Now something very different from me! As I was lately more often experimenting with illustration, I recognized that a solid knowledge of anatomy is really essential. So I started studying anatomy books. For someone who's teaching herself I can't say it was always easy for me to imagine the muscles in different than the standard anatomical position in which they are usually presented. So I decided to try observe them on a picture where they are in action, but as I was drawing over the forms in Photoshop, I thought why not dig deeper and recover their individual forms, origins and insertions and study them in relations based on this single picture? So every muscle got its own layer and my .PSD just grew and grew when I was already for weeks in the project came the idea to share it with the public, maybe there are others out there who would be also interested. So here it is, I hope it can be useful for other visual artist as well

With points
worth only $1.25 you can purchase the .psd file with more than 150
layers and a high resolution version of this combined view above.

In
the PSD every muscle has its own layer with a few additional infos in
text bubbles about their visual appearence on the surface or relations
to other muscles.
You can study them separately or in relations to other muscles by turning on more then one layers visibility.
Take a look at these screenshots:

If you aren't a dA member or don't have points, you can also purchase the file via Sellfy (because of additional Paypal fees its $1.50 there): sellfy.com/p/Vdiu/

!!!
Please before purchasing make sure you have Photoshop installed on your
computer, there's no other way to open and use this file !!!

Please if you think its worth that $1.25 help me promote it, and share this page with your friends. Thank you!

If you are wondering from where did I get all of these infos, I have a couple of great books to recommend! The knowledge is mostly based on Eliot Goldfinger's 'Human Anatomy for Artists'. The idea of color coding and the simplefied skeleton is from Michael Hampton's 'Figure Drawing - Design and Invention'. (I cannot press it enough how useful this book is for understanding the human body as a dynamic system of forms! It's really something different from your usual anatomy books.) And a great book where you can find amazing drawings of muscles in different position and action is Frédéric Delavier's 'Strenght Training Anatomy'.

Consider this only as artistic reference, it's not medically accurate and I deliberately omitted some muscles that are in truth superficial but practically small/undistinguishable, and there are also some cases when I handled certain muscle groups as one single muscle and thus referred to them with an imprecise label.

The font I used for the labels is DJB Rubia's Tiny Print: www.dafont.com/djb-rubias-tiny…

All feedback is very welcome!
