in drawing sessions, make a point to try out different approaches and pay attention to different things(books might recommend some more) for example: figure - ground, light - shadow, weight and tension, draw with your left hand, draw without looking at the paper, draw with materials that you don't normally use, draw with a single line only.

drawing other real life objects and situation.

ask friends, family to pose or draw them while they watch TV, draw strangers on the bus, in the coffee shop, at the mall, anything and anyone that is in a place for more than 20 seconds can be your model.

croquis drawing sessions that means, one posture from a model every 1-5 minutes, so you train your ability for fast perception and naturally inforces drawing from big to detail, not the other way around.

Only looking at something physical and transforming it to lines on paper will really train this skill. For example, looking at a drawing you might realize how incredibly weird lines can run with a certain perspective distortion and how they look drawn.Д«ut that is not the real knowledge you use when trying to capture or imagine an anatomically correct figure. The thing is, drawing from references like books or other drawings can help you understand how the drawing has to look. No book you can buy or advice you can get will replace the experience of drawing from real pyhsical models. Try to think about why a shadow is placed where it is and why is it shaped so, why so it soft or hard, where the reflected light comes from etc.'. Making an analogy to studying rendering forms and lighting, I was once told: 'mindlessly drawing just what you see won't help you improve your rendering skills for imaginative objects.

I want to have a practical understanding of anatomy, I even bought some books (like Tom Flints & Peter Stayner's anatomy for the artist), but I don't really know how to use them! There are just some cool drawings of people in different poses, but no actual advice on how to practice it and learn it!Д«esides advice on what I should be drawing, I would welcome advice on how I should be drawing. What should I be doing? Drawing skulls and then faces on them? Painting over skulls on faces? Same for figures - should I be drawing bones on photos / well drawn figures? Should I be drawing the pics from anatomy books? Are there any others I should be doing, that I can't even think of right now? Still, I can't apply it to have realistic looking figures and heads. What can I do to help my practical understanding of anatomy and the ability to apply it? I studied some anatomy textbooks and I have an idea of the bones and muscles of the human body, and I can tell the difference between the lats and traps.

More advanced colleagues told me I need to work on my anatomy.Д«ut here's the problem: how do I do that? The figures often look unnatural, twisted, deformed etc. I am painfully aware that nearly all my paintings and drawings seriously lack in terms of proper anatomy.
