Yeah, I've tried multiple ways, but none really work. Could you give some advice? Mostly needed on the body structure, but advice on the face would be nice too.

Personally, I like to look at anatomy and just study it a while. The human body is a little odd in someways. Just keep in mind they are not all perfect.
So for a start I could recommend some anatomy drawings Ive used to learn and also another thing I actually have done as well is taking photos of myself, and if you have digital you can go over it in red to do a basic structure outline for joints and so on c: If this makes sense, if not lemme know and I can do a little more into it. XD Trying to do two things.

knowing the skeleton, some basic muscles, and proportions can take you pretty far, then you can supplement that with more advanced anatomy when needed. if you're struggling with making things look good, then it's time to start studying some references. don't just mindlessly copy, though. take note of proportion, form, and any landmarks that might be useful when you go back to drawing from memory.
and practice, i guess. that's pretty important too.

Well the best advice I could give for drawing anything is to study and practice. Improvement comes with practice Look at the building blocks of the human body. There are many tutorials and videos addressing human anatomy, tips and techniques for drawing the human body, and when in doubt look at references for your own work. More importantly, practice constantly.
Do gesture drawings. They allow you to branch outside of your comfort zone. Do studies. Draw the thing(s) you hate the most over and over again until you defeat the beast. Just keep going. I think another thing is learning about the planes of the human body. Perspective and all that good stuff. There's a lot of work out there that give good tips and tricks on howto do it. I suggest looking at them, watching videos, drawing consistently, and doing gestures.
Gestures are the basis to any good drawing and it really helps you figure out what should go where. Start off giving yourself more time and reduce it until ultimately you can do it clean and quick. By doing them, you will see improvements with time.
