Book Overview

This guide, credited to Proke, is a visual breakdown of the deltoid muscle. It covers the three heads, their attachment points, and the way they move the arm. The material is designed for artists who want to draw the shoulder with more confidence.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• The triangular shape of the deltoid and its connection to the Greek letter delta.
• Origins of the anterior, lateral, and posterior heads on the clavicle, acromion, and scapula.
• The deltoid tuberosity and how the insertion creates a dynamic curve.
• How each head lifts the arm forward, sideways, or backward.
• The multipennate structure of the lateral head and its interdigitating tendons.
• Surface landmarks such as the infraclavicular fossa and example drawings.

Why This Book Matters

For artists, the deltoid is one of the most visible muscles on the upper body. A clear understanding of its heads and attachments helps in drawing the shoulder from any angle. This guide presents that information in a direct, visual format that suits both classroom study and independent practice.
