I hope this is useful to someone at some point
The main principle is to try to keep it simple.When you're starting out as an anthro artist / furry artist, it's often hard to know where you're going with your style, or even if you HAVE a style yet.
Imitate, reference, learn and iterate - Repeat. If you watch a style in an artist you admire and try a few of their techniques, you'll find a way of constructing the anatomy YOU like. If you reference from real life, you'll introduce levels of realism to your work. If you learn - well - you won't be likely to repeat mistakes, and if you iterate you'll engrain the lessons you learn.
Don't get flustered; K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple, Stupid
Please don't steal this work, it's intended as a guide.

At first I thought she was sitting (awkwardly) trying to figure out why her hands like that. Then it occurred to me. Is she in a fighting stance? If so: I'd spread the legs more, the one is too straight making the pose awkward the leg on right (my right at least) is higher.
Human body is a fickle.

You're very right, thanks for that. Having looked back at the sketch I do agree ^^ the stance isn't as strong as it should be. The intention was to emulate the Shotokan cat stance; but even then, the back leg should be further out and more in line with the back shoulder. At the moment she looks like she's been rotated to the left XD
Thanks for pointing that out to me, much appreciated ^_^!
