I know it has been a while since I have written, and I apologize for that.  Since I last wrote we have started to work on both the abdomens and the hips.  We have created both sets of muscles on our manikins.  For these muscles I used both my atlases from the resources center and the website Visible Body.  After working on our manikins we then focus on adding the specific set of muscles into our drawings of the model.  I am beginning to see how it is helpful to sculpt the muscles in clay before we begin to work on drawing that part of the body on the model.  I feel that I have a better understanding of what is going on with the body and this makes it more helpful when drawing.
