QOTD Day 7: did you learn anatomy for girls or boys first? A lot of beginners can only do one, did you go thru this phase or did you learn both at about the same time? How did you learn anatomy ie books, videos, self taughtJul 17, 2021

Got to learn the rules in order to break them 👍
IRL photos are best references I use personally
I started off with stick figures Lol but went into drawing females more than makes but I try with males
I started off with girls but I can do both now, if there is one thing I have learned whilst learning anatomy it’s using references helps SO much but I’m still working on it. I’m gonna start muscle structure soon hopefully
I learned girls first also because I thought since I’m a girl I should start with girls and use myself as reference as needed if I had a brother or something to use as a lab rat then maybe I’d do boys first but I don’t have a brother sooo. I learned from videos and looking at other peoples drawings as photography.
At first I learned girls but then I starting drawing boys more and now I don't know how girls work- though im slowly learning again
Boys first, I learned by videos.
I started out with girls, tried my hand at drawing boys, went back to boys and now am slowly warming up to being able to do both >w<"

Kind of self taught anatomy. I did have old anatomy books in my room since I can think but have barely looked at them ^-^"
The old anatomy poster I recently got and just staring at humans, pictures, photos in general as well as the basics be were taught in biology class is what I rely on most.
I know a lot more about girls, since i like drawing them more and i’m a girl myself. Soo i often use myself to look for things i didn’t notice about anatomy before. But other then that i mostly use gesture drawing photos. And those are always mixed with men and woman so i try to learn both with that
I don't have any patience to do anatomy (bones, flesh, muscles) i just do it as simple as i can do
I never learned anatomy I just drew
Both. I drew more female characters more often when I was really little and more men when I grew up bc that's what I'm attracted to.
I’m teaching myself both rn. I’m a beginner so I’m not very good at either yet 😅
