Plate 2 showing engraving of front view of 'the Bones of the Trunk or Human Busto' from: Anatomy improv'd and illustrated with regard to the uses thereof in designing. (London: John Senex, 1723).

Source: http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/muscles.html There is no one answer for this question since there are different ways to measure strength.

Question from Ivaylo "As a person who has never faced anatomy before, is it possible for me to draw any characters in the future just by watching and following dedicated Drawing Academy courses?"

It was last year that I dove deep into studying about Dr. Steven Porges' Polyvagal Theory. As a manual therapist and bodyworker I found many aspects of the theory relevant to me. Perhaps I will elaborate on what the Theory is another time, or you may have already heard about it. Today I want to share with you my sketches that helped me understand the anatomy of the vagus nerves and also how the poly-vagal theory translates into anatomy. A quick run down of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)…
