so i'm working on this old man, and i want to move to the next step of detailing and creating poses.  But i want to make sure i get my anatomy right and forms right. it looks okay to me, if anyone can see something i don't i will  like to hear it. thanks!

Hi,first of all - this is a good start. I don't profiicient in anatomy, but i think calf muscle is too long. also backside of legs in knee area need some touches. And also add more wrinkles, special on back and butt) Make skin more saggy, but it more details than anatomy. Good luck, and please say something about my fist post here - i woud be glad so much to recieve feedback too)

We cannot read your mind, so it will help strangers on the internet to understand where you're coming from if you post the references you're using.

@Brian "Panda" Choi
like i said earlier, it's not just one reference i used, there are over twenty, the idea of me posting this, is for those who have a ground understanding of anatomy to see if my character anatomy is good or needs more work. it's kinda of an anatomy study

@carvuliero thanks for your tip, i made  a few adjustments based on your corrections

decided to start detailing the face, and breaking up symmetry

You ever try taking a screenshot of a several smaller photos, like 20+?  That might be a way to do it.  That's what I do from my PureRef board.
