Human Anatomy for Artist - Ultra High Resolution Human Photo References How to create dynamic drawings from reference | Illustration Don't actually copy your reference, use it as a guide. I know this can be daunting when you're just starting out, but the key to creating a dynamic pose from a model or photo is being comfortable pushing, stretching and moving bits around to make the drawing say what you want. Hone your Illustrator skills with these brilliant tutorials Part of this is just something that will come with time as you build up figure drawing mileage, but knowing what to strive for is half the battle. The first sketch I've made – the left-hand one of the two drawings above – is a direct copy of the reference photo.

Artistic Anatomy Is learning to draw anatomy in a classroom more secure (since there is a teacher to check the work and possibly a book to study from) in practicing artistic anatomy drawing, or should artists focus on just practicing from images on websites/blogs like this tumblr? Asketh - pjmx24 Depending on the size of your class and where you are, your teacher can be a great guide to help you and show you what areas you need to focus on more to improve and give you good material to work from! If your class size is too big (ideally a class of no more than 15 is optimal for a teacher to give extensive feedback to all students) you might not get enough feedback to really improve as much as possible to your full potential. Outside of class (or if you have no class) you should focus on drawing in a sketchbook dedicated for life drawing/anatomy. Hope that gives you some insight!
