Need Anatomy Tutorial

[CombatTheWombat]

Could someone possibly link me to some good human anatomy tutorials, I have trouble drawing people with good proportions and in natural looking positions. Any help would be much appreciated.

I don't know about any anatomy tutorials, but my advice is to look at a lot of photos, particularly stock photos - there's quite a few artists devoted to posting stock photos on deviantart.com

http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/ - is one, I find a lot of inspiration there.

You dont really need tutorials, just go to the library and borrow a book on human anatomy, read a bit, study the human structure (particulary bones) and full body. Or te best thing you could actually is just take studies from your own body by studying yourself in the mirror or take studies by other people (For example if you're starting to learn proper coloring you can note that the most pink areas on your body are where the blood is most visible, like on your grip side of your hands). Then draw some rough sketches. Perhaps start with a stickman and build on with circles and squares till you got the shapes right. Then define the rest right and go into details and stuff.

Best advice is just to practise and study, tutorials you'll usually forget after a day or so unless you got a good memory because they dont crave any performance from you. If you do follow them, make sure not to copy the work from the tutorial and work out your own work from it.

tutorials will eat your soul, sir. srsly. they forked me up so horribly when i was like 12. so now i have the skills of a retard. you're really a lot better off doing your own anatomy studies.
