Description
Uhm... I don't like how the female base looks but I'll do a better one if anybody asks for it. This is a basic anime girl figure (hourglass shape or whatnot.)This isn't how I draw females (all the circles and stuff). Usually it looks a lot cleaner, and I usually wing it, but the joint circles help sometimes if you're doing more abstract poses.
I'm not exactly accurate, of course, but this is how I see things. XD; You may, in any way, disagree with how I teach.
These are like the little mannequin things that people use, except in 2D form. Use this the same way you'd use the mannequin. :3
Just some tips. I'll give more help to anybody who needs it. XD
The body:
-Align your shoulders to the hips.
-Ladies, I know you hate your thighs like all the other women, but yes, they ARE bigger than your shins/calves. We don't want them looking like peglegs now do we?
-The circles represent joints- its helps to show how and where things connect, and how not to bend them.
-Your hands stop halfway past your hips, about mid-thigh ish. And when I say stop, I don't mean by your wrists- only your middle finger reaches the half-way mark at your thighs.
Hands:
Use a large circle to represent the palm, and smaller ones to represent the shape of the fingers (use 2-3 per finger). Where the circles overlap should be your joint. use a smaller, more oval-shape to represent the wrist- note: on the opposite side of the thumb is your wristbone; when you draw it, don't make it apparent- it IS there though. (I may be wrong; I can see my own wristbone, which is why I draw it. People vary.)
Feet:
For the ankle, use a vertical oval (not too large). You can erase one half and you can see the ankle's basic shape. Use three circles- one for your heel (should be a rather large circle/oval, egg kinda shape), one for the middle of your foot, between your heel and toe knuckles, and the last one, a smaller ovular shape for where your toes will connect to the rest of your foot. Sadly, I don't have a guide on how to draw toes- Personally, I just wing it. x_X
Any questions, feel free to ask.

I've never really found circles very helpful for the breasts. I like using an oval shape and building the breasts from that. (And I can't really do good hair or draw the knees correctly. But this is helpful with things such as anatomy, how to actually DRAW hands, and feet. (The books on how to draw female characters isn't really that helpful either)

Please only use it for reference and not as a base, such as drawing over it or copy/pasting.
