Throughout my project, there were multiple things I had to take into account on how to make the project work.  First was choosing my models.  I needed to know who I wanted to draw as well what poses I wanted them to be in.  I needed the models to be different in body type.  I first asked a couple of my female friends, but only one was able to be a model.  I then thought about it, and chose a male candidate for the second.  That way, the comparison between the two would be even more distinct and noticeable to the audience.

After putting them into multiple poses, I chose two due to time, and went off of those.  I then started my drawing!

First thing I always did for my drawings was draw a rough outline of the person’s body or face.  As a visual representation, I will be showing the drawing of the face.  The process for the body was the same, so there is no big difference.

I then drew small indications of where the mouth, nose, and eyes.  By doing this, I can locate where certain muscles are located around the face.  I know.  Looks a little creepy right now.  But I can assure that it will look better in the end.

Taking Eliot Goldfinger’s book I used for reference, I looked up where certain muscles are displayed.  For the face, I found a section where he focused only on that area.  By looking at what muscle belongs where, I tried to locate them on the face of my model.  I had to change the muscles a bit since my model was smiling, unlike Goldfinger’s, and used the information he provided about the different muscle movements to figure out which ones moved in my drawing.

For my drawings, I only drew half of the face with muscles.  The second half I drew the skull.  Or what I thought the skull would look like.

Using my own knowledge as well as Goldfinger’s, I was able to draw the skull a little easier than the first half.

And that is how I would draw the human anatomy of my models!

Below is a time-lapse video I did of me drawing the body of the male model:
