I love the way you draw musculature. Excellent piece as always.

Yeah, but it takes practice to draw musculature and anatomy, Thanks :)

Wow! I love it and love that pose! Can't wait to see the final one! ^^

I will work on my part soon for a sketch during my absent for a road trip and then will do colouring in around late Aug or so. ^^

Cool, thanks for comment XD *wing hugs and arm cuddles*

Okay, and I can't wait to see your part of art trade

*hugs back* hehe.

Now, it's 50% done.

Whoa! He looks so awesome. That's look really realistic.

He is awesome bodybuilder dragon (but he's deaf)
Thanks :)

Well, the idea in fact is clear here, but um... I see some aspects that looks odd to me, especially the first one:

1) That bulge (no the one that everyone think XD) the one where is a side of the belly, it looks like he has a tumor there ^ ^º it looks very visible, big and out of proportions for that area.

2) This one I don´t know exactly how to explain it, but um... his left arm, the way you draw it looks wierd to me, and I can feel that the direction of the arm and the tail is just the same, it almost feels like if the tails is actually a large and straight tentacle from his arm ^ ^º Maybe ig you can change at least the the shape of the arm because I look barely the elbow, and with some curves to the tail, it might looks better.

I hope this helps you for the next time ^ ^

Agreed. Well spotted!! ^^

Got your 2 corrections for me to do, and thanks for noticing nicely :D

Symbolhero already mentioned the two aspects, I would've written down here, as well:

1) The waist muscle is too huge and bulged (you can't really train it to be this way)

2) Both arms need a work-over! The left arm (which wen can't see so well) is completely wrong; it's twisted, broken and we can see the triceps from here??
The right biceps is ok, but the lower arm and hand don't really work. A bodybuilder in this pose is usually grabbing his own hands, to increase the tension and flexing. In any way, THIS character is not even doing a correct FIST!

3) The head... why do your characters always look like... as if their necks were broken?? I mean, this creature MIGHT be able to turn the head like this. BUT it looks broken.
If you ask me, I would let him look to the other direction... or just straight ahead.

4) I really HOPE you crop the background lateron... to focus only on the character!???

5) The legs and feet look pretty good this time! It surely helped to use the human model.

6) AND if you're going to add veins, check out  djdarkfox or look it up on the internet... OR DO NOT DRAW VEINS, at all. You still don't really know where they are supposed to be!

7) And I would write "flood light" or "head light" in the describtion! IF you are trying to shade this accordingly, give it all your best this time!!!!! I mean... it's good that the flood light is NOT right in front of him, but a little bit to the right side.
Still, the light is very (!!!!!!) bright and will hit him with all power! And his front will NOT have any shades (how fortunate for you).
BUT his back and arms and legs will show some REALLY DARK shadings then.
So, be careful and think before you do it!

NOTE:
I have hidden all my other comments, because I wanted to keep all of this in ONE window! ^____^
Easier for you to read and reply.

Aldo did his best, too, to help me with my artworks ;D

1) Now, that waist should not that big, must be thinner to make it proportion to both tummy and hips.
2) I will show you the reference photo here ---> http://snarlthewerewolf.tumblr.com/.....l-ronny-rockel
You can see that I did with the body pose...however, I did find his right lower arm and his fist not well-drawn -- comparing to the photo! XP...except for his left arm, that looks matching that on the photo.

3) Okay, his head should be changed, now to his left profile-view.

4) I will crop the image to the right side, to make the light source more visible

5) Yes, comparing to the photo, that looks more convenient than arms

6) Veins are a bit complex to draw (there are other pictures and photos that skin veins are so visible than regular one) I'll check out DjDarkfox's artworks, since he draws very well in muscle and vein details.

7) So it's not the searchlight, but a "flood light", heh. I will use my imagination carefully about his shading from the flood light off stage, because it needs logical situation in lighting, shading and brightening the detailed object in different light directions.

So you update your comments, huh? I've seen your recent comments before you hid then

Thank you very much for the comments! :D I will upload more linearts during this trade. ^^

You still need to fix the right hand.

And I would really suggest to change the head...

Excellent.

Thank you :)

Thx.
