For as long as I can remember, the bigest problem that I have had with drawing human anatomy, is how flat my final turned out looking. No mater what angle I would try to draw a picture from, and no matter how I shaded it, it looked flat. Ever since i have learned the basic shapes of the bones, and the muscle structure around it, it has become less and less flat. I never thought that drawing simple geometric shapes, and attaching muscles to the simple shapes would help so much.
Below, is an example of what i'm talking about. One the left, is a picture i drew in first term. (pre anatomy class) Even with the character rotated in 4 different ways, the drawing is still flat, and dosen't pop out at you at all. On the right however, is a drawing i did starting with simple geometric shapes, and from there i added the muscles to it. although I like the stylized comic style look, the more structural drawing that i did makes alot more sence. Its strange looking back and seeing how little I knew about how a person was actually put together....
