Description Ok, I know I got a bit carried away with muscles~~~anyways I hope this helps explain what I was talking about earlier. Some things I did not really notice until I started sketching from the source myself. The neck was a bit off, so I changed that a bit. Be sure to look where the lines from the neck are coming from. Also I felt his shoulders were a bit wide and I angled the pectoral muscles more. The head was also at a different angle then your reference (don't know if that was intentional or not).
Also remember muscles flow into each other, especially on the arms! The "V" of the lower arm encases the bicep.

Let me know if this explains everything!

Yes those are the best hands I can do right now ^^

...neck down? Brain, you don't wanna draw the chest. You wanna learn how to draw heads. >>; So *neck up* pictures!

^^ if it helps i did post some head angles you can use as reference. I would suggest using them in conjunction with the same stock images so you can break down picture elements.

I have been working on a chibi prize for someone, so I have been semiproductive.

Mostly deciding what kind of clothes a wind elemental would wear. XD She doesn't seem the type to wear a dress, so it cuts things down a fair degree.
...it's a tad frustrating that I've created her and still can't decide what she wears!

Something light and billowy I would think. I don't see why a dress wouldn't work...maybe look up dancer outfits? They have a lot of movement that would work well.

Hm. Perhaps it would work, surely I'd find a dancer in two or three poses that would match this one too. (Rather, half match it. Enough that I can figure out how the fabric ought to move.) Thank you! I might try this. ^^

I say the hands are absolutely beautiful. And I appreciate this so very much! Thank you!

A curiosity--I know it's mostly the bone that causes the elbow joint to have that bump, but is that also because some of the muscle itself?
Those torso muscles are harder to emulate than I'd expected. XD I looked at a posemaniacs figure to try to see them that time? Goodness goodness it's a surprise.

The head was actually a total accident, too. I'm not good at making my accidents look correct yet, sooo...should play with drawing more 'neck down' figures sometime.

There is ligament that goes over the elbow, but not muscle.
