Anatomical Framework Tips 2.0 by Astrikos

* Update* 

Digitized/cleaned up this framework & uploaded layered graphics files so you can go through it, layer by layer. 

The purple lines indicate rhythms of muscles, red is mostly bony landmarks/armature, and the bracket lines show relative proportions. 

I find learning equivalent widths to be a bit easier than measuring 8 heads every time, at least for gesture drawings.

Anatom Quick Tips — Necks & Heads by Astrikos

This one was pretty highly requested and includes drawings that cover chins, jaws, necks, and heads.

Notes & Measurements * Approximately : bottom of eye to the bottom of the chin = chin to collar bone * Do not flatten the back of the head, unless your character has a dent in their head. * It's easier to draw these angles if you draw a cross that guides the eye line and then the flat vertical ( | )line of the face. * [ Detailed, medical anatomy reference] (http://www.innerbody.com/anatomy/muscular/head-neck) -- also view this because it tells you the natural range of motion for the neck. * Watch the angle of the jaw as it connects to the skull. Also pay attention to where you're placing your ears.

Looking at references helps a lot, as well as studying anatomy so you understand why arms look the way they do.
