Armageddon Better at These Headlines, Armen't I?

So, turns out switching from 'B&W Document' to 'B&W Photo' on my scanner produced better results. Minor brightness changes in Photoshop.
A bit more systematic with my pencils. Sketch/shade with 4H and lay hard lines/shading down with 2B (sometimes 3B).




These and the ones below were copied from a copy(student that color coded muscles) from a copy (her instructor's handout) from a copy (Loomis' book?). I found a discrepancy (anconeus mislabeled on one diagram). Charts were very helpful, though.



Typical guy to focus so much on arms, right? Can't wait to move to ZBrush so I can make a 'gun sculpting' reference.

Couple Torsos from October

Observing body fat percentages. Still messing with the scanner ...

Three male, three female.

Proko had a new video I watched and I decided to look at one of his head tutorial videos that I hadn't seen. I miss figure drawing, but I want to focus on different body parts some more.

Youtube is excellent for reference. The top two are from videos of an aesthetic bodybuilder. In the future I'll be watching how muscles flex and extend as they use different machines and pause at different intervals.

Long Time, No Post! A Few Excerpts from September ...

I had been focusing on the torso for a little while and browsing different Pinterest pages and other sites - comparing and trying out different methods.


I had always had issues drawing the back so it was a primary focus for a bit. Have to calibrate my scanner or something - lost a lot of shading information on these!
