It's important that each muscle is built without penetrating another or itself. You should keep the geometry simple and low resolution. You can use any modeling method to derive the geometry as long as the end product is polygons.
Project: Sphincter Muscle (Orbicularis Oris)
The orbicularis oris muscle is the king of the sphincter muscles. Most of your time will be devoted to getting this muscle to look and act properly. This project takes you through the steps of modeling this important sphincter muscle:
