A good drawing composition wise. Lots going on for a good
drawing challenge.

Scrapperbd spotted the main flaws in structure. It's a simply
flaw that goes away with practice.

The character's structure is in conflict between component size
and the principle of perspective.

The left side of the bound bunny is rotated forward toward the
viewer with the right side rotated away; call it a standard 45
degree profile.

Forward objects closer to the viewer should be bigger than
objects away from the viewer. The main problem here is the
right leg, breast, and hand are larger than the left side
companions. This is why the drawing is "out of perspective".
The right side is dominating too much of the drawing; the viewers
eye is drawn to the right side, but the mind wants the left side
to dominate due to the principle of perspective.

This is a common problem for beginners. Practice long enough and
the principle of perspective becomes second nature.

Scrapperbd also pointed out the left hand/arm position. Try it.
The hand is the bigger problem. Mirror the left hand to the right
hand to some degree. (Note: unless you have tried that a viewer
might not see anything wrong with that position, (plus her species
might be able to do that. Who knows.)

Either way she is in ouch position.

The left leg foreshorting is good.

Experiment with some line thickness to help viewer with object
perspectives.
