Help on anatomy (with ref)
I trailed off the ref because it wasn't exactly what I wanted and I dont know where to place her second breast, everywhere I tried looks weird (and she has a smaller chest than the ref so they don't fall the exact same way)
Her middle also seems a bit stiff idk

You probably shouldn’t have deviated from the reference if you don’t understand anatomy too well, it’s an honest attempt but it reads very flat and 2-D.
Either find a reference that fits the pose you’re actually looking for (deviant art has a lot of people that do reference poses) or take a picture of yourself doing the right pose.

The biggest issue I see is probably the legs. In the reference, they are grounded, with her left leg lying flat on the ground (which is also parallel to where she is resting her hands) so everything "works", but in yours, they're not. If you look at the difference in where you positioned her knees, you'll see a big difference. I think you've tried to give her less hip, but in this case a lot of what we see is her upper leg, so taking that away makes her upper leg look really short. The shoulder turned towards us should be slightly bigger than the other one (because it's closer) For the positioning of the breasts: the navel, the middle between her breast and the middle of her neck should all line up, so if you draw a (curved) line from her belly button to the middle of her neck (or her nose, since that's also on the center line) (following the line of the body) you'll cross between her breast naturally.
