Tried and True Drawing tips:

DON’T LOOK AT YOUR DRAWING!!

(left is a gesture looking back and forth from figure to drawing, right is without looking at the drawing)

30  to 60 second figure gestures are great for warming up… 

but I always jump around too much before I get everything down, and end up with halflings.

without looking at your paper or picking up your pen/pencil/charcoal/chocolate/whatever, you have to trust your hand to “feel” the form as a whole and make the right connections, and move naturally through the figure.

It’s beginner stuff I know, but it all goes back to basics anyway.
