Drawing from life provides a valuable
means of learning to draw men by
directly observing and studying male
proportions and credible masculine
poses. Magazine images can also be
useful for referencing hairstyles and
a range of movements. Longer lines
are generally preferred in fashion
drawings and while this is also true
for drawing men, the lines tend to
be straighter. They can almost
appear joined up, like a series of
interconnecting points, or with
inflections, which interrupt a line
that might otherwise look too
graceful and feminine.
