Hello! Great work--I see from your previous attempt at this pose that you've gotten better at observing the figure as 2D shapes, especially when tackling the foreshortened arms, as well as practicing tighter line quality. I think an easy and common occurrence after focusing on solidifying the structure of a figure is losing the original gesture and rhythm of the pose. In this case, the original model's twist at the torso is what first captures my attention, and I believe it could be further emphasized in your drawing. An easy way to really get a feel for what needs to be exaggerated/focused on in a pose's gesture is to do it yourself. Strike the pose and pay attention to the placement of weight and the direction of the motion. Remember to use your improving knowledge on shapes and form to build on top of the gesture rather than against it. And though it is almost unavoidable to lose some of the original rhythm when adding structure, you can further exaggerate the gesture the earlier stages to account for that. I hope this helps you with your future work. I can tell you've been putting a lot of effort into your improvement and it's certainly paying off, so thank you for sharing!
