Hello everyone, here are some shoulder inventions for this assignment. I wanted to focus on correct origin-insertion of the muscles and form. If I am lacking anywhere in this departments please feel free to let me know, would love hear some feedback! Thank you

I didn't do these out of my head, as Stan suggested, but I did include the reference pics I used for context. I think the studies got better as they progressed, but I need to try a few angles that are perhaps more extreme or awkward.

Hey Peter,
I think it's good to use reference for as long as possible, because it teaches us quite a bit if we really look at it and study it.
For example, the first image. It is telling us that the scapula is moving closer to the spine, causing a pinch and bulging the muscles up in that area. In your drawing, you didn't include the left arm moving back causing the bunching. You will notice, you have the scapula the same distance to the spine as the other one.
I did a quick sketch that I hope helps you see what I mean :)

Been a while since I practiced because of the busy schedule so I am slowly getting back to the grinding anatomy again.

Nice!
- In the middle drawing, I feel like we're lacking some mass in the shoulders. Before adding the anatomical details, make sure that the major forms are in place.

I want to revisit these after the next few torso lessons -- still trying to wrap my head around what's going on with these muscles!

I've watched and studied the shoulders video a few times, and imo you're on the right track with your studies. I think it's good to try the study yourself, then watch Stan's version and copy it. Shoulder anatomy studies can feel torturous due to the wide range of motion of the shoulder and the variety of muscles that come into play. I believer you'll see progress if you keep up analytical studies like these. Might take 20 or 30 times before it sinks in, but 🤷🏼♂️

OK, I didn't see the Skelly zip for the invention assignment. I opened it and got overwhelmed. Here are my shameless copies of Prof P's demos. I hope to one day be able to identify and invent all this stuff from my head, just like he does.

These look nice. I would go through and do the skelly ones on your own now. That way you can compare against what you learned.

I'm loving these anatomy lessons. Loads of good information and drawings to inspire. The tracings and other assignments are really helping to sort it all out. Organizing this course must have taken a long time. Thank you.

Here are my assignments for the shoulder muscles. I had difficulties with the third.

im not an expert but it looks like in the third one the infraspinatus, teres major, and teres minor are tensing, so maybe trying to show that abit more would help.
Also I think you could make the shoulder blade on the left be pulled further back

I would like to provide some feedback on the shoulder muscle videos as well as the anatomy course in general. I would say that the course could benefit with a bit of restructuring, specifically adding some advance information on any muscles that surround an area we are studying. Specifically here, what I found is, to get the most out of the lessons related to the PECTORALIS MAJOR and the shoulder muscles in general; I had to study the DELTOID on my own, and skip ahead to the DELTOID section of the Arms course.
Perhaps it would be of help to add extra review options for the surrounding muscles between certain lessons.
I honestly don´t know what the most elegant solution would be, since the very nature of the intertwining anatomical parts makes it difficult as it is, and you are surely doing an OUTSTANDING job.

The deltoids and the latissimus dorsi here are just a bonus, so if you haven't watched the lessons about these muscles, you just need to focus on the shoulder muscles for the time being.
The deltoids and the latissimus dorsi won't affect the form of the shoulder muscles in any way. The shoulder muscles are the ones that affect the shape of the muscles above them, so it would just be a distraction to learn about other muscles.
Again, the deltoids are not affected by the pectoralis major in any way, so there shouldn't be any need to know about the delts in order to practice the pecs.
It wouldn't be practical to rush things and try to include all the information of these muscles in one video anyway.
If you want to know more about other muscles, you are free to watch the next lessons and come back again. I don't know why there should be a restructuring, when the muscles are divided into small and coherent lessons, as it is now.
Personally, I think that this course is made with the idea of not thinking about the small parts of the picture, and start thinking of the picture as a whole first ( starting with big shapes and then adding details). In that regard, it's only natural to focus on individual muscle groups one at a time before proceeding to learn about the next muscle group
( the overal composition of the human body being the big picture and the muscle groups being the details).

Done some more drawings after watching the critique video.
I feel like I have a good understandig of the shoulder muscles now.
What do you guys think?

Here is my attempt for the assignment. I am looking for some feedback on how can I improve on thees.
Have a nice day!

Really nice!
- In image 4, the left shoulder, I would have the infraspinatus overlap the terer major
- You often draw the humerus too long and thin, and the head of humerus should be larger and closer to the surface (see if you can feel it on yourself). You'll learn more about the humerus in the future, but it might be useful to take a peek on the arm bones lesson.
- The teres major attaches at the front, medialy, on the humerus, in image 5 and 6, you have it attaching a little too far back
Hope this helps :)
