This week and the next I am going to try to catch up by focusing on the legs today, and finally finishing off the figure by focusing on the hands, feet, and the figure as a whole.
But this week i focused on the legs. Again I focused on just massing in the forms of the muscles, then broke down each one individually. The final figure wasn't as detailed as some of the reference images I took from Digital sculpting, but as I did a smoothing pass on the legs, it lost some detail but maintained the overall silhouette.
I broke it down into two cylindrical forms, with a slight taper from the top to bottom. I also re-addressed the pelvis as it was off the measure guides slightly. I also massed in the obliques a bit more to maintain a more aesthetically pleasing model.
The muscles of the buttocks consisted of the:
- Glueteus maxmimus
- Gluteus medius
The muscles of the upper leg consisted of the:
- Tensor fasciae lata
- Sartorious
- Gracilis
- Great trochanter
- Iliotibial band
- Vastus lateralis
- Vastus medialis
- Rectus femoris
- Bicep femoris
- Semitendinosus
- Seminmembranosus
The muscles of the lower leg consisted of the:
- Extensor digitorum longus
- Gastrocnemius
- Peroneus longus
- Tibialis anterior
- Soleus
I made most of these muscles visible in the final figure, however some were lost as I did the smoothing pass. This was slightly intentional as the level of detail did not match with the figure overall.

Next time i'll be focusing on finishing the figure and then sculpting clothing. For the clothing i'll most likely keep it simple and maybe just sculpt pants. The point of this assignment is to learn the muscular anatomy and i fear that clothing will detract from this. After this then its off to posing. Can't wait.
