For this weeks assignment we were tasked with studying the anatomy of the human body, however unlike the previous assignment which tasked us with studying the skeletal anatomy we we instructed to study the muscular side of the human body. Below are my sketches of the muscles of the Head, Torso, Arms, Legs and finally the full body front and back.
The muscles wrapping the face are: the Temporalis, Procerus, Occipito-frontalis, Orbicularis Oculi/Oris, Masseter, Mentalis, Platysma and the Sternomastoid.
With this sketch I tried to reduce the number of outlines drawn and create the shape purely through pencil strokes and shading. The muscles of the abdomen are a layer resting between the rib-cage/vital organs and the skin.
I found it interesting to see such a major nerve and ligament be left exposed at the back of the knee joint, although it makes sense as muscle would get in the way of the bend. I like these sketches, in terms of basic shape I feel as though I caught the image of the leg correctly however they suffer due to a fair lack of shading, something I am trying to improve upon, especially in Life Drawing.
This sketch is not one of my best, I struggle to draw side by side like this mainly due to lack of practise as it's not a way I am used to drawing. However I was able to sketch in the muscles in their correct locations.
I have to say the individual muscle sketches I made before the final one turned out far better.
