Description
Giant infograph hooooooooo!I started out this one with a muscle-by-muscle, step-by-step colored diagram, but then thought wtf, people can get all kinds of anatomy diagrams and drawings. So I asked myself, what REALLY makes for a decently drawn arm? Β And it came down to what's presented here.
I still believe in knowing all the muscles, but shapes and forms and proportions and interactions form the structure underneath.
Going to keep going this way and head into the torso next week.

Great tutorial! Do you have any tips for drawing more feminine arms?

Thanks!Β
Two things to keep in mind with female arms (and most other female parts) is 1.) female muscles are more ribbon-like and less "bulgey" - think lean and smooth - and 2.) females generally have a little more fat just under the skin, especially over the triceps. Β So although females can have quite a bit of muscle, it tends to be softer and smoother and never quite as "big" overall.
I was meaning for the second step-by-step to be female, but it still came out a bit too thick and bulgy. A little more finesse and you'd be in "strong female" territory. For a more average female, think lean and smooth and soft.
