How to really learn anatomy

It feels like no matter how anatomy I learn; I'm still not where I really want to be with it.

It's very hard to accurately do it from imagination for me despite all of the simplification of the muscles I've seen.

This is how I create my muscles without a reference. They're very inaccurate. This is prior to deconstructing the forms of muscles I've seen from photographs.

I've been told I need more fundamental practice, but I'm not exactly sure how you can get better at 3D visualization aside from life-drawing.

Is it a matter of mileage?

Would this be a correct way to learn the construction of anatomical features?

considering how shitty your drawing is, i would say no

Where should I start from?
What makes the picture so bad?

You learned your basic anatomy alright, but you forgot an important thing: perspective and form. Your understanding of form is weak and your muscles perspectives don't follow the larger planes. Work on proportions, placement, perspective.

Thank you.

One more thing, how do I strengthen my understanding of form?

I do a lot of life drawing, and I'll get good at it, but then it'll immediately disappear once I stop to go study something else.

Do the exercises.

Read Hogarth.

I thought I had brought my form up to speed by running through Draw-a-box about a year ago.

I didn't know it slips like crazy if you don't maintain it.

you could always learn to draw rather than memorizing quote unquote anatomy. you can't honestly tell me you look at that mess of lines and circles vaguely shaped like the human body that you are passing off as informed practice and think it looks good you fucking suck cock fuck sucker

I know, that's why I'm going back to learning how to draw.

I thought I was good on 3D thought because I would hit the same forms Michael Hampton was hitting.

I was totally wrong.

It has recently gotten very hard after I've learned muscles and insertions since I've been neglecting it like crazy.

I guess I'll just blow 20 hours studying it again.

Hey fuck you you stupid ugly worthless garbage human. Don't talk to people like that you self loathing dissapointment. That's taking it too far you bag of smegma scrapings. No one wants you aroudn you're worthless, have no talent nd you can barely even draw. You're literally nothing. You are a nothing.

Also yeah you need to work on your form OP. You bitch.

I think the most important thing for learning anatomy is to be able to draw the skeleton well.
And I mean really well. You should be able to draw any bone at any angle from imagination rather accurately.
The skeleton is the foundation of the body, so it should be the foundation of your drawing.
If you can draw the skeleton well the rest should be very easy to learn.
