can anyone give me tips on drawing humans in different perspectives or know of any books for it or any web sites

try a constructive method:

imagine the body divided into squares, cylinders etc (like modelling with polygones!
This structuring is very helpfull to develop difficult positioning.
ok this perspective is not that difficult, but it shows what I ment

Well, solitaire put it nicely. But, reading isn't the way to go. Just practice drawing in perspective. Use real humans to do it. Get your friends, mom, dad or whatever to pose for you at angles etc. and just slowly learn. It's the best way and sureest way to learn.

Yes EvilToEyeLet is right you cannot use the technique I used if you don't have a feel for human proportions - anatomy studies are necessary to know where bones and muscles have certain effects to poses and at least to shading lighting, so go visit a life drawing class or just go around with some paper'n pen, draw the loveliest you're able to find .
I've always a sketchbook at hand when sitting in a park, bus or underground (petrol is too expensive for poor students ).
