@Tachikoma: Yeah, I know, but that wasn't much of a thing to look at for this. I'm not quite that incompetent, just busy.

Did you just read the first two pages or something? There's quite a lot there, and there's pages of semi-realistic figures towards the end - more importantly, it goes into how to establish form, which you need to apply to everything you will ever draw or sprite. Ever.

And, hey, there's nothing stopping you from looking at real people and using that to understand proportions, either. There's about 7 billion to choose from, so you've got a pretty broad reference pool.

There's no magic quick fix or tutorial that will instantly make you understand the proportions of a figure, or how to effectively stylise your work, or how to choose colours, or anything with art. You learn by working at it, and working at it procedurally. A lot. You work and work and work and work until your hands are malformed claws and then you keep going.

If you're not prepared to put in the hard graft and learn what you're doing, then give up. Give up right now. There's only so much that we can do to help if you can't be bothered to help yourself.
