I have the exact same problem .-. I'm trying to learn how to draw the women figure in an anime style right now. What I do is look at a reference for one pose and draw it out as a prototype. Then I keep drawing that same pose using the prototype as a reference until I don't need it anymore and I can't draw the pose from memory. After, I move on to a different pose. I can do 9 from memory so far ^-^

I can do both, but it turns out greater when I draw from what I'm looking at, as I can see the obvious shadows etc. I also couldn't help but notice the eyes are blue..

I'm the same way! I just can't draw people! I do my own anime type drawings.
