Resources for learning Art Fundementals

[MediocreMetastasis]

Do you guys know any websites, videos, books, anything for learning art fundamentals like anatomy, color, perspective e.c.t. Preferably resources that have some sort of practice exercise.
For current still level I'd say I'm intermediate atm.

I'm currently practicing anatomic drawing myself and found this helpful in several ways:
https://drawmora.com/how-to-draw-anatomy/

Something I havn't tried myself (yet) but sounds promising:

boxdraw.io - Learn to draw in perfect perspective with BoxDraw's game-based training system. Get instant feedback and master 1, 2, and 3-point perspective drawing.

I found these nice as well:

anatomy:

• anatomy for sculptors - uldis zarins (ignore the title, this is the best anatomy book for all visual artists) (lots of pictures, author has adhd so it's tailored to that)
• morpho: simplified forms - michel lauricella (lots of drawings) (there's multiple books in the series for specific things like fat and skin folds)
• figure drawing: design and invention - michael hampton (good for breaking down anatomy)
• form of the head and neck - uldis zarins (lots of pictures)
• anatomy of facial expression - uldis zarins (lots of pictures)

colour:

• color and light - james gurney
• color - david hornun

value:

• color and light - james gurney (it can go here too)
• light for visual artists - richard yot (plenty of examples and explains different lighting conditions)
• how to render - scott robertson (very good but overwhelming) (sequel to how to draw)

perspective:

• perspective for comic book artists - david chelsea (it's in a comic format, easier to understand)
• perspective made easy - ernest r. norling (what everyone recs, very good, has excercises)
• perspective drawing handbook - joseph d'ame (good to use as reference)
• how to draw - scott robertson (very good but overwhelming, has excercises)

composition:

• framed ink - marcos mateu-mestre
• artists' master series: composition and narrative

online resources:

• https://drawabox.com/ - has excercises, don't force youself to stick to this one if it's a pain
• http://www.huevaluechroma.com/index.php - skim this one, it has more than you will ever need to know about value and colour
• http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm - guide on getting into the mindspace for digital rendering
• http://handprint.com/HP/WCL/water.html - this is a site on watercolours, but it has a bunch of articles on the fundamentals, including the most comprehensive perspective guide that tells you how to calculate the arc on a rainbow

Thanks. I'll look into everything you provided.

• anatomy for sculptors - uldis zarins (ignore the title, this is the best anatomy book for all visual artists) (lots of pictures, author has adhd so it's tailored to that)

Man why is the book I want to read the most doesn't have a free online version and is the most expensive book out of the ones you provided

There is a version of it available on Scribd.com if I remember correctly

My biggest recommendation for any artist wanting to practice figure fundamentals in particular is life drawing, I'm always building my list of good resources for that if anyone knows of others. The two sites I would recommend for life drawing right now are line of action: https://line-of-action.com/ and bodies in motion: https://bodiesinmotion.photo/# (both of which have an exercise where you can set a timer and draw a series of images for certain amounts of time). I feel like you can absorb a lot of fundamental knowledge while life drawing, especially how things look in perspective.

Those two are my faves because they're free but there are some great paid options out there too. I also want to say that you can find pdfs of the book 'Morpho: fat and folds' online if you have a cursory look (I just checked and it was mentioned above, I second it as a recommendation!). I think it's a great resource but never as valuable as drawing real models of all sizes. Real life classes are fantastic if you have the means but online resources are so helpful for everyone with a screen.

My other best practice for getting more comfortable with drawing in general is to take a sketchbook to a public place and sketch the people + creatures + buildings you see. It's good to pair freeform sketching like this with fundamental studying so you don't feel so stiff and boxed in while your head is full of perspective cubes and stuff. It's also a great challenge to speed up your drawing and ensure you're not spending ages on one practice drawing! It's a good exercise for feeling less precious about your art (imagine yourself as a monk drawing in the sand and letting the tide wash your drawing away... but you get to keep it this time). I hope these are helpful :) I could yap forever about this.
