Tutorial: Arms 1

Right, here goes. Reason [link] commissioned me to create a little bit of a guide to drawing muscular female anatomy. Whilst I don't profess to being any kind of authority on comic or anatomical illustration, this sounded like a goody! So, I was totally up for it. I was even more blown away by the fact that he wished me to share all 16 pages on deviant art, which is seriously good of him! So please, if you find what I've submitted here useful reference or hell, even if you just enjoy looking at it, please stop by Reason's page at the link above and say hello and thanks, 'cos the dude has been good enough to share his personal commission with everybody. I'd really appreciate it and I'm sure he would too!

Basically, by using existing reference photos I've tried to break down how I go about drawing the body and just added notes here and there of what I look for when I'm doing it. I hope all these pages work out well for folk and that they make sense to everyone. Like I said, this is just how I go about things, some of you out there might have your own methods or better suggestions, to which I'm all ears.

In the meantime, enjoy.

Reason dude, thanks very much for the commish, it's been an honour!
