Media for learning to draw anatomy

I struggle a lot with anatomy, and I guess some of you too. I'll leave here some of the resources that I use to study it. Share your study resources so we can start a conversation

https://www.scott-eaton.com/outgoing/books/George-Bridgman-Constructive-Anatomy.pdf<---this book it's really good but it's very dense so I recommend reading it little by little and looking at the images mainly.

http://reference.sketchdaily.net/en<----This site it's good for figure drawing and references. It has a lot of images and even a timer.

https://www.youtube.com/user/sinixdesign<----And what can I say. I'm a simp for sinix design. His drawing technic is awesome and he is a very cool chill guy.

And some self-promotion because why not. You can share your comic too if you want.

Thank you so much! These are fantastic references, and I've definitely been looking to improve in this area, myself.

Ooooh those sites look fun. I'll drop in the few I've used.

http://reference.sketchdaily.net/en
https://quickposes.com/en -> just found on google, haven't used

One I've used that I can't find, had a url like gesture a day or something and it had a built in timer so you could set it to like 10sec or 10min, whatever you wanted. Sketchdaily is similar.

quick poses is especially good for fast sketching, as it also has a timer. And after your run of lets say 20 pictures is over you cango back and look at all pictures again. I used this to first draw the rought lines as good I can and then compare them at the end, correcting crude mistakes.

Whenever I find good tutorials on Pinterest, I save them here:

Some are on things like colour and rendering, but a lot are anatomy, because it's just one of those things you can always find new things to improve at.

I also recommend the book Drawn to Life (volume 1) by Walt Stanchfield:

It's most useful for somebody who is getting relatively confident with their anatomical drawing and wants to start adding a bit more dynamism, gesture and flow to their poses, and to much over the philosophy of drawing and animation. It's a dense read, since a lot of it is made up of old lecture notes used to train the Disney animators behind the Disney Rennaisance.

I really like Proko youtube channel - he's explaining anatomy for artist in a funny way.

I also love Sinix!

I've really been enjoying following the Art Prof youtube channel as well. Professor Liu has some really great classes on anatomy. Getting the tilt of the major masses straight was immensely helpful!

Excited to check out some of these other resources people have posted!
