>I wanna improve my anatomy and background work

If you want general anatomy, try Loomis (not meming you here) and medical books. There are a shit ton of resources and tutorials on the internet, way more than what you can find on /ic/.

As for backgrounds, you should probably start drawing from life (eg buildings, parks, cafes). You can get a feel for distance, proportion, and perspective that way.

Never heard of loomis, but I do borrow my brothers medical books for body reference. Its translating it digitally that sucks for me. Hand drawing work is fine and the I work on it in photoshop and it goes to hell.

For anatomy I'd recommend Hampton. I fumbled around with Bridgman and Loomis for a while, but I never really understood the way they brok down forms and made little progress. After I spent some time doing figure studies while reading Hampton it was like a lightbulb went off, Figure Drawing Design and Invention is a really useful book.

If you want to do backgrounds, what >>2945418 said is good advice. Wait until you have a decent feel for just how things are supposed to look before you go nose deep into perspective. Try dissecting the backgrounds of photos and drawings you like to gain a better sense of composition, and draw lots and lots of thumbnails to practice composing environments.
