Advice on figure drawing (its my first time

[nocturne karma]

proportions, shapes n such

i cant keep drawing stickman figures if i want to get big

the elbow should roughly sit at the belly button with the wrists around the groin area, id also use a larger shape for the hips to fill them out a bit

also make sure to study from reference, and pay attention to the different angles and relations of one land mark to another. ie the angle and distance from the elbow to another part of the body like the breasts or maybe the belly button depended on where the arm is
