How should a /beg/ go about learning anatomy?
I feel like if I'm going to start with learning how to draw all of the major muscles and bones it will bog me down and make me unable to draw bodies for the next couple of years, however without knowing at least some of those major muscles and how they work in a body will make my bodies look off.
Should I go with figure drawing? Or gesture drawing? What's the difference between the two? People seem to use these terms interchangeably.
And if not either of those, should I try to copy references from pinterest and other sources? Feels like I'll just be learning how to copy references, if I don't know what I'm trying to draw in the first place.
Like, is there a way to learn how to draw basic bodies with passable proportions so that I can build on that and develop my knowledge further by seeing which body parts are lacking?
Posting my most recent drawing, eyeballed pretty much everything, I know it's off but I quite like it!
