Now assuming you kids don't bleed from the eyeballs while reading this wall of text, here's a long-awaited tutorial about anatomy... or at least what I think I know about it. I feel kind of unworthy to be the person making it since I've never been to art school and drawing is just a self-employed hobby of mine. I don't pretend to be a master of the arts.
However! Since I've been asked a many times before, and just recently, I finally decided to buckle down and make some form of coherent "notes" over what I do know. I hope this series helps you guys more than it confuses. I would hate to confuse you all. And just for the record, here's some other EXCELLENT tutorials not made by me that probably explain the subject a lot better than I ever could (and from probably more professional artists than myself)

It's kind of wrong that I now want to see you do tall and heavy and short and athletic?

I think out of the whole tutorials the advice (closing thoughts) at the bottom are the most valuable

Thanks so much! It was really helpful! I, like you, am a self-taught hobbyist/artist as well. I read from some resources to start off with simplified skeletons, but this didn't always work for me. Then I found out about using blocks and circles. Sometimes, one may not work or I will prefer one over the other based on what I'm drawing. I realized that it's best to use whatever you feel will get the job done. Because of you, I have hope in my endeavors to continue drawing ^_^
