#like muscular bodies dont look the sameee some have more fat while others have more meat and others r bonyy

this might be out of topic but how do you practice drawing anatomy and how long have you been doing it? I can't stop staring at the near naked figure with that black scribble around his hips

i guess this is a bit of a more difficult thing to explain since i don't really have a concrete process to it? i just kinda do whatever and hope for the best AFHAFHAF

i haven't taken anatomy seriously until about 3 years ago-ish? mostly because i was too lazy to actually sit down and study the different muscle groups n stuff,, shit, even now i'm not consistent with it

but! i do have some tips ? kinda ?

what i usually do is study from reference :]]

(i couldn't find which pictures i used for the nigel drawing but here's loki)

once u've learned the different muscle groups (it's boringgg but it would help a LOT) drawing anatomy from references would be so much easier bc you would recognize which muscles are at play + how the skin stretches + fat distribution + lights and shadows etc etc.

magic poser is great for poses but for anatomy itself imo it's better to go for actual pictures of people itself because sticking to that could constrict you into drawing a specific body type. like,, treat it as a skeleton, or a crutch that can assist you rather than the main thing itself ?? (i hope i explained it right)

(that's how many references i have in my board 😭😭 jesus)
