You have some understanding of balance and to some degree know how to draw the unseen. Unfortunately you're lacking a stronger foundation to accompany that sense, restricting you to only see the outside of the form.
I suggest for you to practice drawing alot more 3D shapes and to be more thorough when applying those shapes to what you are drawing.
If you can't draw a tissue box from memory then don't try remembering the human body.
I suggest you check out some tutorials or read up on the "line of action" and stronger foundations (as the person who posted before me suggested) before you get to portraying the outside of the model. Maybe these will help:
Ahmed Aldoori on having a strong foundation for your figures and poses using simple shapes to help understand depth and perspective. <a>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uFQ25_LOPQ<a>
Sycra on gesture drawing in general. <a>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmiwGm32dXU<a>
Best of success in your future creative endeavors, don't give up, mate, you've got a solid handle on balance. You just need a little more confidence and fluidity in your lines. Loosen up and have fun!
Well said. Thank you! I will continue practicing drawing 3D shapes.

Hello! This site is sooo new to me, I have no idea if I'm doing this right. I just wanted to reply to your post and say keep practicing and, like the others said, learn the basics :) Also a great tip when starting out: try to draw bigger. That way you get more movement using not just your wrist but your whole arm. In my experience the lines flow better and can make the pose look more dynamic. Keep learning and you'll see improvement in no time :)
