Hi!!! I'm new here hehe
Ahh, I'm currently struggling with a drawing right now, it's so hard to try and give sort of realistic proportions and looks to a fictional character, its the third time I try and it still doesn't look quite... good ?
Anyone got tips on that? 😭

Break the body into shapes, keep it loose, then use references to polish it up, just keep reworking until it meets ur vision, as close as possible ofc
Sometimes when I can’t get a character right, specially on complicated poses and/or weird angles, I draw the skeleton first with ribs and everything in a sketch layer, and then I smooth it out by drawing the skin on it. Overly complicated? Probably, but it works out for me heheh!
welcome!! gesture drawing and anatomy take a while to learn but it’s the easiest route to applying realism anywhere, really pays off
