I got through random suggestions that should teach me how a basic human body should be reproduced, i tried figure study but i had no idea where the rib cage and so on should start or end, so I tried tracing on top of them, and still I felt lost.

I do not understand the body parts even if the person is completely naked, the meat and the musculature make it impossible to identify those shapes.

This was a previous attempt that got corrected by someone else on this site, https://imgur.com/He41wkx, I saw that there were some points i should use to identify those things, yet it doesn't work when i do it. I just cannot see through people, even when i feel it, the anatomy takes a completely unrealistic shape and I do not know how am I supposed to do.

Thanks for the tip but what am i going to do with a whole skeleton, drawing bone after bone? it was feasible enough with the rib cage, how can i even learn to draw the lovcraftian monster that is the skull , like i can't even visualize it as a shape

Hi, i came here with my newest problem i must resolve. I just saw some sort of weird video where dudes that never drew in their lives were capable to make more progress than anyone else in 100 days more easely than a lot of artists, so people that reacted to the content that are also pros at that said a thing about finding their own percorse and making it likable for them.

I've been grappling with this dilemma myself lately. Is finding a structured course for learning to draw even feasible? I resonate so much with what you said. Whenever I attempt to draw something I'm passionate about or envision in my mind, my lack of technical knowledge becomes glaringly evident, stifling my progress. But then, when I try to dive into the basics, I find myself losing interest quickly, and before I know it, I've abandoned the whole endeavor altogether. It's like a constant tug-of-war between my desire to create and the daunting task of mastering the fundamentals. Does anyone else feel this way or have any advice on how to navigate this frustrating cycle?

I just watched the video, but honestly, I didn't understand it at all. It's frustrating how it makes everything look so easy when in reality, it's anything but. It's like they're breezing through complex concepts as if they're second nature, leaving me feeling even more confused. Sometimes, these videos can be misleading, giving the impression that mastering something is effortless when, in truth, it takes time, effort, and often multiple attempts to grasp. It's important to remember that behind the polished presentation lies the struggle and hard work that goes into truly understanding and mastering a subject.

i drew an other set of rib cages https://imgur.com/a/GwCi1co

I am putting my first attempt here because i didn't have got recieved comments on it yet https://line-of-action.com/forums/topic/rib-cage-perspective-and-shadows-practice

I don't post on my sketchbook, i post them on imgur link. To me and many others the link works, I have no idea why you can't see it. Perhaps it is a bug of the site or something

I decided to delve into the territory of the anatomy, starting with one of the easiest parts i can remember: the ribcage.

there was a video that explained how to draw the rib cage and it had a link where you could take a 3d reference of a sculpture.
