I know this forum is title "Art Help" because it's for people who need help in art. So how do you draw characters with their arms crossed? I tried and tried, but it's still not recognizable. |

Find a reference picture, or cross your arms in front of a mirror. Reference pics are preferable in cases where you're drawing someone of the opposite sex (since the shape of the chest also changes, and in women in tends to bunch their breasts) or if you're a different build (the arms of thin people mean that they can keep their arms together further than larger ones). |
