Before anyone says anything, I'm aware the bones aren't exactly shaped like that. This is the page I was using, before trying to think of my own simplification, and then using photo references.

I tried to "just get a feel for it."
But I think that fell flat.

THICC hand. Keep practicing bubbi; keep in mind the palm of the hand is itself composed of bones similar to that of the fingers-mind the fingers' placement on that front plane too. Consider working from the finger closest to the viewer and working your way outwards from there, the worst part about drawing these things is how close together they're grouped and how they overlap each other

A friend asked me to draw something for him and I complied even if it goes against every fiber of my being-but I ought to be punished for never drawing anything spontaneous to begin with and this was probably the best way to do it. Yup, still suck, back to the grind for another five year!
It's always nice when you're able to teach two people a lesson at the same time.

Looks better than anything I can draw.
Two things I noticed is that you fucked up on the arm and the waist.
The arms are line two continuous sticks, because of the bones underneath them, Because of the biceps and the angle of the shoulder it makes it look like the arm is broken in two.
Also in the waist, the angle is too straight so it looks unnatural. The skin just sort of flops over bones and muscles, so it ends up softening those angles.
That's all I could see wrong with it.

Looking at myself in my laptop's camera it doesn't look too far off-but perhaps I did push it back too far. In either case I do need to do more research on "raised arm" poses in general. The deltoid sort of wraps around the back of the arm to meet the deltoid tuberosity on the humerus and I still don't really know what that looks like or what the contextually front-facing jumble of insertions (pectoralis, coracobrachialis etc.) under the armpit looks like either.

Thanks, but I only drew the hand since it was in Hampton's pictures, there.
I'm going to keep what you said in mind, howerever, but today's practice should also show how I'm sort of deliberately glossing over the hands, for the time being.
I'll get to them, but for now I'm essentially having placeholders, so it's not just a jarring handless arm.

This may sound unhelpful, or like non-advice, but you should really work on your fundamentals, specifically perspective.

As bad as I am at drawing I can't paint for shit. I'm coming to find that it's just as important to know what muscles we won't normally see as it is to know the ones we do.

The g. trochanter is on the side of the pelvis, they would both be almost completely obscured by the gluteus maximus and medius at that angle (and in the case of the one on our right it would be completely obscured). Instead I put them on the middle rear and it looks like that figure's butt has big saucer nipples.

Wasn't doing so hot yesterday, but today I think I did better.
At the very least, I'm researching this all more and more, and it seems to me that taking a few weeks to just draw each muscle of the forearm, each day, would be ideal.

Pretty sure Loomis covers it fairly well in a few of his books but it's still a tough subject for just about anybody, especially when they're starting out. It's not something that is going to come easy just from reading a few pages on theory, you should probably make a point to look for references of objects and/or figure models that have visible elements of foreshortening.
One thing you could try doing is going on sketchfab and drawing 3D rotations of mundane objects, it might help you get a feel for it. Also using your computer's camera as a reference couldn't hurt either. That's a really good resource I tend to forget about, myself.

Yeah if you have a laptop or something like that sometimes your own body can be your best reference. Just hit the windows button and type in "camera" and you have the ultimate resource for "guy as seen from the chest up sitting at computer".

The head is just like any other form, essentially a "chiseled block" so to speak.
What you're doing right now is sorta just sliding around 2D elements, in a way that ends up looking disjointed.
Ironically enough, if you learn perspective, the basic forms of the head become way easier to work with.

A tip:
if you're drawing something and you know for sure something is wrong with it.
Redraw the whole thing from scratch.
Don't polish that turd.
It will not only give you mileage but also confidence since if you do this often enough you will be cool with non attachment to your practice stuff.
You'll be grinding out thousands of drawings over your time as an artist.
That potato of just now will be dust in the wind in a month or two.

First time drawing in three years. Cat skull that my mom had laying around her house. She's a crazy cat lady, all of her cats are inbred and deformed. They don't last long. Drawn with mechanical pencil.
