In this video I talk about how I learned anatomy from Youtube and other free online resources as I redevelop my own figure drawing skills in my sketchbook. I hope this helps anyone looking to improve their anatomy or get started with learning how to draw. YouTube videos and online resources can be a great replacement or supplement for Art school, and I highly recommend checking out the resources down below!
EDIT 11/21/23 Information has come out about Croquis Cafe and some unprofessional business practices and going after customers with false claims. I no longer support Croquis Cafe and will not be renewing my subscription.
