Description Not exactly a full tutorial but this is pretty much the gist of it. Only leave the important lines or the ones that suggest shape depending on how much you want to simplify it.

This really depends on how realistic you want to draw. I recommend learning anatomy then simplifying just so you know how all the muscles, joints work etc. This will give you a better understanding of making poses and anatomy look more convincing.

Hope this is helpful

Since I've been practicing the male form, and all this,
Would you mind if I drew the poses from this?

Anbu-Iro In reply to Eninaj27 [2012-04-26 14:41:13 +0000 UTC]

Just go to your local library, and pick up an anatomy book with lots of models in it. Looking at bone and muscle structure and finding a way that works for you is the best approach to learning anatomy. Maybe practice drawing nude models? Classes like that aren't too expensive.
Copying another artist's way of drawing may seem the best way, but don't you want your own style?

Eninaj27 In reply to Anbu-Iro [2012-04-26 14:59:01 +0000 UTC]

Yupp, I want to improve in anatomy but want keep my own style. It's difficult to use true human anatomy and transport it into cartoonic stuff. So I wonder if you know a special good book. I searched for one at amazon but poorly didn't find something helpful.
