This is a bad drawing.
The musculature and structure of the back is completely muddled in this rendering.
This is a little better... but we're still just guessing here.
Let's take a look at a master copy I did from a Da Vinci study
with some muscular and skeletal overlays.
Sometimes it's better to just learn from the masters and practice fundamental anatomy. Just because a layer of skin is covering up all of those muscles and bone doesn't mean we can ignore the architecture underneath the figure.
And so much easier than the way Leonardo and Michelangelo did it. If my information is correct, they paid grave robbers for cadavers.
