Knowing the fundamentals and rudimentary movements of the human body as well as understanding its flow and proportions are extremely important to any artist regardless of style. I have never taken an art class and never will, but I also see how overlooked this flaw is and how detrimental it can be to your work. As boring as realistic drawings may be, it provides the wide and essential building block to developing your own style. I have no idea why this lesson took so long to reach me, but I do know that practice is only as good as the quality you put in it.
Which comes down to this. I'm sure a lot of people know this site already (yes I am very late), but take a look at this site.
[link]This is very good for getting some good practice for unusual poses at different angles. The time limit is there to help make your basic pose sketches second nature. For those beginning or tired of drawing in the same poses over and over again (Me and my unimproving artstyle), this is vastly important to creating that building block.
For you few people who stumble across this page. If you have more tools and drills you could share with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

"Nature's first green is gold,/ Her hardest hue to hold./ Her early leaf's a flower;/ But only so an hour./ Then leaf subsides to leaf./ So eden sank to grief,/ So dawn goes down to day,/ Nothing gold can stay. ~Robert Frost
