Ok, here we go. I'm sure there are better ways to do this, but I was asked, so here it is.

Step 1-..is fairly straight-forward.

Step 2- Take the basic "skeleton" you just made and, well, pump up the size of all the major muscle areas-arms, chest, legs, ect. The pic should help say what I can't.

Step 3- Add some detail. Ahh, again, can't explain how to do that-that is what the pic should do. That, and my style may not fit yours, so adjust the basic principal to fit.

Step 4- Ink, add more detail if needed, erase pencil lines, done.

Ok? Hope this actually helps! I suck at this!

Inferno-Rodan [2009-12-28 22:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Y'know, I think half my problem is that I just cannot do the whole sketch thing with the circles and stuff to make the basic outline. I just... draw it.

Scatha-the-Worm In reply to Inferno-Rodan [2009-12-29 01:28:34 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes the circles are more irritating than helpful until you get used to it. You draw fairly well for just doing it, anyway.

RenDragonClaw [2009-12-28 11:43:01 +0000 UTC]

Pretty neat Scatha. I think the hardest part is for people trying to do muscles of things they don't really know the anatomy of. Like oh say...horses. Guilon was a good example of that as I was surprised how you managed to make him look naturally four legged and still make him tough as hell. The shoulders in particular caught my eye that time.

Thanks, Ren!

Yeah, trying to draw something you never had before is a pain, expecially the muscles. They're whay gives the thing it's shape, too, so if you don't get them right, it looks strange.
