I was looking for a tutorial yesterday on the web that gave a lesson on "how to draw an arm step by step”. Unfortunately I did not find one. So that is what made me want to do a lesson on an arm.

I personally think that this arm came out wicked cool and I know some of you will not approve because of the blood and such. I just want to remind you guys that this is purely drawn out of fun for the Halloween season.
