This weekend I had a workshop / panel discussion about drawing muscles on Balcon: Animachina 2014 convention in Bytom.
Thank you for coming by if you were there!

I was talking a lot about a book "骨と筋肉がわかる人体ポーズ集" by Sato Yoshitaka (佐藤良孝) and if you wanted to get it, it is available on the Japanese Amazon:
www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/43…
It costs about 60 zł (PLN), but I suppose the shipping cost is enormous - I haven't checked it yet. D:'

You can also check by the same author:
www.amazon.co.jp/%E4%BD%93%E8%…

Which is also available on American Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Sourcebook-huma…
for 35,86$ (USD). And the shipping cost.

It looks I think just as good as the first book - but it focuses on photos more than drawings. (Still, these are no body-builders, so at least they look normal.)

I've also found many many other awesome books about anatomy on the Japanese Amazon... Seriosuly, Japanese have it too easy. T3T So many awesome books~

Finally, here you can see a few pages of the book scanned in a higher quality:
kosaido-mangakobo.jp/?p=120
As well as his second book in the same form:
kosaido-mangakobo.jp/?p=49

If you can get them, I recommend the first book very much - it is accurate and easy to follow. I think even if you can't read Japanese you will be able to get a lot from this book. I don't have his second book ("体表から構造がわかる人体資料集"), so I can't really say if it's good or bad, but "骨と筋肉がわかる人体ポーズ集" is amazing. (Except the crappy pseudo manga-style drawings in between the chapters, lol. Those are the worst! XD But the rest is awesome.)

Good luck with your anatomy studies! <3

(PS. Sorry for my crappy drawings - the pen of our tablet didn't have the pressure control. xD; I know it doesn't look too good. ~~)
