Any feedback or paint-overs greatly appreciated. I would like to get the anatomy polished up before shading. I'm trying to get the two people to gracefully grasp each other. Thanks in advance.

Wasn't happy with the first sketch at the right so I did a second one on the left....

I actually like the female figure on the right better. The weight of her upper body is more balanced. But, I like the male figure from the left. >_>

I'd take the right female figure and turn her right leg outwards a bit more. Then you can lower the point where her left thigh meets her hip. The pose would look more natural that way, I think. The left male figure is well proportioned but I think adding more contrapposto will help. Try arching his back more and shifting more of his weight onto his left leg.

Yosul_Gongju: Okay I swaped both the figures. I turn her right leg outwards a bit more and dropped her left thigh a bit. I also arched the males back. Thanks for your helpful comments!

Edit:

Actually this taking way to long, I'm just going to go do some William Bouguereau Studies instead...Thanks
