Post your practice.

What method do you generally use to improve your figure drawing skill?

Personally I find that tracing photos and then trying to replicate your line work freehand tends to work pretty well, in terms of building muscle memory and noticing how certain parts of the body are built.

Huh, that's a good idea, I should probably print some pics out (or get a tablet, which would probably be more expensive short term but better in the long term)

Not OP there.

I should try that some time. I usually freehand them. Tracing is usually a good practice if its not used to sell your art or lying to your customers.
