# If you're trying to draw figures...
I highly *highly* suggest getting an artists reference book of nude figures. I got one off of amazon for about a tenner. Would link you but I can't find it.

I always struggle when drawing figures but the book I got is bloomin' marvellous! It really helps with the understanding of the shapes of the body and shading.

Also, practice, experiment and have fun.

# ^this
drawing things shouldn't be work, there's not much point learn to art unless you're having fun with it.

# I did have a book that explained how to draw
figures in fantasy type stylee. Which is what I like drawing. Fuck knows where I've left it.

# Before you can make figures anything, eg fantasy figures...
You've got to have an understanding of the body and how it looks.

I would recommend looking at real figures and poses to become familiar with bodies before you try to customise them into a genre.
