Answer 8

learning anatomy (or proportions in general) is very important for creating proportional drawings. for example, if you want to learn to draw a person, you need to know the basic proportions (a human is about 7.5 heads tall, your elbows fall naturally at about the waistline, etc.) otherwise the quality of the art will suffer. once an artist has a good grasp of the fundamentals, they can start changing/exaggerating proportions, but the fundamentals still need to be there

Answer 9

for example, in this drawing her spine is bent at a 90 degree angle which looks very unnatural and takes away from an otherwise decent piece
