I see you are starting to use hatching and crosshatching for the shading . Not bad for a start , but as I said for the lines you should use shorter strokes for the moment to achieve a better blending .
First focus on placing small shadow points on the muscle joints and the most bulgy places , after that ,Β following the way of the first shadow points expand the shadows with lighter grey tones untilΒ the figure is filled , always left some white spaces to serve as light points .
Once you have the volume well represented , adjust carefully the tones by adding dark to the places that shouldΒ , like darker clothes or fur.

So, shorter strokes of the pencil and lighter tones right?

Yes , darker tones for smaller shadow points and as the shadow expands fade it to a lighter and softer tone .

Make it lighter as it reaches the center of the muscle?

Yes . Remember also that depending of where you want to represent the light is coming from , the light point can slighty divert from the center . Take advantage of that to make the volume effect you want.

I see your lines are getting thinner , cleaner and steadierΒ , and you have now a more advance vision of the body structure specially of the forearms. So far you are following the natural progression ofΒ a pencil artist at a good pace .
I see you managed to get the proportions you wanted , a big arms guy , getting things as you wanted is on e of the best advancements you can make. Also good work with the face proportions keep that way. I cant add more without making visual references , im working on it . For the moment I found this video , also this guy channel is really good , I recommend you see the video til the end , is really worthy www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPBkhA⦠.
