Red White and Douche...

Aaaaaand, the black and white line art, because I think I fucked him (yeah I did!) by getting carried away with my artsy fartsy attempt at a coloring scheme.



Man, why didn't I color the background green so I could title this RGB?! Why must my genius wit manifest itself after the point of usefulness?!

Those are pretty cool...I like seeing a finished drawing that goes all the way to the feet.

But you really should be using this guy for reference.

After clicking and getting the full size pic, I have a few more comments. One, I really like your cross-hatch shading (which I didn't notice before under the coloring), especially on red Arnold. On blue Arnold, his arms seem to be drastically different proportionally. I didn't find the original photo you worked from to check, but are his biceps really that different in length? The other sizes seem to be congruent between right and left.

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, and I'm a moron. I can't believe I didn't double check that. It's probably because using reference makes me lazy, and I tend not to plan my drawings out as well. My guess is that in the original photo, he was leaning a little, or the perspective was more pronounced than what I did here. I'll be more vigilant about that in the future.

Thanks again.
