Learning to draw human anatomy

[Whatdoiknow]

I used to draw and paint when I was younger and even attended several art classes. It's been quite a few years since then.

I want to pick it up again. The catalyst being studying human anatomy. It's not that I want to pick it up again to use in learning the anatomy. It's just that looking at those drawings and paintings in the textbooks and atlases rekindled my interest, I suppose.

Do any of you happen to know any good online, or even print, resource that can teach one that? Especially free or cheaper ones.

*I can actually still do it fairly well. Problem is I've forgotten quite a few techniques, like scaling (?) (don't even know the word) structures relative to one another properly, so it takes quite a long time.

**I do have a Surface, so resources related to using that would be very cool.

you can search youtube for loads of tutorials on drawing. I thought of doing something similar when I was in med school, but it was always too time-consuming for me personally. An alternative I used was the netter's anatomy coloring book. Had the same visual learning feel, but I didn't have to take the time to draw them out. Just a suggestion if you want to streamline things a bit. They have PDF versions as well I think so that you can draw onto it with your surface.

I have this book and like it, there's plenty of others out there including online courses and videos
