This sketch is the ninety-sixth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day ninety-six: Yesterday’s workout made my legs extremely sore today, especially my quadriceps. I can barely walk down the stairs without wincing. The idea of drawing my leg muscles led me back to Vesalius’s anatomical atlas to sketch another of the book’s woodcut illustrations. This detail is taken from one of the so-called “muscle men” who appears on page 174 of the 1543 edition. I appreciate how the artist who created the original picture curved the lines to form the shapes of the muscles.
