just a bit late for comment ops but this is still one of the best tutorials on how to do dem beefs I've ever seen. It's very common to function-muscle (?) guys to be left out of anatomy tutorials, they are my favourites to draw/appreciateΒ γ½ΰΌΌΰΊΩΝΰΊΰΌ½οΎΒ

I'm a competitive power lifter and former soldier. It's nice to have an artists reference that actually reflects the way I am built.Β

Nice references on this! Good point also is how not everybody has the same bodytype: "same-bodying is just as bad as same-facing" (also my pet peeve in superhero comics haha). I especially need to remember that one.Β

Also it's good to note abs can in fact be a bit wonky. By which I mean they don't always sit at the same level. For example, look at Michael Phelps. His abs are offset I bit higher or lower on either side, but they seem to function just fine for him.

this is SUPER helpful thank you so much!! also i saw a thing going around on tumblr and it was a really shitty quality crop of your thing (and it had a 9gag thing on it, what a surprise,) i put credit to you on there but i doubt anyone will see since 20+ thousand people have already seen it ; ;''
you really deserve credit for this, this is fantastic!!!!!

I saw a crop of this on fb. I posted a link back here so you has credit and maybe so people will look at the whole thing instead of just the form vs function.Β

part of this found it's way to facebook
saying things like "the guy who made this (they just croped the form vs function out) dosen't know anything about body building" or "this must of been drawn by somebody who is fat"

This is helpful, although it doesn't just give a direct explanation, it really helped me figure out how to draw abs properly, as I only new how to do a wierd 6 pack that semed out of place on my characters.

Dang. o-o This is like, the most informative tutorial I have ever read. XD THANK YOU SO MUCH

Wait.... so that means that, if male superheroes were real, they'd be built more for form than for function?Β Huh. I guess that makes sense when I think about it. It is a more aesthetic medium.Β
Anyway, it's nice to see a tutorial that not only points out different body types and how they are affected by different types of activity (and vice versa?), but focuses more on the male body. Most of the body type tutorials I've seen on dA are focused on the female body.Β

Great muscle tutorial, Coelasquid! PS MGDMT is probably my favorite damn webcomic, like, ever.

This is extremely informative. I, as a former athlete, wondered why I didn't "appear as defined" as other people and it turns out I was just built differently. Thank you very much for making this.

Ermagersh. Thank you for showing the variety in placement and amount of muscle. This is gret!
