    With Figure drawing, you should focus on motion and gesture when you first start. Look at the angle of the hips and shoulders. They are indicators for everything else in the pose. Don't worry about the head and face as much (this isn't portraiture). Focus on the body and movement! Imagine the shoulders and hips as 2x4 planks of wood with the spine as a rope connecting them. Draw that in perspective until you familiarize yourself with the skeleton. I get my drawing ideas from some models, and I practice them a lot.
