Day 21: ummm, sometimes, I don’t know what I am getting myself into. There are couple of parts I’m not totally happy with but I’m not going to keep struggling on this. The major problem was that the drawing was kind of small for too much detail and a 3B pencil. I had to go to something harder at the end so that had more control. Definitely take a break from rendering tomorrow. 😛
Day 20: u made it to day 20. r u ok? 😀
Was busy filing some stuff today so I’ll finish this up tomorrow. Change stuff here and there. I was actually trying to get my hashmark organized this time.
Day 19: Initially I drew the construction of the 3D model. but now I realized it was only half of the reference photo. The reference photo was kind of dark.
Will eventually correct and render.
@andregirao-tauffer @bryanmccabe Thanks! ^^
Day 17: I’m busy today and will render tomorrow.
@joshuajacobo I think I’ve said too many times in this thread that the source is morpho so I’ll stop repeating myself. https://www.amazon.com/Morpho-Anatomy-Artists-Michel-Lauricella/dp/1681983745
I don’t think it was meant to replace Goldfinger or any scientific anatomy book and I think it might be more of a drawing book. And some of the muscle it omits for demo purpose, for example the first plate. One the other hand even Bammes has mistakes, so yeah, I really appreciate your input and I’ll take every sources’ word with discretion and hopefully, I’ll eventually figure out what’s wrong.
It might be too much to ask a book to be 100% correct, by combining multiple sources, I hope it eventually is going to be ok. I guess it’s fine if it is not ok for now, because I am a researcher who have the tendency to obsess over technical details and becoming way too intense for anything I do in my life. TBH drawing is also my major source of activity to distract myself from the source of stress per discussion with psych professionals, so I don’t intend to make it one of those sources for now. I just spend 2 hours trying to do more research about torso anatomy. That is a bad trend for me. So yeah, I’ll let it go. Thanks for understanding. ^^
Thanks for the input again. So in order to figure out what I was missing. I think I’d add that the bicep has two heads and the insertion point of tricep is not exactly accurate. And there’s one more chunk of serratus anterior.
I think I am spending too much time on anatomy. 😛
@joshuajacobo : yep Joshua, you are absolutely correct. I did mess up the curvature and the details.
^ ok so I made the same old mistake of posting 2 images in one reply. I originally included an attempt of digital overdrawing.
In case anyone’s wondering what went wrong with my pectoral muscle part, here’s the original plate. The problem was that I didn’t get the curvature of the muscle bundles right. i.e. I didn’t make them wrap around the form correctly.
@joshuajacobo Yep. You are absolutely right. I was very concerned about how 9 and 11 and 15 overlaps because I don’t see it on the cadaver, then I didn’t spend time trying to get the curvature of muscle bundle right. My bad. :”D
The Morpho plates have no shade and have subtle lines. I went checking and I think the problem was that there were three bumpy curvature changes at those changing of planes and I didn’t draw that correctly. oops, I think the colored lines are still off a little bit, but I’ll let it go this time.
In case anyone wonders what the plate looks like.
@joshuajacobo I sure did! I’m partly happy and partly surprised by my progress 😛
Day 17: torso quarter view. I went back to copying plates as complementing information for movement/multiple angles.
If you look closer (I’m sure nobody is looking), I finally sorted out all those bumps on the contour that went missing when I draw from imagination. It’s lats -> Serratus anterior -> obliques. Then also, the opening of the ribcage divides the first segment of the rectus abdominus diagonally in half.
