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.
