There's a high res of this sketch, I think in last months nsfw box? I'm not totally sure.

Anyway, I thought I'd take a moment to talk about anatomy and tracing. When it comes to studying, there is a HUGE amount you can learn by tracing a photograph. I tried a naked pinup sketch like this pose just previously, but it was massively improved just by doing a quick tracing so I could re familiarize myself with the anatomy and perspective involved. 

However it's worth being careful with your resources. A lot of pinups, especially, are going to be photoshopped to hell. And you can't rely on how accurate they are when you have people erasing away ribs or extra belly fat. Sure I'm probably going to smooth over "blemishes" when it comes to making a pinup drawing but the artist should always be informed as to what they are removing.
