That sucks. From anecdotes I know there's still money to be made from coding, but it's more specialized work thus requiring investing more into it, and it takes luck to be in the right place when opportunity crops up.

Nice work, you seem to be humming along in the anatomy studies fine. But you seem to have hit a snag with that foreshortened pose you drew four times, right? It's likely the waist that's throwing you off, you're making it narrower and longer than in the other studies. The bottom edge of the ribcage too forward for the pelvis angle, and instead of taking the waist to the iliac crest you're placing a lot of emphasis on the buttocks, so it's flattening it a bit and creating a wasp-like figure. It absolutely can be a stylistic choice, but it doesn't seem to be since you put more of the crest into the other poses.




Here's a reference. Her stomach is absolutely flat due the strain of balancing on her hands, but it's a 3d scan you can turn around. Check out her pelvis bone and where the ribcage ends, how it still aligns to the pelvis. Depending on height, on women the crest can be a couple of fingers away from the bottom of the ribs when simply standing.
