Um...guys have a slim head. Their bodies are similar to girls but instead of drawing the breasts...you use a line. Well that help you at all?

That's what I do. Thinner head, and I use a slightly curved line if they're slouching, which they're usually doing. I also make the eyes smaller than girls'.

Well, first off, the guy has more of a slightly square chin. Their eyes are usually aren'y so big, but that's an exception sometimes. Umm ... Instead of breasts, their chests aren't round (Duh. xP ).

But not a straight line like: |

Not so much of a curved line, but just enough for the waist. You can usually see the neck bone too, with broad shoulders. :3

^_^ I have trouble trying guys too (ppl constantly have trouble telling between the dudes and gals in my comics)

Mm... Guys have smaller foreheads (generally) and wider shoulders (which was already said). I tend to give them a longer face. Another thing I (read somewhere) was that their hips should be narrower than their shoulders (or around the same size. But not wider).

I've been working on drawing men myself. I find if you make the face longer, bring down the top eyelid and thin out the pupils you can make a fairly convincing male. Then again my males sometimes turn out kinda girly looking because I have a thing for long hair. Don't pinch in the stomach like you would for a girl and don't round off the pelvis. Define muscles better. Oh! Thick eyebrows helps too, and thinner eye-lid lines.

That's about all I can think of to help out right now.

In the male body, there are a few solid differences from the female:

1. heads are slightly more square, with thicker jaws.

2. Thicker necks (in general)

3. Wider shoulders + muscular defintion in the arms

4. Thicker hands

5. Chests are broader

6. Torso is drawn with straighter lines, instead of wide curves.

7. Hips are smaller than shoulders.


And there are others, but those are the basics of a standard male figure.
