In case you're feeling like your characters all have the same body types, or need more muscle definition, here are some amaaazing photos of different Olympic athletes. It's really fantastic to see how crazy different their body types are, with different qualities prized by different disciplines. Hopefully it's a good source of inspiration and reference!

I recommend saving them to your computer in case you lose the link or it disappears. :3 I've seen some of these photos floating around the internet, but this is the first time there've been so many from this book collected in one place.

Also I had to mop up the drool from my keyboard from looking at all those oiled-up sexy mens. <3

I remember those! I love them, I saved them a long time ago. Always intended to use them on the day that I finally... stopped... drawing fanart of generically proportioned anime characters... /sinks away and disappears

Thanks for posting here, it's definitely a great resource!

These are great. It's amazing how even people in different classes of the same sport can have wildly different bodies.

(Also, Tara Lapinski in the midst of all the tall people made me lol.)

I've been trying to vary body types more lately, and I've been drawing an awful lot of differently muscled characters, so this is probably a good thing to look at. Thanks for the link!
