Okay!
First of all, experiment with different eye designs and try and find the design most appealing to you. Do the same with the other facial features.
Then make a stick figure body. You can give form to it gradually by adding lines.Okay, thank you!!
Something that really helped me improve my drawing skills is first finding photos of real-life people that I could use as references. Then, referring to these photos for proportions, I drew circles for the person's head, shoulders, elbows, hips, wrists, knees, and feet. This is great if you're trying out new poses, too.
Also, drawing lines from up to down (v) makes them straighter than if you draw them down to up (^).
(My style is more anime/manga than realistic, especially for the eyes. I'm pretty much an expert on eyes, LOL.)

This is probably the worst advice ever.
As someone said above ^^ I find it easier to find a reference picture where I can copy the pose from, etc.
Usually, if I'm struggling in one particular area (hands, feet, legs, etc.) I will search up some sketches that other people have done with that particular body part and practice drawing it over and over.
((I usually just draw anime as well tho))

Drawing is a talent that does not appear instantly. As the very overused saying goes, "Practice Makes Perfect", and when put to the test with drawing, it is true. Being a good artist doesn't just come instantly. Study poses, and try different things. If you mess up, keep trying! Redraw pictures you don't like and it might come out alright! My drawings started pretty bad, and here's a little example.
As you can see, BEFORE, around March 2015 is when I started, and it was a bit over a year when I drew the AFTER one. It's clear there was improvement, so don't give up! Keep trying!
nah that helps thanks !!
