Hi anon, it's very important to think of the body as a series of "hard" and "soft" shapes. The hard shapes move independently of each other, and the soft shapes bend and squish and stretch between them. The most important "hard" forms to understand are the 3 forms of the head, rib-cage, and pelvis. The limbs are tubes. Keep each "hard" shape as symmetrical as possible. It's useful, in the beginning, to think of them as boxes, as Bridgman and Hampton teach. Try not to just draw the contours of the figure, then fill in whatever construction you think should be there. Focus on moving the independent hard shapes.

I know these figures are robotic and unnatural, but it'll help you think in the right way later on.
