Week 8

This week has been about the shoulder blades and surrounding muscles. The mannequin was pretty easy to sculpt this time around, mostly flat planes and triangular shapes. It's great to see how the shoulder blades work when moving on the live model, and how it changes from male to female. The top muscle is higher on males usually almost covering the shoulder blades, bulking up towards the neck. The female model shows more of the shoulder blade and front collar bone. Knowing where the shoulder blades sit is also really important in finding the Teres Major and Minor. It will be interesting to add the triceps and biceps more fully as time goes on; the top half of my mannequin is really bulking up!
