*cough* I was wondering if you could make a tutorial or something on how you draw your arms. >=> or if you have any artists you got inspiration from... ;-; your Sourin makes me really happy btw :3

Arms huh…yeah I have to say, arms are a pain for me to draw sometimes. It’s hard to make them look natural and it’s part of what make drawing people so difficult, because if the arm don’t look right, the rest of the body looks stiff. The shoulder, arms, and hands are among the most expressive of body parts, so it’s important to keep that in mind. Everything I know about drawing arms is based off of real life observation lol. (seriously though, I’ll stare at people’s arms, and sometimes my own, when I’m at the gym. If you have especially nice arm muscle definition, I will stare a lot lmao. I also just stare at people’s arms in general too. I promise I’m not creepy.) This is a basic rundown of how I go about drawing arms:

I divide it into three parts, the shoulder part that connects it to the rest of the body, the upper arm, and the forearm. Three tube-like lumps lmao. You can vary the amount of muscle and muscle definition to change it up.
