Muscleman

'''STRONG BAD:''' On today's Skills of an Artist, we're gonna draw one of my ''{title appears onscreen}'' oft-requested specialties: the ''{pronouncing the "c"}'' muscleman. Here we go! We start with a little seagull... ''{draws two wide humps in a basic seagull shape}'' Caw, caw! And a reflection of that seagull. ''{draws a mirrored seagull shape underneath}'' And he's spitting on his reflection... ''{draws a vertical line from the center point of the first seagull down through the second one}'' And now an underjohn. ''{draws an upside-down bump from the second seagull, passing through the vertical line}'' And a second-tier underjohn. ''{adds a smaller one underneath}'' And a third-tier underjohn! ''{adds a third, even smaller}'' And now for to fill out these abs... ''{starts drawing bumpy lines to either side of the "underjohns"}'' some cheese curds. And some more cheese curds there. ''{He has now drawn two "cheese curds" on either side, and the drawing now resembles a heavily muscular chest}'' Aw, that's lookin' pretty good. Now let's do his arms... ''{starts drawing the sides of large, muscular arms, with small bumps in between the muscles}'' you got these little... points wherever his joints come together when the muscles just pinch up 'cause they'res under such strain. ''{draws in the other sides of the arms and adds in small hands}'' Don't forget to give him super-tiny hands to make the muscles look even bigger by comparison. And now let's add some shiny bulge...uals. ''{draws small "bulge" curves on each arm muscle}'' But nothing accents muscles more than bulging veins! ''{draws veins on the upper right arm<!-- muscleman's right -->}'' Here's the slanterior canal veinal... ''{draws veins on the upper left arm}'' and the ulterior canal veinal. And then the neck hump. ''{starts drawing a large hump on top of the body}'' Musclemans don't have necks, they got neck humps! ''{draws a small, ovular head in the middle of the hump}'' It's not a hunchback, it's a neck hump. ''{adds a simple, bland face}'' Now if there's one thing I know about drawing musclemans, it's that you don't want to draw anything below the belt. ''{draws a horizontal line at the muscleman's waist level}'' So let's put him in front of a desk! ''{adds more straight lines in front of the muscleman, resembling a table or desk}'' Couple sheets of paper there; maybe he's hosting a talk show... ''{draws sheets of paper on the desk}'' Or struggling his way through a two-page exam. "Oh, this new-patient paperwork is ''so'' hard to fill out!" And last, let's give him some convulsing bundles. ''{adds motion lines near the muscleman's arms, then around his neck hump; he accidentally erases part of the stomach}'' As his skin strains to hold back the tidal wave of musculature. And I accidentally erased that part. I mean&mdash; I di&mdash; that was on purpose!
