Hello!!! I just found your channel and I love your motivation and congrats on starting to learn art! A lot of people are scared of getting started but you did, so that’s a big step. I’m not sure if you are looking for advice but this is how I learned to draw “humans” more specifically. In the beginning of the journey, I suggest using references with simpler or less shapes involved. For example, in this reference that you have chosen, the limbs and body have a lot of shapes, which while overall looks like easy guidelines, but once drawing it simply becomes copying without really understanding the body structures. And you may start to realise that some parts look odd or the person looks like they may fall over and this is completely normal! I started with learning to draw each specific body part separately, and as you do so, you’ll also start to understand art concepts and and build muscle memory in your hands for specific ways to draw to achieve specific lines. As starting with body parts, it has simpler shapes and lines and can really build understanding. For example, I started with popular features like the eyes, then moving on the nose and eventually every part of the face. Then I moved on to the head as a whole and then moving on to connect the head to the neck. And keep moving onwards reaching the feet. In the mean time, you can practice motion of the body and focus on overall shape that you see in the reference for full body practices (if drawing body parts get boring). I like to get a reference that I like, cool dynamics and such, a trick is to blur your eyes or squint to look at the overall shape. Observe these references, look at how the body balances, and where the weight is. This can help you understand how a person reacts to gravitational pull, and help character that you draw look less stiff with motion. (There are many tutorials online for this)This can be a fun exercise to do, but don’t do it too big otherwise you’ll get stuck trying to draw in all the details. Once you’ve done each body part, you can practice connecting body parts together. Remember, references are really important and never be afraid to use them. One thing I wanna say is art can be hard, and sometimes you feel like you’re not getting anywhere despite the hours that you spent on it. So never compare your work now to your previous one. Compare your work to 10 before. Just like how you might not notice your hair grew until you look at photos from a few months ago. Art works the same way and progress comes in the long run. So don’t be discouraged because it will come if you keep working at it. Then again, this advice is from my own experience. So you don’t have to listen but I hope this can be of some help! I’m excited to see how you do on your art in the future!! Also, shape is important! 2D and 3D shapes. The world is made up of shapes working together if you look closely, so this is really good foundational work. (I wrote all this in one go so I hope it makes sense)
