This site can help you a lot regarding anatomy/figure drawing.
You might have heard this a lot but it's just a matter of practicing, a lot.
| i can definitely say trying to copy other artists' highly stylized anatomy without knowing jack shit abt real anatomy is not the way to so it
| always reference real life. if you need help with poses, look up photos or ask someone to model a bit. I had to take a picture of a hand to draw a grip correctly.
| ^ learning from references is good. gesture drawing is less of anatomy i'd say- it's like training "oh i know how the form of a natural body should be in various poses" rather than details of the body itself (since you really shouldn't bother with details when it comes to gesture drawing). not saying gesture drawing is bad, but for the detailed bits of anatomy for things you'd do best learning from references
| draw from life. foreshortening is a BITCH in particular.
