Which Gender do YOU like to draw?

[AOD] · Post by **[AOD]** » Fri Jul 09, 2004 11:56 am

Myself I prefer to draw women, being a guy and all (heheh...), but barring that, my drawing style tends to use fewer, simpler lines on females than on males, so it's usually quicker and easier for me to draw the former, and given that it's a daily comic and all, speed is definitely a factor in the equation. EDIT: (Wahoozalazuma! How's that for a run-on sentence?)

Et vous?

Neither, then I can make up my own rules of anatomy and no one complains.

Both: I used to prefer drawing females, but guys are just so much simpler to draw (having no boobs, and all).

I like drawing men, actually, even though there are mostly women in my comic. I'm more comfortable drawing women, because I know more about their shapes and forms...etc. But men are fun to draw.

I mostly draw guys as most of my main characters are guys. Girls are more fun to draw though. And I had a period of drawing oversized breasts on everything a while back.

Women. If i get stuck on how something looks, I use myself as a referance. It's harder to do that if I'm drawing a guy.

Plus women are so sexy

I don't like drawing breasts, so I guess that's the silly reason why I like to draw men more.

I hate drawing either, if they turn out looking bad.

But if they turn out right, I like looking at them when their done, and thinking, "Yeah, that's ok. I can live with that."

Wimmings. They say it's always easier to draw your own gender, being that you are one of them and all, but it's strangely the opposite for me..

Not I! *boastful harrumph!* Sometimes it's good to have Jhonen Vasquez as your base style, isn't it? Then all your people tend to look gruesomely anorexic, instead of ridiculously voluptuous! Mwahahaha!

I say women since we're so graceful and majestic and stuff. Women are more interesting.

I chose neither because my best attempts at drawing people end up making them look like evil half-melted, bizarro-creatures.

Maybe I aught to try to draw evil, half-melted bizarro-creatures, and see if they turn out like people...

Iss: Whether men or women are better to draw.
Res: Well Admittedly most of the humanoid characters I've drawn are female I am bound and determined to make most of the main characters male this time, mostly because they are funner to darw but also because I need the help.

Well, starting point being that I can draw males if not good than better, I started practicing on women so heavily that now I'm at the point that I can draw women better, that I sometimes even catch myself drawing male face too feminine. So, women.
But another thing is, that femate body has much more distincted shape, much more common points. Man body is pretty much flat so kind of amorphous that way. That's why it's harder to draw it, even though I practised on male body a lot for the last year.
Except for shoulders, I have problems with female shoulders, I often draw them too masculine.

When I first started my comic, I designed their outifts specifically to hide their boobs, not to mention they were pretty small... Then I got some tips from Prism, and the boobs suddenly got hugeish... Once you make them big, its tough to shrink them down again to where you wanted them. Oh yeah, did I mention I prefer drawing women? I've only got 2 guys in my comic so far, and 5 girls (well, it will be 5 in an update or 2...).
