Many apologies for the slight delayed posting of this image! Unfortunately I seem to have caught some kind of food bug over the weekend which got progressively worst yesterday. It has left me unable able to do too much for the past few days, except lay in bed with stomach cramps and crawl towards the bathroom.

I've been really wanting to explore the idea of making my guys even more muscly than ever! However I'm actually not too used to drawing super hulked up guys! Which meant that I had to go back to basics and do a bit of research.

Some of you may remember an image i posted recently on instagram which was the inspiration for this piece! Yes it's starting to get pretty cold around here so much that hanging around naked is not really a viable option!

I find that the best way to go about this is to actually use a pose that you have reference for. Naturally once you are experienced enough with anatomy you are able to imagine the rest. So in this case its really more about taking on reference and re-imagining which muscles and feature to exaggerate! Personally I quite like the end result! and I quite like have i've made him do that abdominal vacuum thing body builders do!

Is life imitating art of is it the other way round???

Reference is always important for an artist! the more reference you have to go into a drawing the better! Which is why i find that the photography I do is generally very helpful!
