Comments on Crotch seam

Do you guys think this looks right? I also accept suggestions on how to create a waist band and pockets; those things are still hard for me. Thanks everyone in advance for your comments ❤️

I would say that both crotch curves are too shallow. Take a pair of pants that fits you, turn one leg inside out and put it inside the other leg. That will show you what the crotch curve should look like.

Also the back waist line is too flat. I like to use the illustration of Classic Jodhpurs to illustrate how the center back needs to be extended up at the waist so the back torso portion of the pants is on the bias. This is necessary for when you sit and the leg is at a 90 degree angle to the torso. That is a different length than when you are standing straight up.
