On first look, mid-cheek looks like one big uniform chunk, but it is instead composed of lid-cheek, nasolabial, and malar segments. To achieve a realistic form, create these segments separately and then blend them together. Be careful cause if you make mid-cheek too uniform, the person will look swollen. If you accentuate each segment too much, on the other hand, the person will look older. https://anatomy4sculptors.com/

Female neck anatomy shapes.

And more angles...combining these two images allows you to see the female next anatomy and its forms from various angles. In the upcoming book, we use these models and add movement to…

The pictures show supination, semipronation, and forced pronation of the arm. During the latter, the elbow rotates outwards, indicating movement in the shoulder, where the deltoid muscle gets worked. Marked with the dots are the deltoid tuberosity, olecranon, and distal head of the ulna – the bony landmarks that help you follow the muscle attachments as the arm gets pronated. www.anatomy4sculptors.com
