@Fuchikoma: Anatomy, yes, duly noted. I dunno what you guys do during Winter, but there's not a whole lot of time to do spriting 'round here. Hopefully That'll get better now that it's the 26th.
@Tachikoma: Nope, read the whole thing. With the drawing cubes and then rounding them out, right? Or was that something else...?
But hmm, it's interesting to be on this side of this conversation XP
Anyway, you're not getting rid of me quite that easily. The whole reason I came here is that I am willing to practice towards getting better--after all, if that wasn't the plan, I might as well have just gone and practiced on my own--but there are obviously going to be mistakes that I'll miss, and that's okay. That's why you can go back and do it again. I know there's no "magic quick fix", but I only see that as more of a reason to stick around. Besides, we all know the internet has enough bad art already.
Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to go see if I can't do something productive.
...All right, then, I'll admit I cheated a little for the skeleton here. I took a photograph and shrunk it down, then drew out where it made sense for the skeleton to be. Outlined, referring to the picture, and then did a few other things. I changed the shape of the head and added some little markings for where the elbows and knees.
The new style is a tad bigger than the previous one, but I figure that'll leave me more room for detail work-

If there are any glaring problems in anatomy or physics, now would be a good time to point them out, I suppose. I think the next step should be to give one color worth of shading to what I've got, adding clothes and facial details, then add stuff like clothes, then finish off the shading. How's that sounding?
Of course, if you guys think this post is basically made of complete rubbish, I'll take critique on that sort of stuff, too
EDIT: I just realized how hypocritical part of this post must sound given that I erased the boxes while making the outline XD
