i actually dont think anatomy is hard. Its just observation. I was sculpting for a short time and wasnt that bad. Your thread inspired me to get bacvk to it!

@Shinigami That is something I really like to hear, I am glad I could inspired you to do it.

started with the chest muscles, I am not happy with it. I will reblocking it in before I move on.
Need to observe a little closer and work longer on each part.

I just did it again, I have resculpted The Torsor. The Serratus anterior did give me some trouble, Zbrush Crashed so I had to sculpt it 3 times. I guess I learned to sculpt it better.

I would appreciated some hard critic, I wanna learn.

Its good that you are taking the time to learn about anatomy. You are learning where each piece goes and where it attaches but you could use better shape refinement or else it will fall apart.

heres a link that might help you, i know you arent getting a lot of feedback. Good luck.

Overall I think you should focus more on volume and form.
Most of the muscles are there, a lot of them just don't quite work because they are lacking volume which makes the "puzzle" not fit together.
On a first view your pecs look wrong, especially in the sideview, the serratus muscle are placed right but the underlying volume is wrong which makes the back muscle visible on the front view, and the back needs more work as well. I am by no means an expert so I can'T tell you how to exactly fix that, but the good thing is that you just need to collect a bunch of reference and observe closely to fix this.
A few resources I can recommend:

@OctoKube Thanks for the motivating words and the Reference
@Shyralon Thanks for the References and the constructive Critique
I have a book from George b. Bridgman, the Bridgman's Complete guide to Drawing from Life.
And some other Books like from the Atlas of Human Anatomy for the Artist from Stephen Roger Peck, I gonna make use of them for my Anatomy Studies.
