Thanks for mentioning it, I'll see if I can fix it today.

I also thought the same about it being too realistic, but when it comes to art composition It's better to have another light source or something to make the art pop.
I'll be sure to add that as well and I'll keep you guys updated!

Here's the final product, I've been working on this piece for about 7 days now and I'm so tired of looking at it XD.
I really hope I was able to make the improvements that were recommended to me, let me know if there's anything I should maybe focus on in the future.
I hope you all have a great day!

Thank you @patrycja.lerch!

Started with some basic muscle studies on references.

I struggled a bit trying to follow along with Marc when he was doing the back muscles since he was drawing on an female body and I currently only have ripped male bodies.

I doubt my muscles layout is very accurate, I'll see if I can come back to it a bit later when I have some better understanding of how the muscles looks like with skin on XD

Hi all, I hope you are doing well.
2024 has been a rollercoaster ride so far, I can't believe its March already...

Sorry for my hiatus, I've been without internet for 2 months since I moved and I recently got a job in retail, so I am pretty busy.

I hope that I'll soon be able to work something out so I can make time to continue my art studies, but at the moment I'm just to tired and need to adapt. This is my very fist job as well so its entirely new for me.

I wish you guys all the best and good luck with your endeavours!
