Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

The proportions work pretty well but as that's already becoming a pretty detailed model I agree with the refs. Look at the abs especially, with that kind of muscle definition your ribs would not be that prominent also they occur higher up. I added some refs for how these muscles run anatomy wise and also what kind of result you'd get on a beef jerky like this, comes with absence of brain a lot of the time I've noticed. In CG people love to add exaggerated muscle to their sculpts, it fails a lot of the time because they don't use correct anatomy drawing up the main muscle groups before modeling really helps here. Personally I prefer models that follow the final image, I think it helps add realism to a model as pumping your body to that extent is not natural.

Nah seriously I belong to those people who believe it's difficult to draw, model or animate without anatomy but I'll be quiet now. Apart from knees and abs I don't have much to say, looks good so far.

Structure of the foot goes like this: tibia and fibula meet tarsal bones to form the ankle joint. The bony protrusions sticking out on both sides are their condyles. The only visible tarsal bone is the calcaneus which forms the arch of the heel, these then meet the metatarsals that make up the main part of the bone structure of the foot. Look at how the phalanx meet the metacarpals and flex your own toes to determine how many phalanx make up each joint. I think your foot looks pretty good, but you have a bend in the joints that goes the wrongs way and breaks the arch of the upper foot. One thing you should try to do before modeling these structures is draw them up so you understand them, try just making some line drawings of the arches in different poses.
Structure of the hand: radius and ulna meet the carpal bones to form the wrist joint, and then continues with metacarpals and phalanges so the same as above, the bony condyles are visible. I remember I was very surprised that the metacarpals made up most of the hand, it's difficult to feel on yourself because it's reinforced by ligaments and muscle but if you do a spread and bend the fingers up you'll see it. If you flex your hand you'll see how the metacarpals end by the knuckles and you then have two phalanges for the thumb, three for the others. Also hold around a finger and slide along and you'll feel the bones get larger where they come together to form joints.
If you get the metacarpals you'll also understand the shape of the hand, try drawing the structures and add some wrinkles on skin for phalanx joints, knuckles where the metacarpals end and define the metacarpal bone that leads to the thumb, also the tendons that run on the upper side of the metacarpals can show slightly.
