I've got a book I bought during my brief attempt at learning to draw, "Visualizing Muscles". They painted muscles on a good looking guy and had him pose nude in various positions to show how the muscles stretched and contracted during motion. The foreword talked a lot about the prep work and the long days for the model, he couldn't even sit without risking smearing the paint job. I couldn't find any good pictures from the book online, though.

Great definition. Reminds me of some of my bodybuilder clients.

That's a fun book as a reference for those learning anatomy. Very helpful for visualizing muscle placement and positioning if you haven't done a lot of cadaver work or you're not very good at mental visualization.

Here's a pic I found from the VM book. I would've enjoyed being the painter.

Is it my imagination, or is this model missing BALLS ?

Lol! He's likely wearing a tight supportive cup. That seems to be the way it goes for this types of situations. Look at RMIT's use of this in an anatomy class: http://www.designboom.com/art/rmit-students-paint-anatomical-man-into-human-textbook/

the model in Visualizing Muscles didn't wear anything, he was totally nude.
