Bones and Muscles
Muscles and Bones, Front View
7/9/07
In an effort to learn bones and muscles, I drew this anatomical front view by combining info from Loomis’ “Figure Drawing For All It’s Worth,” and Peck’s “Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist.” Mostly Loomis’ book.
It’s been a long time since I sat down and drew this stuff. I normally just stare at it for a second, get bored and move on. Drawing from these anatomy books has helped my made-up figures look a little more solid and believable, I think. I imagine one can spend a lifetime trying to get this stuff right. Next up: side and rear views! If my sanity holds.

thanx once again
Glad to help!
hey its cool! clear very well detailed..thankx…
WOOOOOOOO!!!! you are my saviour!!!! thanks a lot man, its very har to find a good reference about muscles. I’m an sculptor from Argentina and I want to thank you for your work, its very helpful, i realy apreciate it. Forgive my poor english.
good luck!
see ya!
It’s exciting to hear this will help you sculpt! I’m a wanna-be sculptor trapped inside a pencil-pusher.
Good luck!
I was wondering if you had done a posterior version of this illistration. I have found this very helpful with my nursing studies. It is very hard to find good illistrations such as yours.
At some point I’ll create more views. That was my original plan, but I don’t have any additional versions right now. Thanks for the compliment, Kerri!
wow, you’re a lifesaver n_n (i’m doing my anatomy readings in advance and i was thinking how i’d draw the parts, but i saw your drawing first, so i’ll just use it instead)
Excellent. If you decide to draw any other views, let me know!
Nice work! There’s an awful lot of anatomically poor drawing out there, so it’s good to see someone putting the effort into learning how it all works. And your drawing is very clean and well done.
awsm wrk man.
This is a very cool and helpful drawing. I’m working on improving my artistic anatomy and this drawing is a useful and inspirational tool.

Fantastic drawing of front muscle view. It is helping me revise for body massage exam. I wondered if you had ever found the time to get a rear view done? here’s hoping…. thank you again.
This is the best diagram i have seen so far. Thanks
