Learning anatomy

[lusty crater]

I’ve just started learning anatomy and I have no idea what I’m doing. I started drawing poses from reference but I have no idea how to move on from this basic body. Should I try and find a different way to draw the body?

My suggestion would be to work on proportions, I struggled a lot when I was starting anatomy studies (and still do xD) But apart from that you could try dynamic poses and figuring out what does and doesn't work ^^

that's more structure than anatomy, which is good, try to get more familiar with shapes forms, basic figures before jumping into muscles and all that, anatomy it's a bit harder when you don't havve those fundamentals

Need a strong base to work on so gotta work on fundamentals 👍

If you need help with anatomy try to examine your own body

Using yourself as a reference is great, either taking pictures or straight up looking at yourself
