IMO you are doing pretty well right now. If this kind of foreshortening is problematic for you, train it a little bit on basic shapes, but on this image it looks nice.
That is what I thought too, it is looking quite okay to me, but I’m not a figurative painter, so I did not want to comment as the first on it.

I am not very good at it but when I used to try sketching foreshortening, I found it useful to place the foot or hand the way I wanted it first, then work backwards from there towards the body.
I wanted the lower half to push just a little back with the foot coming forward and upward. I sat one hour unsatisfied and then gave up.
I barely do hands and feet so this method is killing me but I will try again.
thanks. To me the knee was looking straight to the camera which I wanted to avoid. I wanted it just a little bit sideways but couldn’t achieve that look and gave up. Will try again with what @Erisian said.
This might sound weird, but could you get a friend to pose like this so you can take a photo?
I watched a film about an anime studio and the artists did this every time they got stuck on a pose.
An art teacher I met at a digital comic course, recommended drawing a cube around the object or character you are trying to portray. I find this helpful with foreshortening, as all other shapes has to match the angle of this figure
I remember that he drew a bicycle with this approach, starting with the cube, and it turned out really well.
If you are not using reference, I would also suggest finding one, with a pose matching what you are going for
Finished work is here. The leg still feels off to me. xD Finished Pose
Finished Pose This was the final result of it.
Help! How to fix the leg?! unable to put it in perspective - #11 by Ansu What do you think fo the final result?
I think it’s pretty good!
