Abdomination: How to draw beef by Coelasquid

Oh god thank you I've needed this D: 

Yes yes yes. Saw this years ago. And I thought I'll never find it. Thank you so much for this wonderful resource!

This will help me make many beefs. Much thanks.

Went through the whole thing,
I could not fimd any mention of how to draw an Antilock Braking System anywhere

one: this is seriously gonna make drawing my male characters easier, two: beautiful joke xD

   

i am still mastering the circle tool so this isnt that helpfull

When u got pranked by da link

Fascinating. Much obliged!

Best shit ever.

I'm sorry, but I can't read this tutorial without thinking about FMA.

>Consider this a companion to this other anatomy tutorial.
lol dead link, dude

If that's how a competitor looks like, tell me, how much a martial artist or a soldier(no matter the era) should have?. Illustrate.

Oh wow this is amazing!
//Has just scrolled down to see the date this was posted./
I was looking at a poses reference sheet for women (Cause I suck at drawing female figures) that was on the front page when I logged in and this was linked in the comments because a lot of the figures in said reference sheet were very "samey".
My characters are all males and anthro but still have human bodies and I'm fascinated by and absolutely love anatomy.
I really do try my hardest to make their bodies all look different, but I'm lazy and always end up reverting back to the typical "gym rat" 6 pack because it looks desirable.
But this will really help me out! I have one guy who is very much the typical "Tank" and although he does go to the gym, his lifestyle would mean he would build up a lot more useful muscle rather than for show, so this will really help when it comes to releasing his 2017 ref sheet, which I have been currently working on. Time to go change his figure a bit!

Seriously thank you so much for this, I just wish I had seen it sooner!

OH CRAP IT'S YOU.  I follow your Manly comic. Saw this in someone's faves, hopped in and read before noticing your name. Pleasant surprise for me!

OK
I found this on google images like, ages ago and i had a hard-time findin its source... But here you are! At least!
This tutoral is magnificient, it helped me a lot, to be honest
But! That's the real question i was driving nuts trying to find you: you have like, a female equivalence of this? I have a female character that is pretty muscular, not like a bodybuilder but she can kick your ass pretty hard. I'm searching like a bitch for a good tutorial on female muscles, bc when i try this kind of tutorial (made for male phisiques) she kinda looks too manly, and that's definitely not my intention...
Thanks for hearing me anyway

P.S.: I used this in male characters and holly macarroni this helps, like, a lot. They looked more realistic and plausible and it made it easier. I loved it.

This helped me get a better understanding of what strong and fit means and gave me a better appreciation of my own body.

very helpful, thank you! 

Amazing artwork my friend. Also, just incase you didn't know I've seen this drawing(mainly the form vs function one) on some other sites such as 9gag and the comments were saying the one who drew its were jealous of bodybuilder physique. Personally I like the strongman physique more it just looks bigger and more tough.   

this should come in handy later. thanks a bunch.

AWESOME! I need a tutorial on men since I can't draw them right. Thank you for the tips <3

I finally find a tutorial on dudes! I am so happy you made this!

Thanks for this tut, it really helps a lot =o

This is stupendous! Not only am I on my way to learning how to draw the masculine figure better, I know more about muscles too!!

Hmmm, now only if I could learn how to draw GIRL abbs...

Excellent.

Best abs tutorial ever!

Awesome tutorial! I remember seeing it a long time ago and now that I'm studying the torso again this is one of the most helpful tutorials I've seen

Really interesting. There's so much to learn about anatomy!

your link isn't working for "this other anatomy tutorial" Just thought you should know. Iwas looking forward to viewing it

Thought I had this saved, but evidently I hadn't yet...
'd for future reference.

Thank you for posting this. I have been trying to do pictures of people who have work type muscles, y'know like the strongmen type. But I never could think of the right term for it and now I do! I'm doing like a merge of two different people, gemsonas like in Steven Universe, one is a slim build and the other is the Mr Universe type build and when they merge they become the Strongmen body type.

None of the muscly men pics i looked at were what i was looking for but that was because i didn't know it was the Strongman type that i needed to search for! So again, thank you so much for posting this!

this is really good

Thank you for this <3

I can not express how thankfull I am for this fine piece of information and advice, you saved my male characters to end up with serious anatomy problems XD
Thank you so much for doing this!!

Excellent rundown!  I also love how you give a bunch of real-life examples to study.

I didn't know that bodybuilders dehydrate themselves before competition to look more defined.  The things we do for shows, huh?

Oh god you have no idea how helpful this is. There's been a character I've been reinventing like crazy and I've been strugglnig major to draw someone who LOOKS fit and strong. I mainly do the more wiry runner-type fit male characters, but it's like... one or two are more like bear wrestler type strong, and just...

Thank you so much, now I can finally draw or get started learning how to draw this guy

Thank you! 😙

Thank yooooou

Got one for boobs?

Omfg this title got me rolling~   X3

really useful! thank u so so much <3

yay, thank for this!

just a bit late for comment ops but this is still one of the best tutorials on how to do dem beefs I've ever seen. It's very common to function-muscle (?) guys to be left out of anatomy tutorials, they are my favourites to draw/appreciate ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ
