Do i need to actually learn how to draw bones?

I mean, i should know how some bones and muscles connect and the bones that you can actually see protuding on the skin, but do i actually need to know how to draw the fucking pelvis to make it?

uh at some point you will in order to make your art look better. i honestly think its very essential once youre reaching higher /int/ levels and that you cant really get to that point without some solid knowledge on bones.

Isn't the shortcuts really apparent on Prokos or other artist that uploads unedited drawing process? The fuck are you going to do with wasted tine drawing skel form?

It's not so much about being able to draw the fine anatomy, like the linea aspera or bicipital groove etc. But being able to visualize the bones onto a body, drawn or real, helps tremendously in developing a figure even from reference. I reached a certain point where I just couldn't draw and analyze the way I wanted to because I'd only studied muscles.
Pelvis is a real kick in the balls though. If you can draw that ridiculously complicated thing at various angles, you'll learn a ton from doing so. The point of such study is simplification in the end. Do the hard work so you know how to locate the ASIS, PSIS, sacrum, ilia etc at a glance.
I wouldn't recommend going too deep into as a beginner.
