Hey there!  I like how your style is developing along.   I would love to see some action shots of your characters, as you are pretty good with the portraits or non-moving (static) figures! Some helpful books for me for tips on anatomy and action poses (I sure needed a hand with moving my characters around more) were: Drawing and Painting Fantasy Figures by Finlay Cowan; How to Draw Comic Book Heroes and Villains by Christopher Hart -- also by Hart: Comic Book Bad Guys and Gals; How to Draw Great-Looking Comic Book Women... They are a little bit sexist, but still, great references as far as some basic anatomy and styles...

thanks i really need help with action drawings. I'm working on them though:D

For sure: something that might help you out might be to take a look at action shots in movies, magazines or online, and maybe sketch them out as quickly and lightly as possible. That way, at that moment, you don't worry about the details, you just concentrate on how the body moves. Later you could pick some of your favourite sketches, draw them bigger, and then add the details that matter with darker pencil or marker. Here are a few examples in these links -- http://www.drstandley.com/images/biceps4.bmp http://www.lifemodeler.com/LM_Manual/webimages/golfer1.gif http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~lzhao/Images/joints.jpg http://www.rit.edu/~nhh0365/images/dynamGestures/loGes1.gif
