REFLECTION

It is a long process of unlearning existing pre-assumption before learning the "correct"  form of anatomy. Sometimes even with close observation of anatomy references, my muscle memory could not register the correct form and I ended up drawing an inaccurate anatomy form that I've been used to drawing. Sometimes, it is hard to portray the correct anatomy of a body type that is different from the body type in the references provided, as I have to imagine how it would be logically. The class materials provided the foundational information, but the rest is up to me to collect more references on Pinterest. Overall, doing anatomy studies allowed me to visualise better in a 3D form, which helped with my 2D drawings slowly.
