Question on accuracy

Just finished the anatomy course so I’m still a little weak on feet but I’m going to work on full body poses on top of further anatomy studies, how does everything here look, this is not from imagination but I want to see how people interpret the anatomy without reference, is it believable as well as proportions, thanks again!
Hey, Matthew
It has a good expression, the style is clean and nice, but there's a few points that need improvements concerning proportions.
Proportions of the arm are weird. Hands feel too big and one arm is bigger than the other . Upper legs feel shorter and the muscles are connecting in a weird way (leg to torso) . Also there's a tangent in the legs that confuses which leg is in front. Pinched side of the torso doesn't feel compressed enough. Head is connected in a weird way to the neck. And a compositional note the waist is way too close to the border for my taste. It's creating a lot of tension in that area that I don't think is intentional.
In general, I think you have a good knowledge of anatomy, but you need to practice more with real life poses so you can get a better understanding of how muscles move, deform, compress etc. Also notice that I mostly say that stuff "feels" wrong. That's because anatomy is secondary to gesture, structure and design. You can get away with anatomically incorrect drawings if they "feel" right. And that's something that comes with practice and experience.
So keep drawing.
Best regards
