Week 11 - Figure

Week 11 - Figure, Muscular structure

The focus in this session was to understand how muscles work in our body and how we put this feature in to our drawing. The image below is a male model sat on a stool. The intention was to know the basic anatomy of the male body and knowing where the muscles come in to place. As you can see in this image the left shoulder is disproportionate.

The image below is a study drawing of the upper body part of the male model closely zoomed to his neck, collar bone, chest and his right fore arm. This was to analyse and observe every detail of the bone, muscular tissue and skin covering the muscles, to apply shading to the drawing. This task was challenging as detail was key. The bottom right image below is the models leg, and this again was another study drawing of muscular anatomy of a human body. We can see the muscular parts of the leg: the knee-cap, the Quadriceps  and the Gastrocnemius. These drawings are very pleasing with high degree of detail. Also the proportion is also accurately drawn. To understand the whole muscular structure of the human body, I need to have more study drawings just like the images below.
