All language subtitles for 076 Differences In The Male Female Forms.en

In this lecture let's go ahead and let's talk about the difference between the male and the female body

really quick.

We've kind of already covered this but let's actually draw.

Just so you can kind of get a good visual of it because I'm guessing that most of you're going to be

drawing either female or male characters and whether they're really cartoonish or not they're going

to kind of fall into these two body types.

So the first one is masculine and the masculine one is like we talked about before.

The shoulders are going to be a lot more wide than the hips.

So you could start by just kind of sketching out the collarbone right just something like that.

Then we get the neck and the neck on the male or on the masculine physique is gonna be a lot thicker.

So if we were to draw the head on this the head might just be a little bit bigger than the neck itself

but not by much in some cases the neck might be just as thick as the head

and then for the shoulders the shoulders and the back muscles tend to be a lot bigger and more prominent

on a male.

So this angle right here is kind of almost more of a a line coming across on females it's a little bit

more curved like that then for the Shoulders shoulders are a lot bigger and broader in general.

And keep in mind that it differs from person to person and from character to character so you don't

have to follow these rules.

These are just kind of general guidelines for these two body types.

Big shoulders and then for the chest we obviously get the pack but the pecs are going to be a little

bit bigger and wider on the male

and then it's going to basically move down like this into the waist and you can make this as detail

there is a little detail that you want to if we were to kind of sketch in roughly that rib cage Ricky's

as a base.

And so it's just gonna kind of move down into the waist should be something kind of like this.

And it's almost if you were to break down into very simple shape it's almost just kind of a straight

line like this on both sides and then it kind of angles upwards into the back muscles.

Right right up into the armpits and for the arms we can just kind of use two curved lines like this

could go on like that for the forearm

and men tend to be a little bit bulkier as well so we can kind of beef these up a little bit.

All right.

Something like that

and then again as for I talked about this for but for the rib cage the rib cage tends to be a little

bit more narrow and a little bit more angled upwards around the female it's gonna be a little bit less

like that.

So go ahead and just kind of sketch a female torso really quick.

So for the female torso kind of get that the collarbone going on.

All right.

You get that kind of curve up into the neck

the head can be a little bit wider than the neck since the female neck or the feminine neck tends to

be a little bit smaller.

Another thing is that the difference between male and females is that the female tends to have more

curve like lines and shapes in it and the male has more angular shapes like you see there here.

It's just much more angular and square.

So the female you want to kind of try to get some more curves in there.

The shoulders are tend to be a little bit smaller so we'll just make those kind of smaller and we want

the shoulders to be more narrow than that waist so the waist needs to probably come out somewhere right

about their right.

You can go and sketch in

the rib cage we have the pecs going into that

press

shoulders probably a little bit too large soda and just kind of bring that down in size a little bit.

These muscles here are also a little bit too large.

So kind of tone those down a tiny bit.

The rib cage will kind of be like this right.

And from there that kind of gets to run into the hips and kind of bounce right back out.

You can use an oval here for the hips the legs will come off of that

Dargon some of this and a little bit better so you can see it.

Right.

The guy's legs tend to kind of just kind of go out a little bit but they're a little bit more straighter

lines whereas the female gonna get kind of more angled and curved lines like that.

All right.

So the main thing I'm just trying to drive home is that the waist should be pretty wide or the hips

should be pretty wide compared to the shoulders on the female.

And in this case actually these shoulders are even still a little bit too broad.

So probably what I would do is I would bring those in a little bit more because if we draw a line come

straight up like this and this we wanted to be less broad than that.

So shoulders you probably brought into here

all of this probably needs to be shrunk down just a little bit

here in this headgear probably brought down just a tiny bit

these shoulder muscles.

Sorry this isn't the best example.

Sometimes when I'm drawing this stuff I'm just trying to go kind of quick for you guys because I just

want to get a concept across.

So the drawings don't always come out the best but it's just to really get this concept across that

the shoulders are narrower than the hips.

Right.

So these hips can maybe come out a little bit more if we're doing it come more exaggerated maybe the

upper part of the body would kind of be represented as sort of a rectangle and the hips would be represented

as kind of this curve trapezoid that the legs would come off of

right.

Those are the arms coming off maybe going behind the back with a thin neck

and that's an extreme example right here but you get the idea that basically like I told you before

the female is kind of like this.

That's kind of their main shape of their torso if you would break it down into a simple shape.

And for the male it's going to be more like this also males tend to have more square shape so things

like this and like that and females tend to have more soft curves in their body as far as the line goes.

Yeah.

And that's basically it.

So just keep these things in mind I just want to kind of remind you of them and maybe go into a little

bit more detail about them because it's something that it has been really frustrating for me when I

was first learning how to draw characters was why my females sometimes would come out a little bit more

masculine my masculine characters becoming a little bit more feminine like whichever way but it was

something that I just couldn't really figure out for a long time.

But once I studied it for a while I realized why.

And so I just wanted to kind of really help you guys understand the differences so that when you're

drawing your characters you kind of know what's going to make them look more feminine or what's going

to make them look more masculine.

Thanks for watching this lecture and I'll see you in the next one.
