this is good for 1 minute gesture exercises and most of them seem pretty neat too considering you're a level 1 drawing warrior ;)

However, you need to work on your hip joint and their proportion to the rest of the body

I agree with the others.

The middle pose in your first picture seems odd at the hip joint. I feel that the back part should be slightly longer

It takes time to master anything.

An year ago I was just as lost as you are. The good part is you are on the right site. The posture exercises are great.

Please start by drawing the basic shapes first...understand their 3D structure (e.g. a ball isn't circle its a sphere)

When moving on to the human body, observe yourself first. Make a video of yourself, talking laughing making different expressions. This will help you understand the anchor points we have on our face which is hidden obviously.

I recommend looking up some great tutorials pics on pinterest. its where they explain to draw the simple 2d stick figure first. Then move on to add bones, then muscles, then the skin. Forget about shading for now. Once you understand this stuff, shading will come naturally to you.

The most important step is to draw draw DRAW!!! I can't stress enough. Draw before bed, when waking up, in the car/ in the restraunt basically whenever you aren't doing anything else.

you have to get real serious about this
