Superman sketch

Well, the face is admittedly one of my generic male's, and I wasn't quite able to get the effect I was after with the motion blur (is it possible to apply it like a gradient where it gets increasingly blurred towards one end?).

But I quite like the muscle work, particularly on the legs. And it was fun to work in Superman's great primary colours.

A little bit of anatomy constructive criticism ;)

His left arm, the one pointing up...the muscle group at the top of the arms, the ones above the biceps, they would be at the back/top of the arm in that pose. The (chest) pectoral mucle would kinda connect to the bicep. Hold up your arm and look at how it works ;).

Hands look a bit wrong, but then hands are damn difficult.

Like the symbol on his chest, you've managed to make it look like it curves properly.

Another thing, one which I stuggle with and am working on, when you are drawing pick a single light source, and draw all contour shadows with this source in mind. There are conflicting shadows in this image. I do the same thing in mine, just tend to do shading around the curves :/ . I have to concentrate not to just slip into doing that.

Just to clarify, by top of the arms, I meant nearest the shoulder. Ie the shoulder muscle.I think they are the deltoids???
