There are a lot of great instructors on drawing, the best in my opinion would be the great George Bridgman, i would recommend his book “Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life” . I try to keep two things in mind when i paint.
1. The body is composed of small shapes on top of big shapes.
2. Muscle are more like smooth squares than they are like flat circles.
I like to use painter 7 it contains my all time favorite brush “just add water” under the brushes named “liquid”.
I nearly always paint in black and white first and then color. Wile painting the black and white part i am continually improving the drawing. 75% of the painting is completed at the end of this stage.

This is the stage i start to really use a lot of reference , if i am trying for a more realistic painting.
After the black and white stage is done i may adjust the brightness and contrast of the painting.
Next, the color, i create an new layer “colorizes” some times “gel”
next i lay down a base color , to be use mostly for the shadows, in this case purple. Next i paint more of the foreground colors , i will sample colors from my favorite paintings and real life.

Normally i paint the background last but in this case i already had a background, so all i did was create a duplicate layer of the figure and then moved it over to the background painting.
I made a duplicate layer of the background painting and set it over the figure layer and then set in on colorize so that i would have a complete color match with the background .
I then erase some of the color so that it doesn't look like a tomato lol.
I then blur the edges and the erase the overlap.
And now for the last
I hope you enjoyed the Captokyo's Mighty Muscle Slide Show Tutorial,
