The easiest way to lay out any position of the arms is to start with simplest form.

Draw simple parallel lines to convey the shape of each arm and just use triangle shapes to represent the hands.

 Establish your desired arm position; define both arms, even the one that will be overlapped by the other.

 Define the muscle outline. Convey the curves and cuts of the muscle structure.

Take note of the arm’s gesture and observe what muscles should contract and retract.

(As shown on the example, the biceps should contract because it’s pulling something, and the forearm muscles should look tightly strained and stretched as if what it’s pulling is something really heavy).

Observe how the highlights are conveyed. The highlights on the shoulder means the shape is spherical, while the ridges and crumples represent the muscle structure.
