how do you draw such BEEF CAKES LIKE- I’ve been trying to find good tutorials and everything but none if them look as good as yours so if it’s not too much to ask how do you do you make them friend shaped I wanna make a man that doesn’t look like a stick (no offense to the stick men out there bUT PLEASE-)
i mean u can only make so many muscle tutorials out there lmfao i think i used muscle tutorials when i was just starting to draw people more but i mainly just use reference pics now, its just a matter of -yes, learning how to draw muscles, knowing what they look like and where they're placed, the muscle and fat distribution in bodies, ect- but also training your eye to know how they look under the skin and how big you want them like for instance i headass thought Ponti looked like a "muscular beefcake" when i drew him back then here, like that was my whole thing with his recolor was "im gunna recolor him AND make him beefier >:3c" but now looking back bro just had an average body lmfao maybe toned yeah but no where near beefy as opposed to now:

looking at the comparisons i think my issue was I was hesitant to add definition to the muscles and round them out more because the older version looks just flat and straight lined. I'm guessing it's because since I mostly drew skinnier mfs previously so my brain thought adding bigger muscles than that would be "too much" since my brain was so used to and "trained better" with being more acquainted with smaller bodies. ig thats why the joke abt super muscular ppl looking like literal balloon animals is a thing bc yeah thats kinda it on a minute level lmfao
same goes for Ollie like when i drew this my brain literally thought his arms were sOoo BIG even though they're just?? regular man arms?? with maybe a tad bit of definition?? because hes literally strangling somebody

now im sure Ollie has a +10000000% chance of knocking Ponti tf out with these guns lmfao

so really its just a matter of training your eye and your brain as to what exactly you consider muscular, don't be hesitant to add more definition to said muscles and give em some fat to flesh them out more. I'd say most of it is subconscious really like u dont rlly realize u made them bigger until i look back and see n think 'damn a new gym in my brain open up or somthn??' idk thats just my personal experience with it
