When drawing the arms, don't make them straight and flat; arms have muscles, after all. Never draw a straight arm as just a long cylinder .The arm starts at the shoulder. Notice how the shoulder bulges out slightly, and then curves back down. The arm tapes slightly inwards until you reach the elbow. At the elbow, the arm widens again just after the elbow where the biceps are (as shown in the topmost picture here). The elbow itself can be a little daunting to draw. Remember that the arm doesn't just start curving in the other direction; there is a joint, and it should be shown (as in the top and bottom left pic). There are more examples below. |
