Names of Things - Muscles

Description

Striving to “become better artists” or to be able to draw this and that, a lot of people who turn to tutorials for help. There are plenty to be found here on dA, on YouTube, or through your favorite search engine.

And while there’s a lot of crappy tutorials out there teaching wildly misinformed things— and I’m probably guilty of the same, though I do try my very, very best not to—, there are also a lot of tutorials that simply don’t suit the audience they claim to try to help.

By that I mean that the information and tips they offer may be helpful, but only to people who know certain things already. Kinda like how cookbooks aren't too useful for teaching people who don’t know what measurements and cooking terms mean.

But rather than condemn the latter sort of tutorials to eternal uselessness to the general art-learning public, I decided to do something to help people cross vast the divide and made this series. This may not be the ultimate mega super holy bridge of knowledge for everyone but I'll be happy if at least some people understand and make better use of other tutorials because of this one.

This is still in beta. If you have any comments, suggestions, or clarifications to make, feel free to leave a comment.

EDIT (May 26 2011)
This deviation has been getting some attention lately. I'll be updating this soon, fixing some typos and rewriting some parts for clarity.

I'm open to your feedback. Let me know which parts are extra useful (and which ones are vague to you).

EDIT (August 2012) - ANATOMICAL TERMS OF LOCATION
I think my old tutorial page (which I originally linked to to avoid repeating myself in forums) is relevant to this topic: [link]

Also, I pledge to finally update this tutorial with more recent insights and rephrasing before October. (if anyone actually cares, please bug me about it. You will be rewarded handsomely with a dA llama)
