Bicep
Preview:
Synonyms: Bicep; Bicep brachii
Summary
The Bicep or the Bicep Brachii is a staple for all the gym bros across the globe. The bicep can be broken into a long head and a short head. Both the heads originate for different parts of the scapula. If you want to be all fancy the long head starts from the supraglenoid tubercle and the short head starts at the coracoid process. They converge and attach to the radius. All though gym bros think biceps are making them look all ripped they have much more significate use. Have you wondered how you can move your arm forward to twist door nob. Well you can say thank you to your bicep for that one!
Side note Idk who decided to make the most unpronounceable names ever but here is how you pronounce them:
(coracoid: Kaw-ruh-coyd) (supraglenoid: soo-pruh-glee-noyd; tubercle: too-bur-khul)
Basics
Introduce the muscle in a visual way and share other basic knowledge.
The first drawing should be general, kind of like a thumbnail for the muscle.
You can also add some text (only if necessary of course).

Origin
The long head of the bicep originates from the supraglenoid tubercle and it verges with the short head to the radius. The short head orgonites from coracoid process.
Pronunciation above^

Functions
One of the main functions of the bicep is bending your elbow joint, bringing your wrist and upper arm closer together. Since the two heads originates from the shoulder blade another use is stabilizing the shoulder joint. A great example of your bicep at work is when your mom asks you to bring the groceries from the car. Or for all the gym bros when you curl a dumbbell the main muscle your working is your bicep.
How to draw the muscle
You can work with simplified shapes so that other artists can memorize more information. You can also go more detailed, if that's what you prefer.
Different viewpoints help a lot with building a better understanding.
Drawings that visualize the functions mentioned before are always great.

Advanced
Everything beyond the basics
After researching about the bicep I learned something new, on top of there other jobs they also help help by pulling your shoulder blade inward and down. Witch helps the shoulder blade from just slumping forward. Another thing to note is that when you flex your bicep another muscle the brachialis is bosting your bicep making it look bigger!
