I’m back in class, and totally loving it this year~ I’ve finished up a few assignments in my various classes already, but I really wanted to put this one up because I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. The assignment was to use a photo reference and build the bone structure and surface muscles from it. So here we are~

This set includes the original photo:

Bones!

Muscles~

All The Parts!


This set is the view without it:

I’m really liking the direction classes are going this year. After the rough times I had last year, I feel much more refreshed and prepared, not to mention class is fun!
