start with the basics first, don't rush straight into NSFW. do anatomy and pose sketches, draw from references or art dolls, etc.

here's some resources i find helpful:

https://line-of-action.com/
https://www.adorkastock.com/

both of these are really good for learning proper posing and figure drawing.

I'd suggest first learning how to break down a body into basic shapes and then going from there!

I've heard the drawabox curriculum can be really good for absolute beginners: https://drawabox.com/

i highly recommend the resources above, and if you want to you can message me and I can try and help you a lottle, I might not be the best artist myself, but i think i'm decent enough at breaking down the anatomy and recently helped my husband learn to draw ^^

im really new, so i don't know what happening now, but i see we can be friends.

starting off referencing linework/sketch from other people is the easiest path, even watching youtube videos 'how to draw bodies' and speedpaints too
you can google for random pose generators to reference real images or aforementioned ones in the thread
you can also (secretly without posting in public) trace photos or art for educational purposes

onward to making nsfw, there are libraries like realbooru.com or subreddits (this comment lists 4 ones for example) which you can find reliable references to use for drawing

If you want NSFW art specific advice then I'd say this - the main thing is natural looking poses, no stiffness and decent anatomy. You can be doing very scribble looking/low effort sketches and still do well with those (score) as long as the three mentioned things check out in your art.

Advice goes a lot deeper than that but it is a case by case thing with each artist and what they want to do specifically. I could go on and on but it would be a huge wall of text lol.

If we're dropping links to resources, here's mine :>

https://quickposes.com/en/gestures/random

What I did to earn some degree of competency:
Draw other people's drawings(not tracing, just eyeballing), youtube tutorials and books(though tbh youtube was far more helpful overall),drawing real life, practicing shapes and specific parts of people

Get extremely focused on something, or even multiple things to help drive you. (Possibly even to an unhealthy degree.) Your favorite series or character that is under-represented in NSFW, or what's there just really doesn't suit you? (Or, there's a lot and what's popular just pisses you off?) Use that as motivation for practicing and putting in the time and effort.

It's likely your focus will change over time, but it's still a legit way to keep a fire lit under yourself.

I would suggest to reframe it less that you're drawing 'for here' and you're drawing more 'for yourself'. Try not to get discouraged if your starting drawings don't match up to the things here, it's not a fair scale.

You're effectively learning how to walk and some of the people here are athletic sprinters, give yourself time and patience to learn and grow.

A good way to practice is drawing things that are around you, by looking not at your hands but at the thing you're drawing and let your hand try to trace the lines of what your eye sees.

Even doodles are practice.

Also take care of your hands and eyes and elbows as best as you can. Do stretches, arm and wrist exercises and the like. Especially if you plan to make this a career or are older.

Tracing can be good practice too as long as you don't try to pass it off as your own work.
