I am here, because a couple of anons are complaining about how bad my drawing skills are in /dbg/ threads on /vg/, I have been trying to get better, but my anatomy knowledge hasn't improved one bit. I used to have a working graphic tablet but it stopped working in mid-July for a reason I still haven't figured out. So I've been sticking to draw on paper.
Just trace from the manga. /dbg/ won't notice.

Well when it's not lewd, I usually try to get references from screenshots
I also have the problem with the chicken scratches because I tend to be nervous while drawing my lines, drawing is supposed to be a relaxing activity. So why is that when I draw, I tend to do chicken scratches?
Rrad sticky you dumb faggot

Okay, now start actually doing the exercises in the books. Reading is not enough.

you aren't taking the time to understand the basic structures behind your references.
look at her ribcage- its wider than her shoulders! take some time to look at your references and identify each part of the body as you draw it

dude get some anatomy book. draw muscles and bones.. and stop with the goddamn manga, just cuz i find it inferior. Kinda kidding. Also, just sit down and cover whole page in lines, like you would shade with a pen. Do a couple of dozens in each direction. I covered many pieces of paper this way, you gotta train your hand so it becomes natural.

That doesn't mean that I don't want to improve. I don't have money.
I did read this link: http://hubpages.com/art/how-to-draw-learn BEFORE posting.

There's plenty of anatomy resources online. They prolly won't be as good as a text book, but you could probably improve by reading books from the sticky.
Do some gesture and construction.

So should I just let this thread die and get in the beginners thread?
