So Far...

The arms have now been complete in a basic form.  The model is not complete in terms of its basic mesh.  Now detail must be added to areas.

The back has been shaped a bit more to help show more shoulder definition.  I know need to move on to the torso, but first ketches must be completed.

Forearm Modelling...

The arm is now complete as hands are not going to be part of the finished mesh.  I worked a natural wwist into the polygon structure to acompidate the topology of the Brachioradialis muscle.  I am happy with the result.

Forearm Sketching...

I have drawn some more forearm sketches and it has helped with my understanding of the Brachioradialis muscle and I can now go back and attempt to finish the basic arm structure.

Modelling the Arm...

The bicep and tricep has basically been implimented and i am happy with how they look at this early stage.  The forarm however is much more difficult. The Brachioradialis has a natural twist and this is becoming an issue when modelling.  Some more sketches need doing in order to grasp a further understanding before continuing.

Tricep Topoolgy Sketches...

The above image is a large drawing of the tricep muscles and how they are positioned on the arm.

This is a simple sketch to get a grasp on how the topology will flow on the mesh.  This has given me a clearer understanding of what I am to create.  I now feel confident going back into 3DS Max to continue the modelling process.

More Sketches...

This sketch was to help gain more of an understanding of the muscle structure of a tricep.  It is clear that more sketches are needed before implimenting this within the model itself.

I have now made a much more muscular sketch of a tricep.  This was using a reference images and after completing it is clear that the triceps positioning is off centre and must be corrected.

This is a more complete sketch showing a clearer level of definition and poroportion.  I think i must now look at a few final sketches to explore topology.

Arm sketches...

This is a quick sketch to help me get to grips with the way the shoulder leads to the bicep and tricep.

I have now sketched some more muscle structure in the form of a tricep and bicep and then the forarm below.

The sketch above is my attempt to understand how the muscles look through the skin on a toned arm.  The tricep is still very defined, in almost a horse shoe shape.
