Good stuff Tango_Mango - I reckon all the stuff you are doing here will help your anatomy art improve nicely. Have you seen Proko's anatomy course on his YouTube channel? Really high quality teaching on anatomy for free!

Thanks for the resource suggestion! I do feel like I need some anatomy studies to flesh out where everything goes. Even simple gestures sometimes end up with weird proportions because I'm not 100% sure where the pelvis sould go in relation to the ribcage. It's definitely on my list to tackle.

A good way to keep relatively accurate proportions in the torso is by thinking of it as two equal parts. The first part (green) represents the ribcage, forming the waistline. Dividing the rest in half again gives us the entire waist area (blue) and the pelvis (yellow). This makes it easier to achieve good proportions without having to count heads.
Another thing is contour lines—they make it possible to indicate direction in three-dimensional space without much effort.

Very cool explanation. thank you, definitely helpful.
