@Tygerson: Thanks! Yes, now that you mention it, the arm posture is a bit unclear. And it almost always is a value thing :) Except when it´s a proportion thing ... So here I could try to darken the whole upper arm so that it recedes back in space a bit, or I could not let the arm bend at the ellbow and lead it down sllightly straighter so it won´t give a cut off feeling. I also decided to paint that sketch as I liked how it turned out, so I´ll post that soon (hopefully without mistakes)
This here is an example of a practice sketch where I had no idea what to draw. So staring at the blank paper, I did some anatomy practice, trying out what I remember about muscles. Next I changed the posture of the arms. I thought the guy should yell, because the sketch felt like he would :) After that, I had the feeling of it being too generic, so I changed the hair to some tentacles which caused him to become sort of a merman/human hybrid. Then I thought water would be cool, so the wave started to form and last I thought, hey, he could use some friends (that would also help with composition :) )
