture (would probably require a less loyal paint-over)

-the general lazy lack of consideration for the integumentary system

-hands (oh god must study)

-ear

(the implication of the iliac crest was just to find my bearings, but i did it on the picture layer so i couldn't erase it).

id really like some insight, as it isn't often someone mentions my anatomy, so im glad i found someone who noticed mistakes ^^
