The face was anime-ified in the last moments before the developer opted to go a cartoonish route. Maybe an attempt to save face for all the work I had done. Either way, it never got to the point where I was able to show him. Anime is what got me into this mess in the first place. Ages ago I bought a few how to draw anime books in an attempt to get better at anatomy. Unfortunately that was an awful choice I can never take back. XD
You're right about lack of understanding in legs and arms, it's always been my biggest concern.
As far as the 3d plane goes, perspective is my other problem. How unfortunate that some of the most important aspects of art are the ones I've yet to comprehend.
I was going to ask what book it is that serves as the artist's bible for anatomy but you beat me to it. I've heard that book so many times it's a wonder why I still don't own it.
