Muscular man
Hi, It's my 1° time drawing a muscular body.I'm drawing since 3-4 years.
So, he is Aaron, one of my ocs, I wanted to draw him muscular because body diversity and I want to be a better cartoonist.
It's my 1° time asking for critique in a social media what is not discord.
What can I do better? Please don't be so rude.
Note: I've drawed the body in 3/4.Jul 7, 2021

Also sorry to spam - if you want a really useful recommendation there’s a guy on YouTube called Marc Brunet who is super good at drawing/painting characters who I think you would get a lot out of watching.

•Hi it’s a really good try - it has all the basic elements on the torso in place which is a great start. There are a couple of things I would suggest to improve. First use a reference, if you are studying the muscles on a human body it is best to draw from reference - pictures of body builders or muscular people are a great way of learning the placement and shapes of muscles and how they change in different poses. Second I would work on proportions. Again this is only really something you get used to after working from references. I suggest maybe picking up some free reference photos or just using google or Pinterest and studying down. After a while you will find you can just draw a realistically proportioned character because you have observed and drawn so many. It’s a long road but one that’s really worth it. Again really good start - keep it up

When drawing muscular bodies, remember that muscles are 3 dimensional and have mass, and they're underneath the skin, they're usually not that clearly defined, even for a really muscular person. Also, be mindful of the size of the torso compared to the arms. Also try using basic shapes to help better conceive of how to build the character design and how it will appear. Try squares and rectangles to give a bigger more strong body type. I hope this helps you, thank you very much for reading, and good luck in your future art!
