Summary

The Arms (Brachium) are two upper body limbs that consist of three bones, three joints, and three main muscle groups each.

Basics

The arm is made up of the humerus (upper arm), radius, and ulna bones (both bones in the forearm). Major joints include the shoulder, elbow, and wrist. These joints allow the arm to stretch and contract.

Functions

The human arm allows you to grab, throw, lift, push, and pull.

Basic Shapes

To build an arm there are two important and simple shapes you should use.

  • Circle (shoulders)
  • Cylinders (upper and lower arm)

The circle (shoulder) serves as a sort of hinge where the upper arm can connect to the torso.

The cylinders (upper and lower arm) ensure that the arms dont look floppy since they can also serve as place holders for where the bones should be. For the lower arm, one cylinder is also enough to give the arm proper structure.

Reminder: These shapes can vary is size depending on the body type being drawn.

Joints

Shoulder (Ball and Socket): The shoulder can move in any direction including: forward, backwards (if you're flexible enough), up, and down.
Elbow (Hinge and Pivot):
Wrist:

Wrist: The wrist is the joint between the hand and the lower arm (forearm).
Note: The actual wrist does NOT twist. This motion comes from the radius rotation under the ulna in the forearm. With that being said, most of the bending done in the wrist is moving the hand forward or backwards.
