You sick, TWISTED monster! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT JAR OF JAM!? >:O

M'yes, in regards to the last time we spoke, your anatomy is better in this one overall than in the last one, 'cept this time the arms are too long as opposed to the legs being too short. :P

With the first one in the top left corner, aside from the left hand's thumb, everything seems to be in order in regards to your style, but the one below it to the right has an elbow that is a bit too long.

Hold fold your arm and hold it up perpendicular to your head, you'll find it doesn't stick out too far, it's the forearm and hand that make the arm seem so long in your eyes.

Muscles are tricky, and I certainly have my own share of issues myself when tackling cartoonish-realism. The best advice I can try to word this is that by once again folding up your arm, you'll see that the muscles contour around the bone, but bulge out further on the outside of the bone. That's why biceps and the radialis ripple while along the bone it is so much flatter.

Yet, while flat, the arm bones are curved. Unless one is unbelievably jacked, the curve is smooth and doesn't have any indents.

As always, the more you look around and practice, the more you'll see that your work is improving in regards to anatomy. At that point, all that is left is to learn how to stylize it in your own way that you think looks nice. :)

Practice makes perfect, and fear not, I shall be doing the same. haha

Thanks Syrup!

I've been holding off on actually studying anatomy, but a nice review gives me the motivation to go ahead and focus on practicing ^^
