This task, similar to the anatomy of the skeleton, was to gain an understanding of the shape of the main muscles in the body and how they worked, as well as what their function is.
I started out by doing sketches in my sketchbook of the body's main muscles. It was interesting to see exactly what they were connected to and what they were used for. I started to think of what movement would be like without a certain muscle and how it would affect the body performing different tasks. One of the most interesting for me was the Deltoid and thinking of how it works together with the arm's Ball & Socket joint.
Using the skeleton I drew before as I base, I began to create a reference for muscles. this captures the shape and placement of all the main ones, as well as how they fit in with all the other muscles I didn't study during the task.
I think I could improve by labelling in which direction muscles expand and contract (however I did draw lines in my sketches to suggest this). The side view of the skeleton was difficult to find a stock image for, and I feel the one I used was not as accurate or detailed as I would really have liked, sometimes this stock image and the other ones I had gathered did not completely match, however the main muscles were all captured and covered.
