Figure 10.17 The torso built up with more strokes. Notice that the head and the trapezius
muscles are now suggested.
Figure 10.18 The left inside view.
The strokes are used to represent the
overall outline or silhouette of the leg.
- After further work on the torso, you can see how
the strokes are laid out in a simplified manner
to represent the overall form. In Figure 10.19,
single strokes represent the abdominal muscles
and the oblique muscles of the midsection. I have
also added small balls for the fists. - You can isolate strokes by Ctrl+Shift-clicking
on them. This will hide all other strokes and
allow you to mask just the visible stroke. Here
I have masked everything but the back of the
arm. I can now use the Bulge brush to suggest
the mass of the triceps muscle on the back of the
arm (Figure 10.20). Figure 10.21 shows the back
of the figure where you can see strokes for the
mass of the triceps as well as other major muscle
forms of the back. Notice that I don’t try to cap-
ture any detail—just general form.
