Forearms especially near the elbow are objectively the best. The way the supinators create that little hollow by the elbow when the arm is straightened...hhhnnngghhhh.

Serratus muscles are a second though as they look really nice the way they fan out.

I wouldn't call it a fetish but I love simplifying arms and legs
Capturing the flow of the muscles with just the right amount of lines is pretty neat

Back of women's neck, knees.

Where to get more drawings like this? Shoulder girdle/neck/face in particular

>>2682841
Wrists and knees. I had been studying the hand/wrist and had the opportunity to draw my crush, she agreed to sit for a quick live sketch. I made a bunch of comments about her wrists because they were genuinely fascinating (delicate and way long, like she had mutant carpals). I realized after she must have thought I had some sort of perverse erection.

They're academic studies from Russia. There's a few books of the stuff and lots of images floating around online. I have a giant set of folders of it that I grabbed as a zip from here once, maybe someone else can post a link.

SAME, before I hop in the shower in the morning, I'll straighten out my arm and look at that little divot in the mirror. It's a lot of fun to draw, and probably my main landmark for the arm.

after doing so much figure drawing and anatomy studies I have tons of favorites, most of them being bone landmarks.

clavicle + sternocleidomastoid
the triangle that both condyles and the radius form
the armpit and the fucking mess of muscles it is (pec, lat, infraspinatus, teres major and minor, corabrachialis and anything I am forgetting about)
the ASIS (Mostly where the Obliques Insert and the separation it has)
the PSIS (Michaelis Rhomboid to be precise, but the not-so clear separation between the pelvic bone and the butt is actually pretty nice and has a unique rythm to it)
The ham strings from the back (the hollow they form in the back of the knee and the H shape they make, specially nice in women)

Really love the way the body works, I used to wonder why would people would only study anatomy and teach it all their life but now I know why.

That particular image is, yes. But there are other schools in Russia and in that zip I downloaded, pic related is from Saint Petersburg Art and Industry Academy of Baron Alexander von Stieglitz.

Mah nigga! Also do you have a folder of Ingres drawings? The filename suggests you do. I'm interested if you are willing to upload it.

The ribcage is pretty gud too, especially when the person is underweight, but not skelly territory.

Ehh, yes and no. Their top schools are ridiculously tough to get into. From what I hear the only students who do get accepted have already gone through a specialized art high school and usually 1 or 2 years of some sort of intermediary art college thing, and then once they get accepted into the main academies it takes I think 7 years to graduate? It's a long time to keep grinding the boring basics. You also don't get much instruction on composition or what to do with the skills. So a lot of them are masters of life drawing but then can't do anything with those skills.

Even the best academies today too are just a pale shadow of what they used to be. The very top instructors today would be bottom of their class if you went back 100 years.

I like it when girls have a good amount of fat and muscle. Not too much, but not too little. What bodytype is this called?

Too bad it's rare. I need more.

To quote the part of thread concerning entrance exams:

>For the foreign students it's a little bit different. Foreign students are competing only among themselves. Foreign students do pay for their education at the academy (about $5,000 per year), but they have fewer seats than the Russians. Like in each group of say 10 students there would be 3 foreigners. So, in some way the competition among the foreigners is tougher, but also their level is not as high as among the Russians, so it is good that they compete only with each other.

>>2686027

Bearmode. Common bodytype in competitive lifters, but still very rare in women.

Sternocleidomastoid is baby's first anatomy for people who don't have aesthetic judgment yet.

I love when girls who otherwise don't look particularly fit stretch arms back such as when fixing their pony tail and I can see the teres minor stretch.

The way the muscles and femur bulge out at the back of the knee in extension, and at the sides on the bottom of the line created between the femur and the gastroc heads are very subtle bulging of the gastroc. The slight break in the line between the femur and the back of the knee. When a girl bends over and shows the hamstrings stretching at this area and above... forget about it!

The fat tightness where the pecs connect to the arm. When the arm is raised and the pecs bunches up.

The change in planes from the belly proper to below.. The vertical divide that makes it a larger curve made up of two gentle curves.

At the more lower part of the obliques where it neighbors the belly proper, it's more pronounced, yet still gentle.

When the bottom-most curve of the pubis on females is rounded gently.

The subtle division created by the border of the gluteus medius against the g max. At most angles, it's curved to follow the surface.

The part where the jaw meets the neck under the ears. It's my favorite part to look when I see a girl's head in 3/4 from behind aside from the nape.

The subtle rings around the neck in women.

When the face is tilted down and I see the angle of the eyes, more forward in the medial corner than the lateral. The definite curveness of the lower canthus at the lateral third.

The tightness of the skin against the bottom of the chin bone, and the contrast of the more muscular underbelly of the chin more towards the neck. The change is sudden, yet shallow.

When a profiled face shows cheek bone at the orbital edge slightly overlaps the flesh around the lower canthus especially when tilted so that the bottom of the face is closer to the viewer than the top of the head, as in picture.

Are you people actually retarded? That's all muscle. She's not fat at all.

Oh yeah, anon. She's totally sub 7% bodyfat.

There's fat there, not some gross fetishing amount of fat, but it's still there.

>>2686329
>sub 7%
>with those round shapes
she's clearly muscular, but she also have about 15-20% bodyfat (just the right if you ask me)
