nice stuff!
good, design and posing.
only crits are her right side.
the leg looks a bit rigid and not so
accurate drawn as the other one.
also her right hand is a bit off.
keep it up!

A good place I find to draw and study the female form is in pornography magazines. Really though, I'm not trying to be crude. Check some out, or if you can't get them, other magazines that are more directed towards women also have many good pictures to study from (Cosmopolitan, Chatelaine etc).

Also, on the subject of your picture. Before you even begin drawing your figure, you should try out many, many different thumbnail sized poses, to find a good, natural-looking, compositionally correct setup.
If you do already... I apologize.

Back in the 70s, I found Playboy a good source, as the women looked real, and were posed more tastefully than Penthouse and Hustler. Today... well, even Playboy has devolved to mostly poofy-haired bimbos with fake breasts the size of watermelons, and dreadfully contrived poses.

Today, a good source are newsgroups. Keeping Sturgeon's Law in mind, 90% are crap, but some are good. I cannot see why anyone would join a naughty website at $30+ a month when there is everything and anything for free on the newsgroups. Most will be gross, but there are some that are toned down enough for drawing from. In particular:
alt.binaries.images.suntan

Yes, you will still run into a number of gynocology shots, so pick and choose wisely.

Also, stating the obvious, be aware of copyright issues. If it is for self-study, don't worry. If it is to be published or shown, know how to alter and adapt your images enough to avoid plagerism. For myself, I tend to make a moderately tight sketch on my own, then look up elements that are giving me trouble, such as a bent elbow that just isn't working.

always draw lips on women... it helps make them much more lady like.

[Mag82]

heh and I thought drawing from pornography was a bad thing

[Omi]

I guess not, Mag. So I'll post some... drawing resources as well:
xaviersite.com/babes/
supermodelforever.com

Rather mild and I like their poses. Try just copying them for a while, that might help. That's what I did (not that I'm good yet)
