I just recently learned how to draw poses
The drawings are a bit messy since I was just messing around with the general shapes but I feel like I could make them better or that something is missing and some of the poses look a bit awkward.
I also tried drawing clothing but I either add too much or not enough texture which either makes it look plain or makes it look too wrinkly or even just dirty. Im not really sure how I should add the wrinkles either.
I also struggle with hands and hair a bit but I’m still trying to improve. I think I can draw it pretty well when I’m doing semi realism but I have trouble with making it into my own style. Any suggestions or feedback?

draw the spine line first to avoid the block form, there's method where people doodle a single, wobbly line and use it as a guideline for their character. then you draw the ribcage and pelvis guidelines in accordance to the flow of the line.

My art style developed slowly and naturally over the course of 10 years to what it is today. Looking back, I can sort of piece together what I did without thinking at the time into steps you can follow and hopefully speed up that process.
