They way i learnt (and im still learning) is by figuring out how each part of the body works. So like the head then shoulders hands etc. Then where these parts join i see how that works and then ill draw the upper portion or bottom part of the body ann lastly ill see how well full body goes. But drawing from references is good because its builds up your storage and it will become natural after a while. I wish you luck on ypur journey😊and hope this helps
