Description I want to call these "infosheets" or something since I'm not sure how much they are tutorials. But tutorials seem to encompass everything these days, so...

I did the shoulders separate from the arms because I think they are a totally different and complex structure in their own right. Once you get the whole girdle-over-the-ribcage-idea down you can hang arms off the ends any old way you like.Β 

Almost.

Any preference on the use of Latin for the muscle names? I have abbreviated nicknames for most muscles (as you'll begin to see here) but I don't want to add to the confusion, either. Β I firmly believe they can be named anything, too, as long as you learn their shapes and placements and what they do.

As usual I wish I'd gone over more stuff, too, like more info on positioning the arms on the body from the side view. Someday I'll update all these. SOMEDAY.

ON TO THE ARMS NEXT WEEK.

Yes, the spiders must be avoided at all costs.
(I just found your tutorials and they are so amazing!)

Summary: Avoid spiders.

Hmmm, maybe if you want to be clear on the names, you can try writing the names on top of (or with a line pointing to) the corresponding muscle in the actual drawing.

From what your gallery preview is showing me, it seems like you are trying to stick with a consistent feel for all your anatomy tuts, but I think it would be helpfulΒ to add more definition between muscles so the reader can see which one is which more clearly (for example, drawing the outline of each muscle with a cleaner, bolder stroke, or by colour coding each muscle).

Thanks so much for your feedback!

I'd initially only planned to do the features of the head, but then couldn't stop myself from moving on. Being that things are only going to get more complicated, though, I think I'll take each area in smaller bites (i.e. do front torso/back torso seperately) and get a clear diagram of the muscles in each one as you suggest. Β That way it shouldn't get too unwieldy.Β 

Unless spiders. =O

You're welcome! The spider just wanted to get involved with the whole thing. Couldn't stop it!

This was great, I didn't manage to avoid the spiders though....

But the rest of it was great! (I really did find it helpful)
