Gorgeous figure drawing, Nadia! I really love the perspective on this piece: I can see her in the room, and the depiction of her and the background matchup. It's incredible that you worked on this from memory; kudos on that!
The only things I would say about the anatomy are that her waist (on the right: where the lifted leg should bunch up that area) and the right side of her bottom (saying that word makes me feel 60) feel a tad unnatural.
For her backside, the closest reference I could find is from good ol' senshistock: http://senshistock.deviantart.com/art/Stepping-Up-Back-Pose-Reference-for-Drawing-527329419 . I couldn't find one at an angle, but the droop on lower right of her butt cheek looks a tad exaggerated//stretched out when you compare it to the left.
Her waist right now is a shaded edge against her hip, and our bodies are much more likely to have that area smoothed out or folded over, depending on our size. I couldn't find a sfw reference of a woman of her stature bending over (no surprise), but here's what I could come up with from my head on short notice: (WARNING: this has as much nudity as the image I'm commenting on!) http://i.imgur.com/AlJSuuX.png . In that sketch, I have her waist and hip connected by smooth curves that I would shade about the same, and the bend isn't as severe.
I haven't seen your reference photo though! All bodies are different, and the above is just my experience with figure drawing. In any case, this is a great piece, and, if I did that from memory in pixels, I would be very pleased with myself! Great job, and I hope you do more figure drawings!
Thanks! That's probably the best comment I could get, honestly. This was done without a reference, so the anatomy was all by memory, which can either work well or be really messed up. So it's what I worried about the most
Nice anatomy (haha sounds dirty, but it's a comment on your skill). Good job
Thanks for the in depth critique! As I mentioned in a previous reply, the anatomy in this was done without reference (with exception to the feet, where I took photos of my own at that angle to get a better idea of the perspective) So I was certain there would be some anatomical "glitches". My biggest struggle was the shading, since I was only working with an imaginary light source.
And a huge thank you for taking the time to make a sketch! It means a lot that you would take the time to help me get better :) And yes, I do plan on working on some more figure drawing work
