sorry http://www.posemaniacs.com/?p=636 there you go :crazy:

Ok, now that I see what your trying to draw it doesn't look so incredibly weird.
The basic outline is pretty close, though a bit jagged.
If you smooth out the edges and add some detail it would help.

thats what i have so far right now ;D
this is my biggest piece of work so its not great since its new,most of my work is 100X100 or below =[

Well pixelart isn't meant to be big unless you are able to apply a good pixel standard across the whole thing.
In other words you would probably do this better if it was smaller.
Maybe 2x if not 3x smaller.

I recommend you get the basic lines and highlights down before you jump right in to detailed pixeling.
For instance:

Once you get to that point, you can clean it up and start doing the detail.

I can tell the silhouette was traced over a screen-still from that reference you gave. (just tested it). which makes a lot of sense why you have a lot of nice forms in there, but you have no clue what they are or what to do with them once you've started rendering it. if you really want to learn anatomy, dont mindlessly trace - even if it's only the silhouette form.

hmmm this seems kinda reminiscent of Splat Pixel, inspired by him perhaps? Not blaming you of ripping or anything, just random musings. Anywho, I think the best step for anatomy,is to pull out your trusty pencil and sketch, and buy yourself a nice anatomy book. I always find it's easier to learn basics in art, with a tool in your hand other than a mouse, but that could be just me. As of now, your shading seems a little pillowy, and there is also a relatively small range of values. I would suggest introducing adding some more drastic darker tones, a dark brown, or even black. This can help make the piece more dynamic and interesting.
