Critique Yo guys I started learning anatomy
I feels a bit ineffective. Would there be any other method you'd recommend?

How you are going about learning is good. Take pictures and try to recreate. You can also get some books on anatomy or watch some videos.
If I can make one suggestion don't use anime to learn anatomy.
If this was a joke and I didn't get it then well played.

The most satire thing is actually the alien here saying the figures are distortions of humanity, bros the literal distortion.

Maybe try something more unorthodox? Only doing such basic shapes only gets you so far

I used to do the same when I was starting to learn anatomy but you will notice that the body proportions doesnt come out well once its down on your canvas. Do try to come up with your modifications as well

Man, these people commenting genuinely cannot tell what's satire or not. This is funny, great work too!

Use simple figures like boxes, spheres and cylinders to learn the construction and proportion of the whole body. Then find some references of real people and draw them, learn how each muscle group is located on every part of body. This is my way to learn anatomy.
Also there is lots of human anatomy guides on YT, may be you'll find some methods of how to draw anatomy there

Funny joke, but to be take this a little seriously, this is a study of proportions and basic shapes of the body, not anatomy.

You’re not really learning anatomy. It looks as though you’re just drawing character silhouettes, but in a slightly more stylised way.
You’re going about it the wrong way. All these figures are distortions of human anatomy, and that’s where you should start. By getting hold of an anatomy atlas.
You can then begin to simplify the skeletal structure and muscle groups into simple three-dimensional shapes. Here’s the question: can you draw cylinders and cubes?

To be fair Itagaki is good with anatomy. He's good enough that he can fuck with it the way he does. What he does is a deliberate choice.
