RESISTANCE
As I just described, when a muscle contracts, it shortens and typically brings two bones closer together.
Anything that opposes this action is a resistance FORCE. Gravity is a constant resistance, but a
resistance FORCE could be something else, such as a rubber band, or another individual.

Sometimes, the resistance comes in the form of slowing down another muscle’s CONTRACTION
combined with gravity, such as bending over. Your abs help you bend over, but the muscles in your
back also slightly contract to slow down the fall of your upper body.

SUPPLIES
Most of the drawings in this book were created with soft graphite. Some drawings, including the
male template drawing, were drawn in my favorite drawing program, Made with Mischief. Last and
definitely not the least, some images were drawn in faithful work horse, Photoshop, with a Wacom
Cintiq, where all the color work was also accomplished.

So let’s get started: how to draw and experience FORCE.
