I think you can easily (albeit slowly) learn figure drawing if you just find a weekly life drawing session and stick with it for a while. In art school they give you some anatomy tips but you actually learn most of it by practicing, observing and getting critiqued.

And if you want your stuff to have a more artistic feel I would suggest that you experiment with your techniques and accept that sometimes it just won't work. Grab the pencil a different way, use other materials, give yourself some restrictions (e.g. only use vertical lines or use line thickness to indicate distance). There's a myriad things you can do and eventually you'll find something that works for you, and as a bonus it will make the process much more fun.

Unless you are downright doing something to distract the other people nobody will care about your level of expertise, some people may even offer advice if you ask during the breaks.

They will also probably have some sort of schedule where they do some quick poses and one or more longer poses later so you don't even need to decide where to start.

That's probably the best rendition of the zigzag aura I've seen yet.

Crap, I didn't think about that. I was just trying to get:
