I’m not sure my dash has like a group of guys talking about stuff you never want to hear your flatmate say and I have no idea how anyone is supposed to get anything with that. DX
Learning anatomy drawing is important. Period. Whatever you plan to draw and however you plan to draw it you need to have an idea of what it actually looks like, practice in realism, before you plan to move on to creative interpretation.
Here are examples of all different kinds of athletic body types to illustrate the importance of knowing what sort of “built” look you will need to go for when drawing and designing a character. Not all fit is the same fit and it is so hard to find adequate variety when looking for references. These were linked by a talented comic artist Nina Matsumoto.

I would like to bring this back around to my blog now that more people are around, I guess.
This is an incredibly good body reference that shows even athletic builds can vary to a really impressive extent depending not only on the individual, but what they’ve trained themselves to be great at.
Look at how different and fantastic these bodies are. Humans are just amazing.
