I dig the look of that first Akuma/Gouken pic. Plan on inking it?
nah, it has too many things wrong with it.
eg
goukens hand on the floor.
I think the problem I notice is the fact that your heads are a bit too big(It’s more evident on Cammy and Akuma).
huh, it’s weird how you can never notice things like that without help from somebody else.
is there a little rule for keeping heads to scale?
(like how arms reach down to mid thigh)
I think when you draw certain characters, you should feel more comfortable with drawing instead of trying to get all muscle lines down pack. I know its your style of drawing, but loosening your muscle anatomy game up some you will have great looking characters
not really sure how you mean, could you post up a pic from something as an example in contrast?
idk, I just feel like the lines for your muscles are a bit too tense
To add and possibly clarify. Delineating every muscle group is usually done mainly as an exercise in anatomy, for example:Ibuki muscle group study. Sometimes, when muscle groups are exaggerated in a finished drawing they’re there to show light & shade, form, shape, mass, and, overlap, and/or to show what muscles are being flexed–a couple examples. Notice in those drawings they don’t outline every single muscle. So, when you draw out all the lines for each muscle group it can create a couple of problems: firstly, it makes all the muscles look flexed or “tense” as X_Sword put it (which is a common complaint about Burne Hogarth’s anatomy books); secondly, it highlights the anatomy and by looking at your stuff, there’s quite a bit off anatomy-wise, so keep working on that.
Basically, if you were to draw hair, do you draw every single strand? If you were to draw a tree, do you draw every leaf? Just keep in mind, when creating a representation of an object by drawing it, what you put in is just as important as what you leave out and let the mind fill in for itself. Anyways, keep at it, dude.
thats soul, that’s really helpful.
i am filling them out as i try get better at anatomy, and if i ink them i don’t normally leave in as many lines.
any places to get help on the details of muscle groups?
i only have that cutting edge comic book anatomy drawing book to go on atm.
edit
here are a couple pics i have done since i posted this thread.
(before all the advice though)
i think you can see i am slowly getting a little more acurate with my anatomy.
the main trouble i have is after discovering all the ‘new’ muscles that i dint know about i have no idea how to manipulate them.

also when trying to shade/crosshatch how do you not lose detail.
That last Gouken looks pretty good.
You have a good eye for the poses and foreshortening but like said above the anatomy needs work.( whos doesnt? 
)
As for crosshatching I’d start by making all lines more uniform and not so sketchy. Do each line with purpose not willy nilly. You also don’t need to crosshatch every part and can leave entire areas blank. You only want accentuate the dark areas.
thanks
that cross hatching was more of an experiment than anything else.
i figured mistakes wouldnt show as much with that type of shading rather than proper spotting black type shading.
