How I pratice drawing things, now in a tutorial form. The shrimp photo I used is here Please support me on patreon so I can make more tutorials! :)
Hi Fer! I simply love your blog and tutorials so much, but I was wondering on how you draw masculine bodies? My drawings have been female and slender men, and when I try... it just doesn't look right. So any tips can be really helpful because I want to try and draw different body shapes. Thank you so much! <3
easiest thing is probably to widen the shoulders and up the muscle mass! it really helps to study anatomy so you know which areas to exaggerate. a more muscular/masculine person will have a more defined sternocleidomastoid (in blue) and bigger traps (green); basically a thicker neck. playing with the shoulder to hip ratio will help as well. i guess if you want a super manly man just make him look like a dorito
NOTE: one type of fold will rarely appear on its own - they interact with each other quite a bit! for example, spiral folds might define the outline of a pant leg, while the interior folds might be zig-zag folds.
i’m trying to re-learn how to draw clothing, so i made this little guide to the most common shapes of folds that appear. hope it helps someone else too!

for the anon that wanted more head angles. It’s not explained well, I apologize for that but maybe this will help a little bit.
Finally I got around to this. =ヮ=
Since there are so many different possibilities, this one was hard to make.
It’s hard to want to show a little bit of everything, but keep the sheet small as well orz.
Sorry there is only one shaded example lol (shading folds is a different story I think)
