Only one: Draw from life. Got a digital camera? Take pictures. Study those pictures, and draw from them. You won't want to take the time to make your drawings match exactly (unless you're going for a hyperrealist style) but over time you'll get a feel for what to draw and what to ignore.
Clothes are hard. How hard? Note that most of my characters are always naked. :)

that is a nice small tutorial. the shaped box method is interesting, as i've been using a method where you basically draw a plastic molded ribcage first for anatomic correctnesseses. i think that maybe drawing the box and adding detail later would be a lot quicker.

--- Quote from: Narr ---Speaking of hands, many artists never really get them down right. You know that famous portrait of Napolean Bonaparte with his hand in his coat pocket? I was told the real reason as to why was simply because the painter couldn't do hands very well.

Oh shit, I hate hands. Hands and feet are motherfuckers to draw.
KharBevNor:
Some artists can be HOT SHIT at hands though. It's an integral skill for realistic or semi-realistic graphic novels, imo. My favourite artist just for hands is Koto Hirano, but even he cheats: he can't really do fingernails very well, so nearly all of his characters wear gloves.
I think it may just be how Hirano SHITS style though. (He did the Hellsing manga, which whilst not the best drawn ever, is infinitely the most stylish piece of shit on the planet).
