A not for those with the tutorial, could you please let me know exactly how you thought the tutorial went? I want to be sure that for the next one I address any issues that this one may have had, so please let me know what you think! Also, I'd LOVE to see what you guys do! So please send me the pics you make!

I liked how you color coded the process and used a top to bottom approach for each page. I think the tutorial could use some numbering of major steps. Although I can appreciate the anatomy references, I think the anatomy terminology will throw some people off and become intimidating if they're novice artists and don't have a solid foundation in anatomy. So there will be a lot of back and forth from their drawing to your muscle chart. Since you'll be streaming your drawings, you may want to think about making video tutorials! :D I think my favorite part of your tutorial is drawing the face! I used to be obsessed with drawing portraits, so I might try that first. The skeleton model you used for constructing a figure will be something I need to get used to drawing. Also, at the part where you said he's just missing a few key factors that make Cayden, Cayden...I was like, you must mean his cock! But nope lol. You're such a tease! All in all, I really enjoyed the tutorial and the amount of effort that went into making it. I might just turn an old sketch I have into Cayden. I'll definitely work on it this weekend, though, and post some progress!

Video tutorials... There's an idea! It would also save me hella time when making the tutorial! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I will try to make the next one even better! Oh and I can't wait to see your Cayden ;D

I felt your tutorial was incredibly easy to follow because of the colour coding process you used, it was very in-depth, too, and covered things that I wouldn't have thought to ask as well. It's really cool to have that insight into how you build your characters up! There's a few things I want to try out with my own drawings now :)

Thanks for the tutorial! The leg part will surely help me a lot, since it is where I struggle the most!

I thought that tutorial was great and I look forward to whatever else you're going to release! I'd just like to say that you did an amazing job mapping out the musculature and blocking and also putting in all the anatomical names xD (One thing; the pectoralis originates from the sternum, and it inserts beneath the deltoid, not vice versa. Just FYI <3) For next time, I think you should add proportions or some sort of a guideline that you typically use next time, especially for beginners who haven't had much practice at anatomical shapes. (e.g. a tutorial on the "Series of directional lines" you mentioned about arms and legs.) *** tldr; a video tutorial explaining how you go about creating unique characters (or all of your men's anatomy/proportions) would be neat~ *** Also, would you mind if I used your lineart/warm ups for coloring? I won't post it anywhere unless you want to see, of course.

Like the other commenters, I like this tutorial a lot, and particularly the very clear color-coding of the muscles. Unlike K, I like having the real muscle names right there. It makes it much easier to consult other references, compare to other anatomy books, etc. I can see it might scare someone new to anatomy, but it's like trying to teach chemistry without naming the chemicals. We need to know the names that everyone uses for important things, so we can communicate with them and learn more on our own. One thing I'd love to see in a future tutorial is blocking. Your characters always have a great sense of weight, and either stability or motion. They look like they really belong in the space of the drawing. I'd love to see you talk about how you use staging, posing, perspective, camera viewpoint, etc. to develop poses and images that feel "alive," rather than just marks on a page. This gets into weight distribution, lighting, and tons of other subjects, too, but I'd love to see a discussion of the things you consider most important, and how you use them to build such great images.
