Mini Tip: Drawing Boys vs. Girls - Drawing

In an attempt to actually see what my laptop cam was recording, I used a mirror set up in front of my 'work table'. OoOooooh, am I smart. So that's what the Enchanted and Hello Kitty things are about... I'm not making a commercial for kids toys or something.

Mr. or Ms. Erp asked for tips on drawing boys so I tried to highlight some of the differences showing what makes a feminine drawing vs. a masculine one when drawing in a kind of animated style. This is just my style and some ideas I use, so do what you're comfortable with and what you think will suit you personally best.

Yay! o...o

This is pretty cool I've been trying to figure out these things myself and its difficult

[meandrousart]

@Orcnon Oh, well I'm glad if it can be useful. : )

[bunnybunnybunny]

boo to your gender binary propagation! T_T not all boys look like that nor girls *cries*

[meandrousart]

Ah, don't take it too seriously. I know that it's not that cut and dry. I'm just providing tips on typical observations as per a request. I understand that gender isn't limited, and gender isn't even as strictly determinable a topic as people would like to make it. I'm not trying to establish strict laws and masculinity and femininity in a casual drawing exercise, so no worries, Bunny.

Yes, it is a compliment. :D I don't remember giving you the pencil. hey.. did you technically call it crap compared to your other pencil? skank.

[meandrousart]

You gave me that pencil, too. XD

Um, thank you? Is that a compliment? I'm not sure! XD

You're using the eraser I gave you. <3 I am so speshul. The eyes you do are always so detailed, man. xD Even in a regular sketch.
