Understanding Female Muscles Are there differences between female and male muscles? Due to human anatomy, it is generally considered harder for women to build muscle mass than men. However, in the world of illustration, it is possible to draw muscles equal to or even greater than those of men.

To make 'Muscle Girls' even more attractive, this book thoroughly explains how to draw female musculature!

With information on various angles, poses, changes under clothing, and character-specific variations, this book provides everything you need to bring out the individuality of your 'Muscle Girls'...
