Flexed, Posterior View

The calf muscles can really bunch up when flexed. The split in the gastrocnemius becomes visible when the muscle tightens up. It appears to be two different muscle groups, but actually, it’s two heads of the same muscle. Fully half of the lower leg is covered by the Achilles tendon.

Not every muscle is superdefined on the outline of the figure, because that would result in an outline that’s bumpy all over. The outline of the figure is certainly influenced by the various muscle groups, but just as important, you must be sure to draw a smooth transition between the groups, even if that requires losing some definition. Every body has a coating of fat and skin that acts as a smooth layer covering the muscles. Note how fluid the black ink outline is on these figures. The heavily muscled areas occur on the interior of the form.
