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.

I don't know why manga/anime artist keep drawing feminine men or boys, when men are such a beautiful thing to draw masculine. since i'm a woman and i love men, i always try to draw my men the most masculine i can.

I love you for this tutorial TwT

A Bishounen can be masculine too!! and a rather preffers those than girly ones

Yep, that about sums it up for me. Men have always been a difficult subject for me to conquer (artisticly that is) and this has really helped me a lot. Thanks! <3

Whoa, you are like... My hero. My male characters have been lacking in their... masculinity. This is perfect for me, and ... well, a perfect motivator to draw manlier men. o_o;

Thanks so much for the tutorial!! <333

I think I've actually commented on this before, but as I stole my friend's tablet I decided to practice a bit.

If you don't want this to be up I will gladly take it off my dA but I always show work to the creator. Indeeeed.
