I use the same shapes I learned off of that one image I saw on pinterest and just modified it to my liking
Draw 2 square and go with it lol

More seriously, using references is a good thing when you're kind of lost,,,, You can use references online or use your own body as a ref (that's what I usually do)
Go to pinteres > "cool pose reference"™ > put 2-4 on canvas > draw

knowing how to construct a figure also works, gesture drawing is good practice for that
I use magicposer
Use references to study how poses work
Legitimately, draw a stick figure!

Specifically, you want your stick figure to have lines that give it the depth of/mark where the shoulders & pelvis are + regular stick figure stuff like head, torso line, arms & legs! I’ll try to draw it with emojis & stuff below! (Hope it looks good!)

Then you angle the horizontal lines for the shoulders or waist so they look like slightly diagonal lines, & then you can move the arms or legs a bit! (I can’t make the underscores used for the images diagonal, but hopefully you get the idea!)
