Help me with anatomy tips, guys!!!

I see a lot of you here draw humannns, and I want some tips, if you don't mind. ;v;

Well, something that helps me is those line to circle things. Like, draw the head and whatnot, the make a line for the neck, a straight line vertically for the shoulders (add circles at the end), etc etc. But other then that, look at yourself in the mirror and see the lengths of your arms/legs maybe. :0

urk.. I feel like anatomy is my weakest link...

But the best piece of advice that I've received is to practice drawing from real life -- like people eating during lunch or walking by in the mall. It doesn't have to be a perfect sketch. Just get some general idea of proportions and what not. Posemaniacs.com has an exercise that makes you draw different poses in under 30 seconds with that idea in mind. If you want to fiddle with nitty gritty details, use yourself as the model in front of a mirror.

Of course, guidelines help to keep everything balanced, but general knowledge of human anatomy will always be necessary. (I'm still working on it...) Taking an anatomy class would be a bonus, but not all of us have that kind of leisure / ambition.

I hope this helps!! ...and I love those details you put on his fingers and toes XD
