Starting from the head and working
down to the feet, let’s consider the
male figure in more detail. First the
head shape is drawn differently.
Instead of an oval egg shape the
head usually appears more angular
and chiselled with a squared-off
jawline. A jaw dimple is sometimes
added. Eyes are positioned at mid-
point. Eyebrows add definition and
can be emphasised as a horizontal
line, but not the upper lid of the eye
as this might appear like make-up.
The mouth is drawn wider and
straighter than for women; ears can
be added to the side of the head
from eye level to just above the
nostril level. The neck is not used
to gain height and is drawn to a
more natural length than for women,
appearing thicker and less curved
as it joins up with the shoulder.
