Study forearm assignment_4

Just curious, are you creating these studies directly from the photo reference on your own, or are you using the drawing demo Stan produced for these arm poses as a guide? Personally, I've found referencing Stan's drawing and copying it was a lot easier than trying to design and think through these anatomy studies just from photo/life reference myself, without a professional artist's interpretation to guide me first. Anyway, it looks great!

Nice! The anatomy feels better in this one!
- I think the brachioradialis and biceps should overlap the brachialis.
- In some parts you have empty areas, as if there were air pockets between the muscles. I don't think there is really. The anatomy is like an interlocking puzzle. Try to fill the gaps with anatomical information. If the focus is on the forearms for example, you might not need to include information in the shoulder, so you can simplify, but make sure it's clear that the simple form occupies the entire space.
Of course there might be gaps within and between the muscles and bones, maybe filled with fat or something else. If that's the case, draw the gap, but think of it like a piece; another important part in the anatomical puzzle. The point is to not leave anything undescribed, and have the viewer feel like there are pieces missing in the puzzle you've drawn.

I think my sense of shape design is improving from watching Stan's demonstrations.

The deltoid on this drawing seems to be inserted on the wrong side of the biceps. It should insert on the lateral side of the humerus, instead it wraps to the medial side.

Assignment 4 was fun. First I guessed the muscles on the picture, then watched Stan’s vid and yes, it was the floating muscle 😃 Have a lovely day!

2021/9/29. Hi all. This is my first attempt. The brachialis and the ridge group pop up too much. The area around the wrist is too flat. I’ll try to design it batter after watching Stan’s video. Thanks.

This one was hard. Here is my second attempt after watching Stan´s example.
Question:
Is that cylinder a vein? Stan didn´t include it in his drawing, so I suppose it isn´t a muscle... but it´s so thick
Thanks in advance :)

Yup, I excluded it because I'm pretty sure it's a vein.

Your drawing looks great! Looks like that is a good sized Ulnar vein. Makes me wanna get after it more and train for veins lol. They get really big on lean people with muscle and some people have water-hose sized veins.
