Does anybody know any good websites that teach you how to draw real people? I really need help shading. I really need this for something important.

I recently purchased Drawing People: How to Portray the Clothed Figure.

As for online material, I am a fan of speed painting. It's an artwork in itself, yet gives you a glimpse of the artist's mind.

I find the hardest part of drawing a person is their head, and neck, and arms and legs, and sometimes the torso.

I can pretty much only draw things like spaceships, stuff people wouldn't know what it is actually supposed to look like.

oh hell the only tip I can give is to not rush, works for pretty much anything in life. Talk to me when you need help with photoshop.

Mouth and Eyes. Hands and legs can be tricky, but not that much. Just go Google it, dammit.

Hands are difficult, because it's easy to forget the middle finger is the longest.

For me, the eyes are the trickiest, because you just can't seem to get the life in them right. Draw them wrong, and you either have a lopsided monster, or a zombie.

Sometimes the ring finger is shorter to the index, and sometimes the ring finger is longer then the index. I <3 useless knowledge.

Here are some decent tutorials on drawing. They aren't tutorials in the traditional sense. Nobody is describing what is happening. Observe and try to follow the steps the artist takes.

Your best shot is to draw many different people in a short period of time. When I say short period of time, I mean don't spend more than ten minutes on one character. People learn better when challenged.
