Description DISCLAIMER! I do not claim to be an authority on drawing men, this is only one of the many methods and it's very far from the best.

Still, I hope it is informative, and that it will be helpful especially to anime/manga-style artists who are tired of drawing bishounen and want to draw manly men for a change.

I'm not very satisfied with this really, I feel I should have drawn more examples (or better examples at the least). If there's anything in my handwriting that you can't read, tell me so and I will translate the hieroglyphics...

Thank you for your understanding.

This is a good tutorial. Perfect explanation of the features of men vs woman. I do like my feminine men, but even the most feminine do have some sort of feature they can't hide that makes them...well...a man! XDDD

Good work! ^_^

This is actually quite helpful, thank you very much for taking the time to make it! While it might not be a masterpiece in your eyes for a novice like me your combination of written notes and visuals are really useful.

I'll have to take a peak at the rest of your gallery. Thank you again.

Ffff, I seriously need this. All my men turn out girly.
Though, it's pretty easy to say that I can turn girls into guys. (Despite how wrong that sounds)

Rusten In reply to ??? [2009-11-08 03:47:17 +0000 UTC]

Personally, I love this. I think this will be a fantastic resource, thank you!

I have been working on a comic with a friend of mine (I'm the illustrator) And I've been having difficulty with some of my characters. I want to give them a more traditional comic feel than an anime or manga feel. I love you style, and if I can modify my own a little to resemble yours, or that of DC or Marvel comics, I will be extremely happy. Unfortunately, with my roots of DBZ fanart, I've had trouble adapting lol.

I know you probably don't read comments on these older things, but I have to send something, as I do for everything I fave.

Thank you for creating this tutorial on more masculine characters. I'm trying to move away from the anime style a little bit and vary my character's appearances, and this should come in handy. Especially the bit on the eyes. Thanks again.

if you press ctr along with + (plus sign)
you can zoom in the browser window, it might help you see it better

this can be done in any web page

I have a major problem with heads and faces, I don't know whatz my deal I practice but it's like the dimensions of the head and angles throw my eye's off.
And I can never draw the same face twice.

BecauseIWasBored [2009-06-07 03:11:56 +0000 UTC]

You have no idea how helpful this is. Especially with the face shape and neck. The neck wasn't something I thought of until now.

Thank you so much for putting this up. Bishonen kind of creeped me out anyways.

I love all of your tutorials, but this one has been one of the most help to me.
I really liked your bit on the noses, one of my weaknesses(Male or otherwise)! And all the examples are a really help as well.
