_{edit: oh my god i cant believe how many views this has. thank you!!! - ash

due to illness and the incredibly short time span we were given, i was unable to conjure an anatomy tutorial of my own for our last day
to make up for this, i have created a large list of tutorials and references for you to use!!
i tried my best to credit all of the creators, but some were just impossible to find, so i apologize! unu

if you'd like i could also add in some pixel art and animation tutorials (since i know they were requested before)!
