From the Sketchbook: Back study

I try to draw something everyday be it a longer drawing of some type of plaster cast or just a couple of quick sketches. When I do my sketches I tend to be more loose when it comes to measuring the proportions and other aspects of the construction. That is not necessarily a bad thing because you are still training your eye and this will improve your quickness and reduce the need for explicitly doing all the construction steps. Anyways, from time to time the sketches turns into to something interesting that I will upload here. This time it is a sketch of a man's back. 

Back study

This is actually the back of a video game character called Kratos from the video game God Of War. I am not a big gamer but the game features art from Andy Park who is an artist that I like. I never really finished this sketch but was happy with how some of the muscle definition came out. I look forward to get into more anatomy to enable me to capture the details even better.
