Hercules presents a major anatomy challenge with his exaggerated muscular build. Drawing Hercules requires attention to chest, shoulder, and arm muscle definition across his bare torso. His warrior aesthetic differs from other powerhouse Avengers like the Hulk. Other mythology-inspired Marvel heroes include Namor and the Asgardians.
