A "new book of demolition for fiction" is finally here, covering everything from "that muscle from gaming" that you have always wanted to draw to cool smart body shapes!
Various body shapes, poses, drawings from various angles, and "strong" muscle shapes that transcend common sense are thoroughly explained. This book explains how to draw real "strong" muscles, which cannot be achieved by just looking at the real thing.

Here are the muscles you have always wanted to draw!
This book is a commentary/examination book specializing in illustrations of fictional "strong muscles" that appear in fighting games and fiction. Therefore, it is very different from real anatomy and structure.
It can't happen with real muscles. But they exist in the illustrations. I remember seeing them, but you won't find them in ordinary drawing books or muscle manuals. ...... This book thoroughly dissects such fictional muscles that can only be explained by illustrations!

■Body type-by-body type explanations cover everything from gaming body types to smart body types.
Basic muscle explanations, drawings of each body type, muscles from various angles for each body type, changes in clothing, and how to draw different characters. Various explanations from muscle body shapes beyond the common sense to basic smart muscle body shapes, according to training methods and characterization.

■Dividing the stages and drawing according to muscles.
Four main body types are explained: monster type, super muscle type, muscular type, and smart type. The important points unique to fictional muscles are introduced, such as which muscles should be drawn larger to make them look strong. Various types of "strength" are pursued: firm, soft, intimidating, and sexy.
