I've had issues trying to draw out bases to draw over.

My mind doesn't really work in that manner, but I can't draw bodies otherwise, so, basically, how does one go about making proper frames for a body?

I would like any tips, even if it's wireframeing Oval, things like that. I just have no clue how to go about drawing out a skeleton of sorts for the body.

was there something more in particular you needed tips on like a certain part of a body?

if you're looking for a full rundown of how to draw the body i suggest looking in the tutorial section 1st

It's not the full body. It's the positioning of it.

I've tried to do it and I cannot see a wireframe making a body. I really cannot see it, I see the body as the body. Crossing arms, I don't see lines making the cross arms, I seem the arms.

You know, I can really relate to what you're talking about. I used to draw frames because that's what people tell you you're supposed to do. My stuff always came out looking like crud when I did that though.

One day I said TO HECK WITH IT! And decided to go by shapes of dark and light rather than stupid ovals and lines (my appologies to the humble oval btw).

But it's ok... turns out that skipping the step for people like us can work too:

Often I don't draw sketches at all, and if I do it looks something like this:

for something like:

My advice is to do whatever works for you.
