Fantastic pic SinD.  I like the innocent look she has about her (or am I just seeing things?)  Keep it up.

Very promising work.
I'm certainly not an artist, but I have been looking at muscular women now for a while, so might I provide some constructive criticism?

1.  Her facial proportions look a little 'off' to me – then again, the angle at which she has her head must make it difficult to get the face right.

2.  The joining of her trapezoid to the neck on the near side is a little awkward – it makes it look as though the back of her neck has a convex, rather than concave curve.

3.  I'm not entirely convinced by her right thigh.  Whereas her abs, calves and arms look really muscular, the quads look rather 'inflated' rather than ripped.  The shape looks a little odd also.

Otherwise, it's great. 8)  There are plenty of images of FBBs and other muscular women on the boards here at Amaz0ns, so it might be useful for you to trawl those in order to brush-up on the finer anatomical points of female muscle. 🙂

Edit:  Scrub that – I've just realised that talented artists on here have pronounced your anatomical detail as very good, so I'll bow to their greater knowledge and shut up.

Yup Scott I went for innocent,thanks. ;D
Now Cpbell,please never "shut-up" as you put it.I am posting to this forum because of the wealth of knowledge on it.You do not have to be an artist to critique art and frankly I think your observations are spot on!1) I am working hard on faces and that with that angle I did myself no favors 2)Trap is off. I was trying so hard not to go too big I vexed instead of caved…lol. 3) Legs are presently my nemesis and I am building a photo-archive to help myself(and Jebs anatomy drawings :))I am presently over-inflating them and creating a pumpkin effect.
While I have had some kind words from the local(super)talent I have also recieved a lot of great advice and I know I have a long road ahead. I drew this with only a overweight co-worker to model. Very funny, but this helps you find out where your memory and reality are not connected.Ok I am rambling now…sorry.My point-Please keep prviding input when ever you can. I think every artist,established and hack,is better for it.

Thanks, SinD; I did feel very embarrassed when I read a few of the established artist's comments.  By the way, I thought your representation of her arms and especially abs was brilliant – the downsides require, after all, only minor tweaking.  Having looked at FBBs' thighs in photos, it strikes me that what at first looks easy to draw might well be very tricky – there seem to be a lot of subtle curves.
