No prob anon, I said this before, even when we all kinda hate "cape shit", we gotta admit that there's a deep and rich, but specially EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE, artistic legacy in that classic genre. "Classic super hero comics" turned the effective and dynamic depiction of the "ideal" human figure, right into a science. Because it became a huge global business, so it was serious shit to professionalize at an industrial level the art creation of that genre.
In your head it is already embedded the recognizable poses and shapes of superheroes, if you see the silhouette of Wolverine, even when you don't know muscles, you recognize their shape, deltoids, forearms, traps, lats. It's a HUGE advantage to jump into that already built "knowledge" in your head
You won't be wrong to look for classic comics and use them to build your own learning on anatomy. Those guys, "professional myths" already did all the hard work, utilizing the ideal human form accurately in many iconic poses. There is a known book https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayQsCau0hj8 everyone mention, but I've never had that book, I just had the comic books, that's better and more fun to go through looking for cool stuff to learn from.
Now I know what you're thinking "cape shit" "come on man", Yeah, I now, you could say that most asian and european comic art has much more sovl and appeal than the american comic scene, but the thing is, in order to play with gesture and stylized appeal as Asians do, you have to know the human anatomy, and American CLASSIC super hero comics does that for you, it teaches you anatomy easy and effectively. You need to develop a human stylized anatomy in your head. Classic american superhero comics, they look rough and boring, but those are all accurate beautiful figures done professionally and effectively. Then you can get into other stuff like "Anatomy for Artists Drawing Form with Tomfoxdraws"
I did picrel in a few minutes, just basic capeshit
