    Lol, i'm the opposite! I've got animals down, but my people drawings need work! I would suggest going for shapes. I personally start with the head, than work my way down, making sure as i go the angles look right. Animals are very angular, especially in the face and joints, and once you have proportions down than you can curve it out a bit to give it life! :]
    Also, for fur, just use quick sharp lines in the direction it should be going. Looking closely at references can show you what direction line strokes should be, and that will definitely bring 3-dimension to your drawing.

    Hey everyone,
    So my drawing troubles begin and end with people. Somehow animals and still life just make sense, and thats where i'm most comfortable at. But i want to get out of that and work on people, yet somehow all my skill with animals doesn't help me even the slightest bit! it think its in proportions mainly i have trouble; they either turn out fat and stubby, too big a head or whispy tall. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for daily practice that might help me improve? I could really use it. :(
