lol, I'll try.
As for "drawing order," I agree with the tutorials. By drawing the line of action and body first, we can best position our character in the scene/frame. In this way, we are creating with the whole character in mind (the big picture). But I think that many of us have gotten used to drawing the head first. As for myself, I think I do it because when I was younger, many times I would just draw heads (on my book covers, on math homework, on scrap paper). As I grew older and taught myself more drawing skills, I began to draw bodies and whole figures more often. But because I was used to just drawing heads (or, another favorite was an eye, lol) that's where I still start.
If I took the time to train myself to draw the body first, I honestly believe that my overall art would improve and I would draw more backgrounds as well (placing the character in an environment). And I do consciously do this at times, when I think it will help the composition or character interaction. But for the most part, drawing the head first serves me well in pin-ups, so I generally don't take the pains to change.

talking about figure dawing, since i didn't have my paper work in time for precollege, i just had to settle with one class (full-covered expenses) and it was figure drawing intro or lvl 1, it was really fun exect by the part were u have to look at the naked models, but gestures weren't as good looking as those, those are amazing for being done in 3 mins, at least for they are, but one thing about that class is that i got to experiment with some different materials i don't reguraly use, so it was fun, and there's an open house for my class in september 17th.

Practice, practice, practice. Bring your sketchbook to a park and draw the people around you.

It's *very* old school. The part about inking is sooo hilariously out of date!

Wow, awesome!
So how exactly do you go about learning that method?

A teacher stands behind you, bearing a large blood-stained mace....
The alternative learning method involves a xerox that I can't find (it wasn't helpful to me anyway). You just make a really quick stick-figure to check your proportions, then flesh it out with solid forms (eg: ribcage, arms, legs, pelvis/butt) as if you were constructing a sort of puppet.

Dang... Even quick stuff you're so good.
These would make really great doll-pose bases, if it's okay with you, could I solidify some of the lines and do that? If not, it's no prob, they're just really nice natural poses.
