I just want good basics for drawing bodies at least.
Not searching for Perfect anatomy or learning complex stuff like muscles and the skeleton, I need to start small.
And then I can build up to that stuff.
Im getting Very bored of Videogames, They are becoming literally all the same, and even worse, just...boring.
I LOVE action Games, I love my Ninja Gaidens, I Love my Devil May Cry, Ive always loved Call of Duty, Im a huge fan of Tekken....but alot of videogames lately among other games have just been...again, boring. And mismanaged. And even when I have time to play games...I feel like I just dont want to play games hardly anymore.
And often, I get very inspired and get cool art ideas from the videogames, I find myself looking at the design of things more then wanting to play the games....
So, I think its about time I find a new way to waste my time, I want to get back into drawing, and actually getting some REAl practice in. I may not get to the high level that the many artist I watch are at.....but, I want to get into Mild designing, but also be able to draw up things. For fun, and for practice
I could use it for Art examples to, because, I still plan to get commissions. But this will also be a great means of making my own examples and references instead of feverishly reference hunting on google and stuff like I always do.
So again, just looking for some recommendations for just...simple stuff like drawing bodies. And just themost simple basic stuff.
I dont want to draw or Paint studies of statues, I want to Create.
I dont want to imitate life, I want to Create it.....in artistic expression.
Anybody?

A Million thanks for the recommendation.
Because the ONLY good thing covid game me, was a temp love of Cooking.
A lot of people swear by proko's videos though. I think their gesture drawing video might be in the vein of what you're looking for since its not focused on learning anatomy and moreso for drawing the body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKi3-fe1GC4
Because this leans in the vein of me being able to draw my own references, which could slowly also turn into me drawing for myself in the future.
So, this is very Valuable.
Thank You for the recommendation
OK, Ill try my best!

Its mostly a British website but I'm sure its open to people from across the globe.
And, unless Im skimming to fast, or not looking hard enough, Im not seeing anything on Drawing. I see lots of History in Arts and Critical thinking...but not drawing necessarily.
I dont want to imitate life, I want to Create it...
I might be misunderstanding this, but it sounds like you don't want to do studies from static reference. But that's the best way to learn.
Learning to accurately draw what you see is the foundation of everything in most arts. The people you see apparently drawing from imagination, without reference, are doing so on the back of thousands of hours of practice, usually with reference. 👀
Things they typically want you to do in Art Classes. Just replicating something.
I understand what its attempting to teach you, but Im more interested in learning the BARE basics 1st, just being able to draw a body. What you learn from Statues and people, is how to draw folds, trying to capture the body in its most natural form and all its imperfections.
I get all that and it would be useful....LATER.
