It is a bit of a boring pose, but I don't mind. Not many models do long poses standing up, so I am grateful. Drawing a standing pose is harder than a sitting one, I find. It's easier to let the proportions go absurd, a sitting person has so much more angels and communicating body parts, if you solve the puzzle, the proportions can't be too far off. Standing up however, there is no way to compare the lengths of arms and legs, or the size of the head. I drew her breasts a little too small. Not that they were very big in the first place. In case you notice she is a little off balance, you're right. She was leaning on a pole. I hate drawing models with poles. The pole was in her left hand, that I didn't draw. It was hardly visible anyway.

(Her legs are short. Much shorter then yours. And your head is much bigger too!)

I know very little about drawing so they are all masterpieces to me...
