Hi there~ I signed up on CA ages ago to improve in my art but was always so intimidated by all the great artists I saw that it's taken me this long to upload something...anything. I don't even really know my way around the site

What I want to learn how to draw is proper anatomy for people. I started drawing about three years ago but all I drew was anime and avoided life drawing because...I didn't know any better and hated it. Well that explains why I haven't improved much!

But I've been enlightened(with a lot of kicking from my friends) and I really want to improve and draw characters with more muscle and body tone...and I want to be able to draw good realism. So I hope to upload life drawing almost everyday in order to get some good hard critique. Please don't hold back, I need all the critique and advice I can get.

I was concentrating on the muscles and trying to get the shading right. My first attempt to draw something like this. Photo was something I found on DA since it has an abundance of stock photo's. I attempted to colour the skin but then gave up.

I learnt a lot in drawing this guy though in terms of muscles ^^;;;

It looks good Rinelle!
what I would say is that the shadows on the side that the light comes from are a bit strong!, which makes the light look omni directional? your obviously going for a bold lined look but maybe then, thin the lines a bit on the side exposed to the light?
Thats all I really have :)
