Manga Muscles teaches you how to draw powerful male bodies in dynamic styles-from athletic to bodybuilder to fantasy superhero-in hundreds of different situations and from all possible angles. Plus, you'll learn to adjust the physical attributes of each character so they don't all look the same, and how to drape clothes on their bodies in a realistic way. You learn about Super-Fit Lean: 'Spiderman' physiques for strong and agile characters; Athletic Muscular: Beefy 'Special Forces' physiques with harnessed strength and balance; Bodybuilder Ripped: Competitive heavyweight 'Mr. Universe' physiques with high-definition musculature; and Fantasy Superhero: over-the-top 'The Hulk' physiques that push the limits of anatomy. The authors-professional illustrators with deep anatomical knowledge-break down the skeletal and muscular systems to show how structure and posture work together to create bold, expressive figures.
