learn human anatomy ?
I want to ask all artists. 🙂 What was the best way you learned draw human body? I got 2 books but it seems impossible to learn all muscles and bones. Do you think you learn better if you read books, or just look at pictures and learn by them(draw at looking at pictures)? Also, im drawing digitally, and I got problem with symmetry, my drawings look always asymmetric, how I can improve?

medical resources may be best for specific anatomy, for drawing it may be better to visualize parts, than to read descriptions, those descriptions come from visualization of parts,
from that you could find local medical center and get permissions to view cadavers hands on with assistance, or science lab with specimens of those parts,
with that you may want to look at other species as apes, monkeys , birds an fish, and research historically or genetically through archaeological archives, all human diversities, Neanderthal, Asian, African, male , female,

an informative book with Illustrations, its a book doctors use , its called Gray’s autonomy
I work as a medical illustrator which draws on human anatomy both accuracy and forensics. early on, I took an anatomy class in community college where I learned proportion and posing in addition to medical facts about how muscles and bones work. I also bought an anatomy textbook to browse and study the body in greater depth:

This is important for realism and accuracy, whether as a medical illustrator, sketch artist or animator.
The key to drawing humans is observation and lighting. Look at how the body "flows" as it stretches, expands, bends and twists.
It’s the artist’s eye along with anatomical accuracy that gets you the desired result. The same ideas of traditional figure drawing carry forward to digital anatomy drawing as well.
