Nice drawing! Other than the previously mentioned balancing issues , I think her right arm (left on the picture) needs some work. The position of the arm makes the whole pose a bit unclear -- is she running or is she winding a strike? -- and makes it look like she's missing a shoulder. I think what would help you improve is to draw from life, if you don't already. Make a pose in front a mirror or take a picture of yourself posing and draw that. Also, feeling out the pose you're trying to draw can help a great deal. Put your hand on your shoulder and raise your arm, feel how your shoulder shifts then do the same with your chest etc. I think you already have some grasp of anatomy but it can be harder to draw a figure in motion when you're used to draw from anatomical books with models that are just standing there. For example, if you look at an athlete or a bodybuilder's chest when resting vs. when they're raising their arms, it's two drastically different shapes and it's very hard to draw unless you either use reference or have extensive knowledge of the human machine. I think you show potential, keep at it! :)

Hi Dennis. Good drawing! @Gannon Beck already pointed out, that it seems like she's running in two different directions. I would look in which direktions she's heading and where the weight and pressure lies in the pose. The (from our point of view) left shoulder pushes back to get a powerful motion. But the legs do not balance out the movement of the upper body and draw the weight of the hip to the right. Therefore it looks like she's losing balance and is falling over to the left side. I would look for a little more weight balance in the posture. Hope I could help. Keep up the good work :)

Hi Dennis, This looks pretty good. I'm not sure of your intent on the pose, so ignore this if it doesn't apply. Her head and torso are pointed in one direction and her pelvis and legs are pointed in another direction. I'm not sure if she is moving in one direction and trying to change directions, or if she is supposed to be moving in one direction or the other and the drawing isn't consistent. If you want her moving in one direction, working in out with a goo line of action and gesture would help. Again, I'm not sure what the intent was, so if that was helpful, use it, if not discard it.
