Hero muscles...

You can't fight bad guys unless you have big biceps and a few other oversized muscle groups. Again, there's no need to memorize these. Just familiarize yourself Each group of muscles interlaces with the next group, and so on. I'll go through each individual muscle group step by step in a clear, easy - to - follow method so that you'll get it. "Go slow" is the key to our approach. And note a new point to remember here. The secret to drawing strong characters is threefold: make 'em wide on top, narrow at the waist, and big in the legs. Look to "bunch" the shorter, more compact muscles of the upper torso (the abs, pecs, and delts). Look to create striations (long lines of definition) on the longer, thinner muscles of the legs (the thigh and calf muscles).


P.S. The material is taken from the book "Christopher Hart - Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy."
