Male sketching

Here I use a small pencil (Half length) because it is easier to use when standing up at an easel and which is held under the hand, if I were to use a full size pencil it would be more awkward to use under the hand or even when holding it like you would a pen.
 

I start with the head drawing in an oval shape then I try to get the angle of the arms and drawing a line through the middle of them to get the gesture.

Once I have the angle and the gesture I start to sketch a little darker starting where the neck joins the shoulders, I'm not interested in the head in this sketch.

Here I am going over the lines I have already made and going a little darker, sometimes I might hit the lines I put in earlier and sometimes I might find other lines that are more descriptive or accurate.
 

Darker tones are added concentrating on the muscle shapes and trying to bring these shapes out.
