OK, this is not a tutorial but it might give some an idea of where to start.

1. I started off with my stick figure*. I chose an intermediate pose but you can mess around with other poses. I try not to spend time drawing my stick figure sketch.

_{*Note: I use a colored pencil for my basic sketch then go over the colored sketch with a regular pencil. I find this a clever way of avoiding some pencil smudge.}

2. With my stick figure done, I just went along the lines to put some meat on those bones. (btw, I did skip a step with drawing circles around the sticks but that's not my way anymore) I also added my lines to where I would have everything organized on the face.

3. I added clothes. You don't have to add clothes but that's a different subject. Anyway, I added hair and a face as well.

4. This is my final step in the process. I add the detail. Some of the detail is not visible because the resolution was set to 75 so, yeah. I may submit a clearer one so everyone can see the detail but it all depends.

Tada. This is how I draw. It may not seem breath-taking but it's my way. Find a way that's best suited for you.
