Learning anatomy? One thing: O b s e r v a t i o n a l D r a w i n g s.
Google images of what you're trying to draw, and reference off of them. I used pen and only pen to do my drawings. You need to make mistakes, and that's the most important part. Just do multiple drawings in pen. I liked to sketch in red, detail in blue, and used black for the main lines. It really helps.
Also, I use thick, gummed watercolour paper for my paints. And I can send you an amazon link to the sketchbooks I always get; they're great for watercolour, inks, textiles, anything. |

I personally just use whatever pencil I find, it's usually a mechanical pencil, so just really whatever you think works best for you. For markers, I recommend Ohuhu if you just want some decent alcohol based markers. I usually dont use watercolors, so i dunno, just find something of reasonable price, but still decent quality.
Honestly just look up tutorials on Youtube on watercolor tips.
Use a reference for anatomy, you can just look them up or use a pose generator to just help you get some more weird poses and know how to do them if you need to, it helps.
Practice a lot of animating, just use a free app (I used Flipaclip) just to know the basics, and read or watch some examples of the 12 basic principles of animation.
For detail, use other artists as reference to see what they do to make things detailed, either shading, or whatever.
Digital coloring, make sure if you're using layers, keep track of them and make sure you aren't on the wrong one. If not, know what colors going on top of what. Also, make a swatch of what colors you use as you go on and erase them at the end if you want, or just keep them. |

Okay, I went out of my comfort zone and did this, capturing muscle structure and detail. ^^
