I posted this on pencjack.com also but I wanted to see what happens here also.
I'm not sure if anyone else will like this idea or not but I hope this turns out to be helpful not only just for myself but others.
I'm really trying to study anatomy and muscle structure in depth while also taking a figure drawing class on tuesday nights. I've only had 2 classes and mostly been doing gesture drawing and proper portion placement. The classes have helped me out a lot and I want this thread to be a place for others to post there muscle structure drawings and others give tips and ways to improve.
I'll scan in some stuff when i'm not a work but I wanted to get the thread started.
I'll also provide reference material here on this first page and keep it updated.
Good luck and I hope this helps me as well as others.
