Anon, slow down and draw more carefully. Look at the contour lines on your model's right forearm — they're way off! Also, don't put in so many lines. You're hiding behind ambiguity, which suggests indecision on your part. At this point, you should indicate the parts as simply as possible. Decide that the upper arm is a cylinder, the lower arm is a truncated cone or tapered cylinder, etc. This enables you to focus on getting the overall proportional relationships and positioning correct before you even begin to worry about subtleties. Also, a tip about cylinders which will help you with these mannikins: the ellipse at the end of a cylinder will always have its long axis at a right angle to the axis of the length of the cylinder. If you don't want your mannikin figures to look askew, adhere to this rule and draw those ellipses/contour lines carefully.
