Basic Male Anatomy Model

daestroxii

Oh Hai Guys,

I am currently finishing up year one of school and have been redefining a very basic male model I built in Maya a few months back by defining muscles and tendons.
Just wanted some feedback/constructive criticism on the anatomy/muscle placements from professionals in the industry.

Appreciate the time taken to help!

There are also back and side views. These helped me out a ton in an old anatomy book ([ame="http://www.amazon.com/Figure-Classic-Approach-Drawing-Construction/dp/0891340971/"]The Figure[/ame] - far better than the Loomis stuff, IMO) when I was a kid.

There are also some good shots mixed in the Bustos stuff linked from the Polycount Wiki

Youve got an 8 pack going on. If you look at the ref AsaNYC posted the top 2 abs develop kinda on / above the thoracic arch directly under the pecs.

Stay in a low sub level, shaping up a highpoly model is more dificult then working lowish. So save the details for later, work out the basic muscle mass first.

To work those out i prefer using the inflate brush, it adds volume in a nicer way then the normal brush does.

Look at the larger picture first, find those proportions, then move to a more concentrated area. Compare what you have to references over and over and see what you can improve on.

Pay attention to the silhouette and forms, i get the impression everything is too symmetrical, if you look at limbs closely for example, their silhouette should have "opposite" curves.
