Beginner Figure Drawing Fundamentals  - Construction of the Body Parts

Thank you for you patience. So, starting off with the legs, I think these are the best area of the figure you've drawn, you've got the general shape looking right, especially in the upper thighs. The hands are not too bad either, it's good that you're keeping things pretty simple at this stage. What I would suggest doing is to draw a little bit bigger. The arms for instance look very small so it's a bit hard to see what the structure is really like. Drawing too small too often will make it difficult for you to draw larger, so at the very least draw your figure parts in different sizes, preferably a larger size at this stage, as it will help you better understand how to construct the parts.You've got the right idea with the Torso, but the forms are a little too flat and 2-dimensional. It looks like you might be trying to be a little too cautious in your sketches here. That usually comes about when we try to copy what we're seeing. Our goal is to not copy the figure but to build the figure. Spend a little more time gradually building up your forms and cross contrives, don't worry too much about accuracy or details. And do be afraid to be looser with your sketches. In other words don't be afraid to make mistakes. If something doesn't work, simply try again. If we try to duplicate the pose exactly, it will start to make our figure look too robotic. Your head sketch is actually not too bad, but again, you want to draw this a lot bigger than what you've got here. Overall this is not a bad start to this project, so keep it up! Let me know if you have any questions! :)
