After 3 years in this fandom, I finally sat down tonight to figure out how I should draw this damn thing.   At least, for my simplified, “going for the gut feeling” drawing style.  ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Notes to future self:

– Boxes (a) in the arm pit, (b) the top inner shoulder part, and © one row just above the elbow (which interrupts everything)

– Notches (a) going up along the top side and underside of the forearm, (b) bracketing the elbow, © going down from tip of shoulder to star area, and (d) going up the underside of the upper arm.  (Remember that notches expand and shift with the arm.)

– W’s to round out the shoulders, reverse S’s connecting the notches on the forearm

– Hand: Notches (a) under pointer and ring fingers on the back, (b) under middle finger on the palm.  Also © around the base of the palm (going up), and (d) around the base of the thumb.

– There’s a box on the choppy side of the hand, that’ll help place the life line on the palm.

– ???? with the flat Ws on the back of the palm – it’s both higher and lower than you’d expect.

– In the Armpit of Doom: draw some boxes, and some space for wires. Good luck!

GUYZ.  Not only did przed do an amazing last minute pinch-hit of my Wuxia Avengers RBB, she then wrote an SBB fic where Bucky is Chinese-American and his adorable family basically adopts Steve and it’s like a combination of my favorite triad martial arts tropes and 1930s New York Chinatown.  (!!!!)

You should read  Gweilo Gongfu!

Steve Rogers doesn’t know much about Chinese culture when he makes a
wrong turn in Chinatown.  But a chance meeting gives him not only a new
friend, but an entry into a whole new world.  The more he learns from
Bucky, the closer they get, until Bucky is so much more than a friend.  
But when a Chinese gang goes after Bucky and his family, Steve knows he
needs to stand up and make sure the man he loves doesn’t lose
everything.

Anyway, przed had originally sent a draft of the fic to me being like “can you check if the Chinese stuff scans?” and then my hand slipped and I drew smol Bucky and Steve practicing Wing Chun.

I’d *actually* wanted to draw a picture of Steve with Bucky’s family, but I couldn’t make it by the SBB posting deadline.  So… here is the belated family pic, @trappingsofzed!
