At the suggestion of soushiyo (the artist behind the comic Familiar which is great) on a patreon discord for another great artist, Smuttyrogue (links below), I got Basic Human Anatomy and Dynamic Human Anatomy by Roberto Osti, and am now just drawing skeletons and muscles to learn how they look and feel. Highly recommend!

I adore your style and content - I’m considering doing masters studies of some of your pieces just to try it out, but I’m still fairly new to art. I was curious if there’s any part of your process or any particular advice you’d have?

Gave this answer before to someone who asked me the same question, and I think it still counts! 1) Build stamina. You can do this by drawing often- and with intention. Start your drawing with a warm up- something light, not overly serious. Focus more on the literal mechanical feeling of your hand moving to draw. Then focus on the heavier stuff after you’ve both literally and mentally warmed up, setting the stage for more involved drawing. Make this a routine and drawing overall will be less tiring over time.

2) Focus on replicability, not detail. This goes hand in hand with the previous point. A lot of people develop a kind of perfectionism early on, where they get overly attached to a specific sketch and don’t wanna budge from it, and put details until it “looks good,” even when the subject as a whole is wonky. I like to equate this to “too much icing, not enough cake,” or “building on sand foundations.” I’ve been there before, and it can hold you back. Instead of focusing on a specific piece and how you rendered it that one time, focus on how you render it such that you could do something similar, easily replicate the concept. Once you’ve built more stamina, you can open up the gates to tackling the same subject matter in different ways.

3) Mind your mark making. Some folks agonize over the tiniest detail, sometimes for hours. At the end of the day, that itself doesn’t necessarily bring improvement- that’s more of a test of patience. Unless someone specifically asks, you don’t- for example- need to draw every single ridge of every knob on a switchboard in great detail. These things can be implied through mark making. Remember, a lot of drawing isn’t about literally making something for people to see- it’s tricking the eye into believing what’s drawn is actually there. You’ll be amazed at what detail can be like even when you don’t define every part.

4) Drawing is more seeing than “making it up.” * Don’t be afraid to use references and such. It’ll help you render form than imagining it- sometimes the imagination can conjure things incorrectly. *Even seasoned artists who don’t typically use too much references need to do studies from life or books every now and then to reinforce skills.

One point I didn't add before for style things specifically is: 5) Look where the artist got their inspirations from if you want to learn from them. No art exists within a vaccuum, everyone has their influences. Trying to do a study from someone's art will only take you so far- because then it'll feel more like mimicry than actual, learned study. Research or try to see parallels with artists that you might think had a hand in influencing a given artist's style. Notice the patterns there- certain textures are invoked here, this form was defined like this, etc. A lot of folks confuse wanting "more of a thing" as opposed to "what makes that thing desirable/unique." If you'd like to know where some of my influences come from, I'd say look at the works of Squiddy, covers for Hellboy comics, and the Snowpiercer graphic novel.

Addendum: If you're looking to draw anatomy specifically- study from real anatomy, and learn how to do those before you begin to "break the rules" (exaggerate, anthropomorphize, etc). For resources on that, I'd recommend the Morpho books (all of them haha) and Dynamic Human Anatomy by Roberto Osti.

Hope this helps somewhat, feel free to ask if I missed anything.

Some Drawing Resources

I saw @freesia-writes asks for some drawing resources and I thought I would share some that help me along the way. List is below.

Some drawing programs (prices may vary):

Autodesk sketchbook (free)

Krita (Free)

Adobe Photoshop ($11 USD A month)

Clip Studio Paint (80 USD a year)

Procrate ($10 USD) For tablet

3D Programs:

Blender (free) - great for learning anatomy and 3D space of a figure.

Maya ($300 USD for 100 days) - used to be a lot cheaper but not anymore.

Books:

1. *** Human Anatomy for Artist: The Elements of Form - by Eliot Goldfinger *** (Must have)

2. Anatomy for Sculptors: Understanding Human Figure - by Uldis Zarins (fan fave)

3. Figure Drawing: Design and Invention - by Michael Hampton

4. Classic Human Anatomy: The Artist's Guide to form, function and movement - by Valerie L. Winslow

5. Classic Human Anatomy in motion: The Artist's Guide to the Dynamics of Figure Drawing - by Valerie L. Winslow

6. Dynamic Human Anatomy: An artist's Guide to Structure, Gesture, and the Figure in Motion - by Roberto Osti

7. Anatomy: A complete Guide for Artists - by Joseph Sheppard.

Online Art Pose References (where to find):

Artstation Marketplace (not free)

Deviantart (mostly free)

Pose Space (pricey)

Gumaroad (not free)

Background:

I actually have a degree in 3D and 2D animation from on the the top art schools in the USA. However, I really didn't learn much about drawing in school. I learn more about 3D/2D programs and how the 3D animation industry works. I learned how to draw/paint mostly on my own.

I started out as a digital artist and still am a digital artist. It not so much the medium in which one draws on but what one is learning how to draw. Much like music - doesn't matter which instrument one is learning how to play, one needs to learn their scales. In art those "scales" are learning anatomy (which nobody learns), color theory (which is my pride and joy), perspective (super hard), gesture and form (super fun once you get it).

Remember, everyone learns differently and at their own speed. Find what makes you want to learn and a fun way to learn for you. Hope this helps! Best of luck on your art journey.

This is definitely how bones legit work and you can grab above your wrist and feel it for yourself lol.

(We covered this fun quirk/evil bane for artists in the drawing anatomy class I took).

Wait edit: the anatomy class I took online was with Roberto Osti, he has some free videos on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Fc12Wsrt8pA?si=aIzXoXdAoipA0oNZ

That one is on the forearm supination to pronation specifically.

He wrote these books:

He does anatomical/medical illustration and is also very well versed on classical drawing so this is like...very technical. I enjoyed him as a teacher and definitely learned a lot in his class because knowing the specifics definitely helps when you're not being super technical too. He has sooo many model skeleton parts he just grabs and is like "look, see?"

[brehaaorgana]

Roberto Osti was the art teacher I mentioned awhile ago who would drop a model skeleton pelvis on his desk and in his Italian accent explain where the genitals would be if we drew them. I sometimes wonder how many porn artists take anatomy classes for this vital info because I imagine it makes drawing without direct reference wayyyy easier.

Focus, speciale sul centenario della Marcia su Roma

Focus, speciale sul centenario della Marcia su Roma. In occasione della ricorrenza del 100ennale, giovedì 27 ottobre, alle ore 21.15, Focus propone lo speciale "Marcia su Roma - nella mente del Duce". L’approfondimento, a cura di Carlo Gorla, con la regia di Roberto Burchielli, produttore esecutivo Paola Tancioni, è condotto dal giornalista, scrittore e saggista Tommaso Cerno. Il documentario, ambientato tra Milano e Roma, racconta la parabola del Duce, toccando alcuni luoghi-simbolo del Ventennio. A Milano, Piazza San Sepolcro, Piazza della Scala e DORS (Deposito Officina Rotabili Storici), di Fondazione FS italiane, con i suoi treni dell’epoca e stazione da cui Mussolini partì per la Capitale. A Roma, il Palazzo delle Esposizioni, il Palazzo della Civiltà, il Quirinale e la Rimessa Presidenziale di Roma Termini, sempre di Fondazione FS italiane: qui, infatti, si trova un vagone uguale a quello su cui Mussolini viaggiò nella notte tra il 29 e il 30 ottobre 1922, per andare a ricevere l’incarico di formare il governo da Vittorio Emanuele III. Lo speciale - scritto da Tommaso Cerno, con Beba Slijepcevic, e la consulenza dello storico Amedeo Osti Guerrazzi e dello scrittore Enzo Antonio Cicchino - raccoglie le testimonianze di autorevoli esperti, come: l’ex segretario di Rifondazione comunista Fausto Bertinotti; il giornalista, saggista e scrittore Paolo Mieli; il critico d’arte e scrittore Vittorio Sgarbi; il drammaturgo, attore e regista Massimiliano Finazzer Flory; il direttore di Fondazione FS Italiane Luigi Francesco Cantamessa e il professore di Psicologia Clinica dell’Università Bicocca di Milano Fabio Madeddu che, insieme a filmati e materiale d’archivio, ricostruiscono e spiegano il clima del Paese in quell’epoca. Intento di "Marcia su Roma - nella mente del Duce" è anche quello di mettere in luce le due narrazioni dell’evento: quello di come effettivamente si svolse e quello ufficialmente imposto al Paese da Mussolini. Un resoconto ampio e storicamente accurato, che abbraccia anche l’aneddotica mostrando come i protagonisti della Marcia fossero le pedine di una gigantesca partita a scacchi, vinta dal Re Nero Benito Mussolini, contro gli uomini dell’intera classe liberale, cattolica e socialista. Il documentario, inoltre, ha come obiettivo quello di provare a dare risposte a numerosi interrogativi: quali sono stati i trucchi e le strategie di questo gioco, che in breve condusse alla dittatura? Chi sono stati i protagonisti - gli Alfieri, le Torri, i Re, le Regine - e i giocatori di questo complesso attacco allo Stato liberale? Con quali mosse, Mussolini riuscì nello Scacco Matto e divenire così Il Duce? "Marcia su Roma - nella mente del Duce" si avvale di filmati e materiale di archivio provenienti da Istituto Luce, Cineteca Milano e Getty Images, insieme al repertorio storico free di fondazioni e dagli archivi Mediaset. Il documentario è nato con la collaborazione editoriale dei partecipanti al Master Executive Programme in Creatività e Gestione dei Format Televisivi, della Luiss Business School di Roma....
