Drawing the arms for this class is harder than I thought it would be but not for the reason I thought it would be. I know the basic shape of the arm and location of the basic muscles as well, drawing the arms in the right proportion has become more difficult than I first thought it would. Also, the direction in which the arm is facing has become a challenge. Making the arm look as if it is coming towards me is the hardest part of drawing anything for me. I believe that the most difficult section of the arm to draw would be the wrist. The reason why the wrist is so difficult for me is because if it’s off just a little bit the whole arm looks not proportional and the hand looks unrealistic. It’s as if the wrist is that magical key connection that can make or break the look of an upper body limb. Switching over to the clay manikin. The arm muscles are the last muscles I worked on, mostly the biceps and triceps. This set of muscles wasn’t too difficult to make out of clay. The only thing that gave me any trouble was figuring out which way the muscles layered over each other and the connection points of the muscles tissue and tendons. I have looked for pictures online of arm muscles structures and that seemed to help figure out the placement and layers of the muscles. I think that forearm muscles will not be as difficult as the upper arm but I think that the same problems may occur when working on my manikin. The placement will not be difficult but the layer seems problematic but not as intense as the biceps and triceps.
