Anatomy Project

In an attempt to memorize anatomy, I'm attempting to put a musculature system on this simplified skeleton. Hopefully this keeps me motivated to finish.

Tips or suggestions are welcome.

Gah, I'm running into problems. I may have to start over with a real skeleton.

i like it very much ,hahhahhah

Thanks, Achilles.

What I'm doing now is taking photos and attempting to determine their underlying anatomy.

This is what I got for Obama so far. I started in Illustrator, but I'm using Artrage for details.

Update to my bizarre project.

You're doing the opposite work than Leonardo did ... Terrific commitment!

You guys are years ahead of me. WOW. Nice work guys.

Nah, I'm not years ahead of anyone. I only started studying anatomy like this a couple days ago, and according to Loomis, the anatomy of the head can be mastered in three nights of study.

I highly recommend reading Andrew Loomis' books (starting with the Head/Hands book), because he doesn't just tell you how to do it, he provides encouragement (which I think is more valuable than his lessons)

Also, I recommend downloading DAZ3D (while it's still free) from here: http://www.daz3d.com/

They provide free models with accurate muscle structure. Great for referencing.

Really great idea. Thanks for the link to the software too. I'm going to try it.
