I know the hair is bad. But what you mean with his body?

Yea I did. But there isn't a image with his arm down from the side. =[

Maybe this is some better?

Hello Hidde,

Maybe it would be better if you first would
draw the figure with pencil.
Take for instance this (Nudity!) from the website that
Metaru has adviced flip it horizontaly and draw it.
It comes close to what you are trying to do and while
drawing it you can maybe find the proportions for your
pixel.....


Best regards from

I made a better one. I took some refferences and deleted the hairs to make first the body right.

How about this?

Because there where no tips. I worker forward myself. I added his legs.

Maybe like this? I gave him a boxer too. Because he more looked like a girl :P

the hand look like they are swollen. make fingers longer and thiner

Got 2 versions of his arm..

When drawing human figures, whether realistically or anime/manga style, you need to have an understanding of basic anatomy. Remember the How to draw Characters (Male) and (Female) tutorials? The third step is to draw the anatomy of the figure, but without basic understanding, it’s really quite a difficult task to accomplish.

But never fear. Although the body is a complex piece of biology, it can be simplified so that everyone can understand. When drawing the body, you need to at least have an understanding of the major skeletal muscles. These include biceps, calves and abdominal muscles as well as others that you might not know the names of.

In the example below, I have labeled the major skeletal muscles. Although you don’t really need to know the names, other tutorials in books and sites may use these scientific terms, so it’s also good to remember a few.

The major information you should get out of the example below, is not actually the names of the skeletal muscles, but the locations of certain parts of the body. These are labeled in bold. It is also good to spend a bit time remembering how the body looks and how to draw certain parts, so go wild. Also notice how the waist is almost as thick as the shoulders, which is one of the key features that make men and women different.

When drawing the male body, it is usually a good idea to define the muscles.

Finally, if you want to draw the body, you need to know the average length of certain body parts. From previous tutorials, we have learned that the hand is big enough to cover the face and the adult foot is equivalent to one head. For the length of the legs, look at the Body Proportions tutorial. Usually for adults, the thights and the calves are both one and a half heads each. Sometimes it’s longer, depending on the height of the character. What we haven’t covered though, is the length of the arm.

Usually the Upper Arm is equivalent to one and a half heads. The upper arm consists of the shoulder all the way down to the elbow.

The Lower Arm is equivalent to two heads. The lower arm consists of from the elbow all the way down to the hand (with straightened fingers). Examples are below.

I hope you learned something today whilst reading this tutorial on the Male Body as well as Basic Anatomy for Drawing - Realistic and Anime. Remember to keep practicing, especially since the human body is quite complex, with many different poses and angles that can be drawn. Bye for now ^^

Now there are no excuses: i've posted the whole tutorial here. read it, study it, and show us how courageous you are agaisnt the evils of human anatomy.

Made some new things.. I had some good tips too on pixelation

Here is the new version..  

Got any tips?

Well, I think it definetly looks better than the bigger ones :)

Hidde,

Please, please pretty please make a proportional
correct figure before you do anything else.
Metaru gave you excellent advice, yet it seems
you aren't listening.

The body is divided somewhere along the waist area.
So the number of heads on top should be the same
at the bottom.



Count the heads, read the posts and adjust
the picture please!

Translation:

Hoi Hidde,

Kun je alstublieft de tips van Metaru volgen en
een correct proportionele figuur maken.
Het midden van een menselijk figuur zit rond
het kruis. Dus de hoeveelheid hoofden die
boven zitten moet gelijk zijn aan de hoeveelheid
hoofden aan de onderkant.
Over het algemeen zitten er vier hoofden in het
bovenste gedeelte en vier hoofden in het onderste
gedeelte.

Groetjes van,

Best regards from

perhaps he migth realize that when he first learns these traditional proportions.

I changed his arm a bit because he was so small..##

But now I'm in trouble with his legs..
The look so bad :P
