Good work. I'm glad that my anatomy tutorial could be of use for you. I am going to give you some additional advice to help you along the way.

First, I noticed that you enjoy drawing anime. This is great as anime was the window that opened the door of artistic interest for many people including myself. However one thing I advise all who are starting off is that you can improve your anime drawings immensely by drawing less of it and more from direct observation. This does not mean stop, it just means supplement all your drawings with ones from direct observations. This is advice straight from the mouth of Hayao Miyazaki, who says (paraphrasing) that the best way of portraying characters is through directly observing humans and the greatest decline in anime occurred when it was run by those who do not observe other humans.

So what I suggest is that for every personal image your draw, break out an anatomy book, look up an image of any human and try to draw it from observation. Little by little you will start to notice where each muscle goes, where the light hits certain forms, how the human mass lays on its skeleton, and you will continue to improve more and more.

Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more from you.
