Morning!

I have been getting into drawing recently, complete beginner and loving it. I have been working through drawabox which I find to be a really helpful source of information. However I want to learn to draw humans/anatomy but am struggling to find a good concise source. Sure there seems to be plenty of books and youtube videos but none seem to take you from no experience to competent in a straightforward way like drawabox.

Can anyone give me any ideas for a course/book/video which could teach me this please?

Back in Lesson 0, I actually provide some suggestions for courses on New Masters Academy that can help a great deal. You can find them here (both in the video for that section and in the grey box below it).

The one that I personally would recommend is Steve Huston's Art Anatomy for Beginners, because it teaches in a way that is extremely similar to the manner I was taught when I took Analytical Figure Drawing with Kevin Chen at Concept Design Academy. The approach used there made an enormous difference for me, and paired very well with what I was learning at the time in another course, Dynamic Sketching (which became one of the major foundations for what Drawabox is today).

That said, since this subreddit is reserved for questions and homework submissions relating directly to the Drawabox course, I'd recommend that you ask this question in a more general subreddit where the people there will have been exposed to a greater variety of resources, and thus will have more varied recommendations. You can try over on /r/learnart, /r/learntodraw, and /r/artistlounge.
