What I mean is to actually take time to study and research what figure drawing actually is, and what it's supposed to do. IMO, figure drawing is meant to teach us how to draw good poses with a lot of weight, 3D and dynamism. So for me, It would have benefited me more to spend my time researching that in the beginning rather then just doing page after page of figures.
One book I recommend on the subject is Force: Dynamic Life Drawing
https://www.amazon.com/FORCE-Dynamic-Dra...1138919578
I also recommend the class "Analytical Figure drawing" by CGMA
https://www.cgmasteracademy.com/courses/...re-drawing
Both of these resources taught me a lot about what the figure actually is and what figure drawing is supposed to teach me. In combination with continuing to draw lots of figures from photo reference, life and imagination.
