I just wanted to share this site for those who have trouble with poses or are looking for somewhat more creative poses/angles, (and overall anatomy), for when it comes to drawing people; (like myself):

(EDIT: I'm compiling a list of stuff I may find useful or wish to reference later here, could make a new blog to list them but don't feel like it. Also there, for the most part, related the the original topic of this blog. Feel free to check them out yourself; links below:) Oh, there also may be some nonsense that I'm learning/teaching myself that I find useful. You might, or you might not, or you'll find it amusing... or not!

Various proportions from different ages - (Image)  <=== This is pretty good reference for drawing from kids to adults proportionally correct.

My Musings:
+Eyes: Always one "eye" between eyes.
+Ladies: Hourglass figures make sense. Adjust accordingly. 
+Dudes: RECTANGULAR AND ANGULAR. (Adjust accordingly.)
+Fingers: First ball is knuckle(s), second two bendable joints in finger(s) themselves. THUMBS ONLY HAVE ONE.
+Hands: Rounded triangles you say?
+Heads: Ladies have rounder/softer faces? Men more sharp and angular? *Sigh* (Androgynous = a mix of both?)
+Hair: Hairlines... Hairlines... Hairlines...
+For poses and other things: "Line of action."
+Proportions: Just cause you can draw adults doesn't mean you can draw kids necessarily. (And vice versa.)
**People are hard things to draw.
