Arm Template 01

I've got a client who has given me full reign to do a religious themed piece on his right arm. Suddenly thinking large scale has set me back a bit, but the challenge is exciting.
For the project I created these three views of an arm for reference. Overall shapes are from Jenó Barcsay's Anatomy for the Artist. I took his inner muscles drawings and applied different line thicknesses for an external template.
I'm pretty sure most arms I tattoo won't be this defined, but it's helping me nevertheless. The actual outlines of the arms print at about 20% black. This way the shape is clearly visible and doesn't get in the way of sketching over top.
