Hi there!
This was my first attempt at a more dynamic actiony pose and I’m happy for the most part with out is turned out!
Buut it’s the lower half of her body that’s throwing me off a bit, it just feels like it doesn’t match up proportionately with her upper half. If it’s not too much to also ask, I’d like some pointers on how to make the hair look more natural in a dynamic poses like this one.
Thank you!
This is an interesting angle on a pose like this, it’s mostly frontal, but beckons the use of foreshortening to deal with the legs. I’ll give it a shot.
First things first, the legs.
As you already observed in the original piece, the legs are a tiny bit too small to match up with the torso. Additionally, the torso needed a bit more girth and bulk to appear as if it was naturally “connected” to the pelvis and subsequently the legs.
For the calf, ( and some of the thigh ) we have to utilize a bit of foreshortening to put it in perspective correctly. Foreshortening can be achieved through a number of techniques, but lovelifedrawing has a good article about this on here:

Construction in foreshortening takes a bit of time going back and forth on your sketch, as you’re basically making qualified guesses as to how something may look.
As for the hair, there will always be a point in aligning the larger volumes of hair to one direction ( in this case, from her front to her back ). If we assume that she is running towards the left corner ( in some sense towards us, the camera ) then all air resistance will come from the front, and push her locks backwards. Some behind her shoulders, others hovering slightly above them. Same for the ears, with the momentum your character has built up, it is likely that they would be pointing backwards as well depending on how fast she is moving. If she’s just jogging away casually, there’s a chance that small locks of hair, and her ears might tilt forward a little bit. But if she is sprinting ahead, which it seems she may be here - nearly everything will be pointing behind her.
