I've used a drawing from Jinx-Star. I colored different parts of the muscle on the torso for y'all to see. I did that because I want you to know that drawing abs is like layers. The more muscular, the more layers.

Also, the best way to get to know how to draw abs is to study anatomy. I know, I know y'all heard this plenty of times before and it seems lame, boring, and a waste of time. But how are you gonna get a job without school? Exactly, it's like that. If you wanna get good at drawing abs, study anatomy. It's the best way.
