How to draw ANATOMY

This look amazing. You did a really good job.

Hi Laure. Great job for a first try. To further improve, you gotta start think in terms of cylinders and cubes. Get the books by the famous Burne Hogarth. He should start you thinking in terms of those things to help you construct a human figure from the imagination. If you think he is a bit old school for your taste, you can try Ron Lehman. Or simply pick some of the innumerable number of superhero comics out there and start copying them, even trace over at the beginning. It is a bit like learning a new language for some. The more you use it, the better you get. So get tracing and copying. You'll only be following a mighty and fine western tradition of apprenticeship practiced all over Europe in the past. Good luck and keep up the good work!

thank you so much Henry for your nice comment, I 'll take a look at the books you told me about and at the same time I follow with other courses in skillshare, about anatomy , basic skills in drawing and watercolor. I draw for about 2 months now, 1hour and half every day and I love it so much sometimes I can't stop! I know I have a lot to learn and this is the point: I love learning new skills :)
Thanks again!
(sorry for my bad english, I'm french and not totally fluent in english :/ )

Merci beaucoup , je continue le cours et j'en suis aux jambes. J'aime beaucoup ta façon d'expliquer et après j'essaie le cours sur l'aquarelle. Merci encore ce cours est top :)

En Francais c'est mieux : Vraiment bien joué pour ces croquis, vraiment ! On peut sentir les muscles et le coté fluide des personnages, encore bravo !!

Hello! You did a great job, I'm really impressed ! We can really feel the muscles and the natural poses of the characters. Well done !!
