Can I get some Human anatomy tips ? I'd Google it but I like hearing from fellow cartoony artists. If you have no tips or anything u can just ignore me :)

All you gotta do to achieve good humans with accurate anatomy in your art is to only draw Canadians in the winter

Jokes aside, honestly just practice. There’s no quick and easy trick to do good anatomy, you have to put in the time. Study references, do billions of figure drawings, look at skeletons, bone structures, muscle and fat formations etc.

Dont just practice drawing people standing in the pick your character/sims stance. Draw ‘em walking, playing an instrument, playing a sport, (yoga is a good one for more complex pose practice).

Bear in mind this is coming from an art major, so I probably have snobbish opinions about the « right » way to draw lmao.

And if all else fails, just draw Canadians in winter.

#I don’t really have any good tips #Just practice until you loose all sanity you can’t feel your wrist and it’s 4am #That’s when you know you’re a proper artist /j #Do traditional art for a lot of your practice btw #Digital art is fun #but if you really want to be on that art grind #Then no cheating lol #That means no zooming in #No layers #No « reverse » tool #And no easy digital references #Draw real people!#Quick figure drawings are very fun #Just tell someone to strike a pose and see how much you can draw in one minute #Try not to take ur pencil off ur paper at all for that #Aim for continual line drawing #It will help u in the future #AND NO ERASING IN THAT EXERSISE #Okay maybe I do have advice actually lol #It will translate better than you expect into digital cartoon art trust me
