Hello! I just wanted to ask as a beginner artist if I should start with the anatomy course or with the figure drawing course

I'd like to add that Stan has recommended 2 weeks maximum on each module in one of his courses, regardless of if you feel comfortable with the material in that module or not (cited from the Draftsmen podcast). This is to prevent getting stuck in one module for months trying to perfect it, which is counterproductive.
And as Lincoln said, Figure drawing first, then anatomy. It's actually better to probably do both at the same time, with some proportion like 90% figure drawing 10% anatomy, but focus primarily on figure drawing

As a beginner It's recommended on the proko site to start with the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course if you had to choose between the two. You can see it's answered here: https://www.proko.com/getting-started
If you're a complete beginner I'd also recommend looking into DrawABox to get some structured training for basic shapes, forms, perspective. Besides courses though I would say just try to get into a habit of drawing regularly and for fun as well. Don't want to burn yourself out on homework/courses where art turns into a chore.

Figure drawing for sure, but if you are qurious about anatomy no one is going to stop you enjoying it.
I think that this course can be a little advance if you are a total beginner. I think it can be a good idea to learn some general fundamentals first. I think that a good place to being is the Draw a Box and around the Lesson 3 in that course you have enough fundamentals down to begin with this course.

Stan Prokopenko said on The Draftsmen that a beginner should definitely do the figure drawing course first.
The description of the Anatomy course says "In the Figure Drawing course you learned a lot of core concepts of drawing the figure..." so it looks like Proko expects us to start with Figure Drawing.
