If you wanna level up your pose drawing, I cant recommend going to a life drawing class highly enough! Alternatively, there are some great photo packs online, like AdorkaStock (with a little tool even!) https://www.adorkastock.com/sketch/
I love life drawing classes, but it’s been a while. I’m resisting the urge to use photo reference, but my next shot at this (based on the original posing) is a bit more “construction-y” building the musculature more realistically.
Oooh, I like this one better! More dynamic! I think my fav exercise from my life drawing class is doing 10 poses in 10min, so it really forces you to do gesture drawings. Imo i think the construction works just fine here, but you could push the dynamism even *more*.
Using reference is ofc the gold standard but eeeeh. eeeeeeeh. sometimes you wanna draw a very specific pose no ones gonna do reference for, and it's not worth changing the idea just to be able to use a reference photo, imo. that or get your buds to assist you in a photoshoot.
