How to draw a man realistically?

Just like to draw a woman, you have to make a grid on the paper to draw a man .

The upper part of the male body

First you have to draw the upper part of the body , starting with the shape of the skull, the contours of the neck and two horizontal lines for the shoulders (wider than for women), with three widths of the head. Thus, to learn how to draw a man realistically, we start with the head because it serves as a unit of measurement for the rest of the body.

Next, draw the thorax in a slightly triangular shape up to the navel. Then two straight lines down to draw the belly. Inside the thorax, you have to do the pectorals , with a curve that rises towards the sternum; You should mark them more or less depending on whether your model is more or less muscular. Draw the abs with almost parallel lines, narrowing them as you get closer to the pubis.

To draw the arms , you must know the contour of each muscle, especially the biceps. To draw it, you can make three arches:

• At the elbow, at the level of the navel.
• On the wrist, at the level of the pubis.
• At the end of the phalanges, at the height of the middle of the thigh.

You should highlight the rounded curves to highlight the muscles of the arms.
