omg that's the reason why im thinking about just printing it out instead

Hey, I'm learning too but something that I've noticed is that you are not always aligning the striations with the actual direction of the muscle fibres. The ones I've noticed at a glance are: - Pecs (there should be 3 subgroups all originating at he the at the shoulder at the armpit level and one attaches horizontally to the clavicle, one vertically to the sternum and another one horizontally to the ribcage) - Biceps, triceps, forearms (all these should run longitudinally ie. same direction as the arm, as opposed to perpendicular to the direction of the arm like you have depicted them.) In this latter case I think you are mixing up volume lines (ie to give a sense of the volume of a shape) vs the actual muscle striations. I think it's a very fair confusion and a hard one to discern unless you have a good understanding of each muscle's function. I hope this feedback has been constructive!

We believe in you Briar!

very good

Basicly yes, you did it "right" but I think you missed the point a little. You drew the shape of the muscles correct for the most part, but the lines going over the muscles look like an afterthought. These lines are meant to describe the volume of the shapes of the muscles. To show how they bulge out or stretch accross the form. Also, your lines look very unsure and shaky, which is understandable, and will improve with time and practice. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Both work just as good. If you have a digital tablet and want to digitally draw over the images, those work just as well in teaching you the concepts as if you printed the images out. The goal is just to help you "see" the muscles under the skin.
