Hello! I just want to say I adore your Sandman art,it's so pretty!!I have a question do you have any tips on drawing male heads or male anatomy?

Why thank you!

Oh gosh, I feel like I'm terrible at giving tips or anything since I don't know where to start or what's... kinda fundamental uuhhhh. It's usually said that masculine features are more angular, bone and muscle structure are more prominent. Feminine features are rounder and softer. But it has so much variety depending on stuff like race or age or body type or just.... because people are different.

I always suggest doing life/figure drawing if possible. The point is to train your eye, observe the forms and shapes and put on paper what you see. The more you do it the more you start to see patterns and when you have just a couple of minutes to draw the pose you figure out the key shapes. I hope that makes sense. There are some websites for practicing figure drawing, like Line of Action and Quickposes and I guess there are pinterest boards dedicated to these sort of photos as well. And when you see a photo with a nice face or a nice body, save it and draw it.

#was this useful at all??? I don't know #I've been drawing for forever and I draw dudes a lot and I just.........draw them?? idk I'm so bad at this #I've learned from so many very specific tutorials floating around the internet over the years and it's kinda hard to pinpoint what would...#...be a good tip to share.#doing image search on buzzcuts gives good results on young adult head shapes :D #hair cut results in general too #or image searching mens underwear for body reference #I wish I could have HQ screenshots of that clip of Tom Sturridge training as refs so I could draw those muscles
