Latissimus Dorsi

 It took me a little while to finally get this series started but here is the first completed piece.  The plan is to focus on different muscle groups in the back and how they interact with the spine.  

The detailed anatomy drawings are challenging, but I know it's a helpful skill to develop.  I'm trying to use watercolor to highlight specific muscle groups.  The latissimus dorsi muscles remind me of wings or a hang glider.  I used orange to indicate the tendons where the muscles attach to the bones.
