Comment on What can I do to improve? by MYTHICSONOFGOD

Practice the fundamentals. Draw basic shapes (circles/spheres, cylinders, boxes/cubes) draw cubes in one, two and three-point perspective from all different vantage points, draw simple objects flooded with light from one side to see and understand graditation of values, and draw from real life.

Some people stress anatomy which is clearly quite important for figure drawing BUT I would say focus on proportion first. Don't worry as much about where the muscles will bulge and twist. Focus on the proportions, like the length of the arms in comparison to the body, head to torso, etc.. It will train you to see proportion and more importantly see when something is out of proportion (looks off). You can take that skill to all other subjects (trees, pop bottle, giraffe) and it will be a great foundation for anatomy. If you understand lighting, perspective, proportion, basic shapes, etc.. Anatomy will come easier. A muscle is drawn by considering the lighting and the underlying shapes. You can certainly still practice anatomy but I wouldn't put it as top priority. There are underlying fundamentals that will help you draw EVERYTHING better, that will also help develop your anatomy skills. It's all about the fundamentals. Good luck.
