not flexing quite as hard but here ya go
Ok that wider shot is better, but there is no tricep. The tricep is the bicep's opposing muscle, the "back" or "rear" of your arm. It's the muscle that adds size to the arm, and has a great horseshoe shape (the bicep adds less size, but more definition). Any forceful movement that extends the arm, like pushups or various presses, work the triceps, whereas flexing movements work the biceps, like curls or underhand pullups.

You have the beginnings of a muscled arm there, but you have to build your triceps to balance your arm, and you need to do full extensions to build the bicep along it's entire length. If you don't work out, now's a good time to start. The bicep shouldn't look like that, and without the balance of an equally-sized tricep muscle it looks unnatural.

(I used to bodybuild, long ago. Not professionally, and without steroids, but I knew my stuff).
