Michelangelo preferred sculpting like the David (a character from the Old Testament who killed a giant with a slingshot. Google image ''David by Michelangelo or the Pieta (the virgin Mary holding the dead Jesus in her arms. See link: http:/humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/Fine_Arts/Gallery/michelangelo/lj-a.jpg). But he did paint the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. On the ceiling he did scenes from the old testament like the one of creation where God and Adam are touching hands (see link: http://www.success.co.il/knowledge/images/Pillar2-Supernatural-GodCreates-Man-Sistine-Chapel.jpg). He also did the Last Judgement on the back wall of the Sistine Chapel (this is about when God ends the world and some go to heaven some to purgatory and most to hell: the apocalypse.

Michelangelo Buaronotti was primarily a sculptor. He financed his passion for sculpting (and kept the wheels of goodwill greased) by painting murals (frescoes) for the church. Any drawings he did, he really only did so as preparation for a mural (or perhaps a sculpture), so if you're researching Michelangelo's drawings, you're likely to find things like, "Study for The Creation of Man (Sistine Chapel)," etc ....

Michelangelo produced detailed anatomical drawings of the human body. Scientific investigations gained momentum during this period of the Renaissance, and detailed drawings of the internal organs were of immense importance to the early days of surgical procedures.
