Find a good book, and then copy every single drawing from that chapter. Don't skip a single one and do your best. It's gonna suck, but it's better than trying to figure shit out for yourself. This is from the book "Human anatomy for artists xiao weichun", and it's fucking good. Here, it shows how to simplify the structure of the arm.

Pyw. How did you become good, then?

Life drawing and basic construction, with a bit of anatomy after I could do gestures. Muscles are constantly changing, so learning all the muscles can't help you unless you know how they change dynamically.

i used that book to learn and brush up on shit too, i would just skip to whatever chapter which had a topic that i needed atm
also dont be scared to fw some internet tutorials those are usually short sweet and to the point
i prefer the writen ones or the visual guides

btw OP. what in particular are you having issues with in relation to the human arm?
>>
>>7722899
I wonder what your intent is for the pose? Is she just cautiously holding it, or is she winding up to swing it? The context matters in correcting the pose i think.

Shes winding up to swing it

Try working on your gestures. It's quite stiff. Here's a three minute doodle in paint to show what I mean. There's no wind-up before release in your drawing.

>>7722899
Try using stick men to get the pose down then copy the pose with your final drawing.

What I found out the easiest is doing the poses, taking pictures of myself with my phone and cartoonize/simplify the photo with AI tools

Tried to show you what I mean here.

On the very left is the "stick man" we'll use to get the basic pose. If this pose is fucked, the drawing will be fucked. It's just a guide, however. You can see I deviate a bit from it in the later few iterations.

Build it out off the stick figure. This should help you get what you want. As someone above mentioned you can practice gesture drawing to get these stick people to be more fluid and add more life to the drawing. I hope this helps!

Above all, HAVE FUN otherwise whats the fuckin' point!
