DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT FANCY MYSELF A GOOD ENOUGH ARTIST TO ACTUALLY UNDERTAKE TUTORIALS; THIS WAS DONE AT THE REQUEST OF SOMEONE ELSE. THEREFORE, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE COMMENTS POINTING OUT MY MISTAKES. THIS TUTORIAL IS TO HELP YOU WITH DRAWING MUSCULAR MEN, NOT BISHIE BOYS AND FEMALES. FUTURE TUTORIALS IN THIS SERIES WILL BE MORE DETAILED AND WELL-DRAWN!!

Ugh, I slept through all of Saturday. And when I say all of Saturday, I mean from 3 am to 11 pm.

So yes, the disclaimer sums it up. I really don't think I draw well enough to teach others, and by no means is this to teach you the RIGHT way to draw muscles. My drawings are rife with mistakes and anatomical errors which even I can see. wanted me to give him a framework around which to instruct him how I draw muscles. So this is to teach you how I draw muscles; my style, my mistakes.

This is the first part: the skeletal and the basic proportions of the figure. I tried to also add comments to help you, but as you can see there are 3 areas I need to work on:
Forearms/Hands
Legs/Feet (heh heh, he has hooves)
The Back

But there are some things to keep in mind too:
I did this in like 20 minutes; mistakes and necessary clean-ups are everywhere
I'm not here to teach you HOW to draw the feet or hands
Nothing I do is perfect. I'm still learning myself.
I CANNOT DRAW SMALL FIGURES WELL.

And yes, as that one statement says, your arms DO NOT hang like that. Try it. Stand in front of a mirror. Your biceps should be facing front. Now position your arms like that. It's not impossible but it feels damn uncomfortable. When I say other artists have done I'm serious; they had their arms positioned sideways. So even professionals do it. I was too lazy to do it properly and plus it gives you an idea of the upper arm muscles.

Use this as a guide, not a singular source. Look at anatomy books. Look at pictures of real people. Discover your own style. Practice the hell out of muscles.
