Drawing people can be intimidating, but once you know a few secrets it can be much easier. Working from the live nude model, gain a better understanding of the elements that make up the human figure and how to artistically portray them. From simple gestural sketches with playful lines to longer poses with a tad more time that will allow you to develop your style.
