I agree, Anna! It's really a strong, beautiful drawing.

It might be helpful to others if you explained, on this thread, some of the techniques you used to check your proportions. Are there certain basic places or major reference points that you measure, regardless of the position of the figure? Or do the reference points change depending on the position?

I have one minor critique--it's really not a big deal--the drawing of the side of the upright calf on our left seems slightly hesitant. But that might be a result of the technique you are using, i.e., it could look like that if it were initially drawn as a series of straight line segments. I think the gestural feeling of the calf is missing there.
