NOTE: I'm not trying to push any sexual identity agenda or statement with these, so for those calling this tutorial "cis-sexist", keep in mind that tutorials such as these are much easier and simpler to explain this way to an art-education audience.
I got so many inquiries about a male tutorial, so thanks to everyone for their patience. As with my female tutorial, I don't intend to offend anyone with these, so please don't get offended for some reason. These are very generalized body types, so there are a million types in between these.
I may do up some more intensive anatomical tutorials based on my schooling and others' methods.
As before, there are many illustrators out there that know much more than I do, so I highly suggest studying their work and methodology:
Frank Frazetta
Tanino Liberatore
Steve Huston
Michael Hampton
Moebius
John Buscema
Burne Hogarth
Andrew Loomis
Milo Manara
Paolo Serpieri
Phil Hale
Nishimura Kinu
Jeffrey Catherine Jones
Barry Windsor-Smith
Bernie Wrightson
Bengus

Quick question: How does one differentiate a child from a little person? considering both types are about the same head height? Im tired when writing this so if i missed some obvious clue or something pls dont yell at me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, no worries. If I had to guess, I'd probably say that little people tend to have the head size of a grown adult, but a body similar to that of a child.

Ah ok, that does help. Thanks!

Old post, I know, but just in case you're still looking for ways to differentiate short adults from children:
1) children body lines are softer and more rounded compared to adults (think of the term 'baby fat'). You can make the distinction in drawings by making their bone structure and musculature less pronounced. So don't use hard lines for collarbones, clavicles, biceps, triceps, etc. The rib cage is a slightly different matter since that stands out unless they're very overweight, but it still shouldn't be drawn too sharply unless you're drawing a skinny kid. When drawing the neck, remember that the Adam's apple only starts to get clearly visible with puberty, and might not be visible on every adult (yay human variation).
2) an other way to make a distinction is with the face. A child's face seems smaller in comparison with the rest of the head than an adult's. The forehead is larger, and features such as the nose and mouth are smaller. Eyes often appear larger. Like with the body, children's features are often softer and more rounded, particularly at the cheeks and jaw. For a clear example, Just lay pictures of toddlers and adults next to each other and observe the main differences. By playing around with this you can draw children of various ages. The older the child, the less difference there is with the adult face.
I hope this is still helpful even after all this time. If not, sorry for bothering you.

Most of these type of tutorial I've seen use different models, but you show the same model with well-defined characteristics for each body type, and it thus makes it easy to use as reference and really useful. Thank you for sharing

I can kind of understand where some of the more extreme reactions are coming from. When I was a little younger, I could not stand any nudity that did not have a warning filter, but really only for one specific reason: Nudity is forced on everybody through show biz, nonstop, and it's not good nudity. The nudity that is forced on you portrays it in a "dirty" way, kind of? And in a way that is supposed to shame you, while pretending to be "good natured" when it actually isn't. So, I get that. I used to be like that. It's frustrating when it's inescapable and you just want to give your brain a really long break. I've learned how to stop taking that out on others, who actually just mean good.
But, lol, this is a tutorial for male anatomy. Any reasonable person can understand the (very vague) genitals that are shown. So I don't really get their thought process here. Oh well. I'm glad you've found some humor in their comments though xD.
Thank you tons for this, by the way, and for baring with all the stupidity in order to help others out with the male figure. It's awesome of you.

I understand that point for sure and I totally sympathize, but yeah, as you said regarding this tutorial in particular, the genitalia is so vague, it really isn't cause for complaint. I think because of the vagueness, and an attempt to reach as many budding artists as possible, I didn't find it necessary to tag this as mature.
Haha, dA is always a laugh riot.
No problem, haha. I hope to make more tutorials soon! Really appreciate your understanding.

I'm surprised you've gotten complaints about the nudity? I was going to say how I appreciated how vague you already were with the private parts xD

Apparently there's still people on here too immature to handle it. *shrugs*
Haha, thanks!

Yeah, heaven forbid a tutorial about drawing the nude male body have dicks in them.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Ha sorry, no worries, just a natural reaction. I've already gotten a few LEGIT complaints about the presence of dicks in a figure drawing tutorial.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seriously? Just draw a bunch of dicks to piss them off.

Haha, they're actually quite amusing. This is an actual comment I received on this tutorial-
"Could you not add the penises next time, I saved this to my phone and my parents questioned my sexuality, I mean, we know they are males, so the penises aren't really needed next time."
Hahaha, that's a dumbass comment hall of famer right there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, because looking at a dick drawing will TOTALLY make you gay.

Thanks so much for this! This is very helpful for my 3D modeling work!
