When Proko mentioned that it might get a little complicated in the forearm muscles, I already broke out in cold sweat since I personally found the Biceps and Triceps to be not as easy as I imagined. So when starting this lesson I was kind of overwhelmed at the number of muscles in the forearm. Even after rewatching the lesson and having multiple attemps at the assignment, I am still unsure what exactly to look for. Who could have thought that the forearm is so complicated? Anyways, this is my homework for the Forearm Lesson.

Look I think this lesson is the one I have done the most exercises on ever! I didn't have as much difficulty with the scapulas either!!! The other lessons? Oh cool, yeah I think I got it! This one? "Oh my God, I have a muscle left over." Joking aside, your assignments look pretty good to me, clear, clean and checking them with an anatomical model they look quite correct too. I'm just a bit puzzled about the last drawing, the outstretched arm with the twist and the fist under stress. I see that you have deleted some parts that I think were correct, a tendon and the final part of the muscle in correspondence of the little finger, probably the problem is all there but I do not remember the reference and I would have to see it to tell you for sure.

Your homework looks really nice! The forearms are definitely a difficult part of the anatomy with all the little muscles and how that part of the arm pronates and supinates. I think the muscles are overall reading really well and that you're on the right track! I found it helpful especially with the forearms to memorize where the muscle originates and inserts. That way when the arm is twisted or at some other angle I'm able to more easily identify which muscle is which.

Hi! This is my first assignment like this, I've always been tracing on the photos before. Tried to put all the bony landmarks and basic shapes of the muscles first. Thank you in advance for your feedback! p.s. decided not to do all the shadows, as I believe it could distract me :)

Very nice assignments. If you're studying the upper back remember to include the rhomboids. I see them peeking in the first drawing, but I'm not seeing them in the last figure. Be mindful of them, or else you'll be confused by their bumps when they're active. About not doing the shadows, if they're confusing you, it's ok if you ignore them for now. But as you're studying anatomy I'd like to suggest you try using cross contour lines to indicate the form of the muscles. Even if you're not shading it's important to understand the 3-d form of the muscle and not only its shape so you can draw it from any angle. Also knowing if something is flatter or rounder will make it easier when or if you decide to shade. Best regards

Hi Proko! I've tried to do the assignment from the upper angle, so I really hope that I got foreshortening right.

Looks pretty good to me! If anything I would love to see more refined line work with the muscle fibers to indicate smoother flow and clear volume ✌🏻
