It's about repetition. If you draw the muscles, bones and skeletons enough, it sticks in your mind. Using pictures to remember is the most effective way to learn something, and drawing them will help more than just reading or looking.

I can draw a whole skeleton pretty flawlessly, as can most experienced artists; It's all about repeating yourself until you become so sick of it that you do it without thinking.

Cool drawings, how long are you drawing?
Ohh and i was thinking to start drawing too but not sure if i should start with paper or a drawing tablet for PC?
Know any drawing tablets for beginners? I found one but not sure if its too small nor good.

i started drawing october 2014. most people recommend starting to draw with a pencil and paper and moving on from there, but i'd say just do whatever you want to do.
if you're looking for a tablet i'd recommend the wacom bamboo capture or wacom pen&touch small

Drawing with a tablet doesn't make you a better artist, so many artists make that mistake. It's just another tool, like using pastels or charcoal. Learn the basics of drawing - anatomy, portraiture, landscapes.

I've seen myself as an artist since I could hold a pencil properly, at age 1. If you have the drive to be an artist, then starting traditionally is the best way to cultivate your skills.
