Ape muscles (and some skulls).
I was recently recommended to not skip the major forms stage, before thinking about anatomy, which I've been doing. I feel like that advice has improved my work a lot, and has fixed an issue that I've been trying to solve; my sketches have often felt disjointed and unclear. I'm really happy with many of these!
The process: gesture, major forms, then anatomy.
I walked around in my room trying to match the pose of the chimpanzee model. Really fun (and useful).
Aaaaaiaiaaaaaiaiaa!

ASSIGNMENTS
Let’s see what you’ve learned!
I want you to do a shape breakdown of the muscles, just like I did in the demo.
Think about the skeletal structure underneath and then build the muscle forms on top of that. Focus on the big shapes and try not to get caught up in the minutia.
You can do the whole model or break it down into parts but I recommend trying the whole model at least once.
Once you’ve done that, try to take that understanding of the forms and draw them in a few different poses. Trying to get away from the static poses we have been doing and drawing them more dynamically.
This assignment is about your understanding of the forms, not making a pretty picture. So don’t worry about refining or rendering out your sketches.
I did some more musclestudys. I think I managed to improve my understanding of the muscles quite a bit. I think Im going to work on my whole body poses next trying to draw good poses from imagination that have volumes, muscles and flow.
Any feedback is always very welcome!
