Hello.
I'm aware that this sort of topic might have been asked for in the past, but i might have a slightly different perspective on the matter.
I work as a motion graphics designer, and sometimes i like to produce animated illustrations such as the last one i uploaded here on newgrounds (http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/orangewedge/cat-lover-s-psychedelic-dream).
Fortunately i have specialised in a style which usually doesn't require a particular knowledge of the human anatomy, but sometimes i still like to depict human beings (while still retaining my cartoony style) and i always have trouble with non-frontal perspectives.
My current skills allow me to keep working and pursue my passion, and i don't want to become a professional drawer or some sort of a new "Michelangelo", but i'd like to know if you have any suggestions for a quick and easy way to learn basic anatomy and most importantly how to draw the human figure in perspective.
As stated earlier i don't have the time to pursue some deep studies on the matter and, quite frankly, i don't need the specific knowledge of every single detail about the human figure, so a book or a course on youtube will suffice for my needs.
Now i'll give you an example:
Some time ago i produced the illustration i attached to the project (which at this point is still unfinished).
Sure, not my best work, but i kinda like the idea and the whole composition.
That said, you'll probably be able to see that i had some trouble with the character.
I like the design of the character itself but there's something wrong with the pose, but i can't figure out what.
I'd simply like to learn the basics to depict these positions a little bit better in the future.
Huge thanks.
