I came across miss Leilani Joys blog last night, while working ... the blog is really good and shows techniques the artist uses for stand alone art and for illustrations. the blogs have really good tips for artists and even by watching her process it is encouraging to see a real artist in there element.
she mentions some techniques for drawing full figures, as i have never really formally studied art this really helped me in understanding it, i had come across the idea of angel lines to denote the angel of hips and shoulders but had not considered it in a more established context.

Having looked at more and more illustrations or art i think my compositions really need a bit more content. i suppose i get to a point where i think if i add more i will ruin it! i think today i might experiment with backgrounds and content!
