Well as mentioned i started drawing by doing bargue copies of his human blockout sketches. i posted a lot of these in the last few beg threads. i started out with an elaborate gridocunt and then would reduce that gridcount with every new copy i did. that helped me a lot in getting a graspe of the pencil and the materials and just sitting down and doing something to the best of my ability.

then i also found a workflow for me that works really well when drawing the figure.

check out the 10 part figure drawing series on that channel, it helped me a lot.
i also completely changed the way i look at things. i draw from photos because of a lack of life drawing classes near me, but the problem with photos is that they are of course 2d. so the way i looked at them was also very 2dish. what i started to do is basically imagine the human in the photo as a 3d mannequin, with cylinders and boxes. so in my mind i start to rebuild the real perspective that happens in the photo.

pic related, you can see my initial quick construction. if things work well in this stage the drawing will turn out alright almost always. and then i just put the 3d forms i see onto my construction. i basically look at the legs as cylinders for example, so you can see how i made some wrapping lines that made that leg go awayf from us as if we could see inside it from that perspective if it was actually see through.

hope that helps
