Becoming a better artist means knowing how to challenge yourself, and maintaining a positive attitude even when nothing seems to be working out the way you want it to.
This article explores how to push yourself to do things you never thought you could do.

very helpful, awesome!
Honestly. Most of the anatomy tutorials I have seen (and I have seen MANY, on my quest to achieve decent looking drawings) have really "basic" stuff, that may mean something to the actual creator, but really just confused me. This is so clear. The bone structure, the muscle structure, it's all very much needed, and makes a whole lot more sense to me, than anything ever did.
I heart you.

It's a praiseworthy enterprise and you obviously put a lot of work into it, but your own characters suffer from disproportions. It makes it look like you took the info from a book without having a good grounding in it yourself. It'll probably still help people though. Well, good luck onwards!

Illustrators only exaggerate when they have mastered correct proportions. Good exaggeration never looks disproportionate. You can't claim you're teaching people "inexact" proportions, that's ludicrous.

And don't think I'm getting on the defensive, but just because it may not be explained in the most fluid manner in the world, doesn't mean I don't understand it myself. Don't assume you know how I 'grasp' things- you don't know my background in art. As I stated in the very first paragraph of this tutorial, I said I'm not a professional.
And btw, I have read your tutorial and it's very good.... I'm not trying to compete, just doing something that people have asked and what I thought would be helpful- as I have already stated.
