Get copy of (pic) and look up ecorche on google to learn muscle placement

Watch a lots and lots of exercise, sports, and porn videos to see how muscles move under different motions

Books: Anatomy for Sculptors By Uldis Zarins, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention By Michael Hampton, Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators By Mike Mattesi

Video Courses: Scott Eaton's Anatomy for Artists, Anatomy Workshop Series With Charles Hu (Gnomon Workshop), Villpu Drawing Manual

None of these are in an order that you should do them in but if you do them all you will have a very good understanding of anatomy. I added the videos section because they helped me out the most, specifically Scott Eaton's course.

Realized I forgot to mention a couple other things, Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing From Life. I hesitated to add it onto the list because it requires a very good understanding of anatomy to begin with but if you finish those and you want more it is a great book to read. Something else you may want to consider is learning 3D programs so that you can gain a good foundation for the forms of the body.

>Head anatomy
I strongly recommend The Complete Artist’s Guide to Drawing the Head by William Maughan

indeed, it's good even if you don't care that much about drawing heads as it has solid information about drawing in general, better than a lot of general drawing books for some reason

Netter's anatomy

you'll know everything down to where each artery should be

>>3007656
Actually is one of the shittiest anatomy medical books. I concede that it is beautifully rendered though

>>3007099
Not OP but I have that sitting around for /fit/ shit. Guess I was too retarded to apply it to art. Thanks for reminding me anon.

>>3007825

what? everyone in med school uses Netter's

>>3007656
how is that useful for artists

>>3007053
The books I was assigned in college were "Constructive Anatomy" by Bridgeman, and "Grey's Anatomy", for a class called "Anatomy for Artists", it was half science and half art.
