This was so helpful! Most other how to tutorials line this were kind of like "draw the skeleton and skull woo" and I was like, "Ain't no body got time fo' that!" x33 this was so simple and helped a bunch, thanks!!

Sometimes with all the new skills and techniques people are creating it's nice to sometimes go back and restudy the basics. At least in my opinion. :>

Very useful tips!
I haven't drawn anything besides quick sketches to capture shapes from clouds in about 11 years or so ('cause I've never considered myself an artist). But, I've been told that I can draw, and should be drawing.

The info on the body ratios was super helpful! I'm pretty excited for your character design one, as well!

I'm sorry, I just have to say this because I see a lot of beginners following tutorials, they aren't able to see the mistakes and then they start to draw with these same mistakes without realizing. (happened to me, it's a pain to "recover" after it)
So... the legs you draw are a bit short. If you check out some skeletons (male and female), it's actually head to end of the pelvis = end of the pelvis to feet. The pelvis you drew here is a bit short as well n_n''''
And also, on that part about the face features, the cranium is too short on the back, the face is too long and the neck doesn't come out the right way...
other than that everything is good, I liked the part about balance, I see that mistake a lot and very few tutorials about it. I hope you don't take it as a insult, I just wanted to help @_@ sorry about my english

No prob, I am the first one to say to not trust everything you see on the net, and that's precisely why I made this warning at the beginning.
However these are very slight nuances and I do believe my theory under these advices is solid, nothing that would be handicapping or "hard to recover". As i said in the warning these are "leads to follow" and not "carved in stone commandments".

I wouldn't call them "slight nuances" but, if you say so...

Yep, you should if you have the occasion ! ^^ This is the most important class I've ever been ! (and I feel guilty for not going anymore, I didn't learn it all yet and I must keep on practice !...)
I'm very glad I could be useful !
