All language subtitles for 20. Different Male Body Types

Hey, everyone, so in this video, I'm going to be covering male body types and of course, I always

include the references in the downloadable resources.

So go ahead and check those out.

I will be basing off my lectures off of these.

So once we understand the whole anatomy of the figure by pencil, we can go ahead and explore different

body types.

Now, I separated these into well, I mean, the reference is totally organized, but I kind of separated

them into athletic build, skinny build, bodybuilder body type and a more plus size for men as well.

So let's go ahead and get started.

Let's let's first start out with our average muscle build.

So let's go ahead and just draw that real quick.

I'm also going to be doing a I'm not going to be doing the whole entire body this I'm probably going

to be doing just the top half because usually that's kind of where it kind of starts out.

The ladies can, you know, depend on the body type.

And if the person works in that or not many ways, usually for the average build, I would say average

build.

If you're if you're muscular or generally have a just a just, you know, not too much fat, not too

much muscle, just sort of in the middle.

So let's go ahead and just try head here and then let's go ahead and start proportions.

So one hand down the neck.

Clavicle, clavicle, and generally they will have a bit of a sort of triangular build, so let's say

one hand down, one hand down, one hand, don't make sure it's a 90 degree.

And then we can go ahead and divide this into a box, make sure that when you are doing the pelvis box

that the rib cage goes, that it goes straight up in the rib cage rather than fanning out little girl.

So, you know, if you want to divide that by half, you can.

This looks a little bit long, so a little bit shorter and elongate this a little bit.

So it looks more like a half your gap.

Pelvis, so generally a average build would kind of have a slight triangle triangle shape, we have

our neck, which isn't too broad, but it's broad enough.

So this would be good for like, you know, like a male character that is relatively relatively muscular.

You know, maybe they work out or whatever.

And usually a lot of people would draw their characters in this way because it just looks attractive.

So, I mean, I don't think I don't think anybody would really want to draw a guy with a dad, but they

want to draw with some muscular, muscular form to it because it just looks appealing.

I mean, that's why I've seen all the time and and me anyway.

So although I probably should include that.

But but.

Oh, well.

So here we have our deltoid and let's go ahead and just draw an arm real quick arm kind of, which is

out from here.

Let's put one down here.

So so far, it looks like this.

Let me zoom in just a little bit so you guys can see a little bit more details.

I'm drawing relatively small here because last time when I was driving the bodies, it was like really

big.

This I can see better.

So we have our deltoid, which is relatively medium sized.

It's not like a bowling ball, so a lot of the time the muscles will be a lot leaner looking, they'll

be they'll be longer and more natural looking.

Here's our bicep and here's our tricep coming kind of coming through.

And here is our Elbo.

Here's our break, you ready, Alice?

And here is our hand, so as you can see, very nice and lean, not too much muscle, but not too little

muscle either.

Here we have the PECC, which can be kind of fanned out a little bit.

And generally, it's like a healthy build up, I would say here, the LAT's kind of stretching through.

So here is the abdominal muscle area, the sheath from the rib cage down down to the pubic bone, and

then we here we have the obliques, which kind of hand go right above the pelvis.

So that is usually your that is usually your average build.

And if you noticed my reference pictures are from Pinterest because they have good pictures of those

kind of types, they're usually they're like models, like underwear models.

The reason why I chose these kind of images is, one, because they're easy to see and they're very

straightforward.

I'll show some more shirtless just because I want to see the muscles, not the shirt over on top.

So try to find those images to study from.

You can also look opposes online as well.

You know, like an art station, for example.

They have a.

They have a there's a thing called graphic graphic studios, and they have really nice pose packs and

so you can check those out if you want.

So I'm going to.

Is that just a little bit more?

And here are the legs.

I'm going to just Boxer's on top, make sure that we're drawing boxers or pants or any of the type that

rubbing around the form here we have the serious.

So, of course, the legs will be different as well, depending on the body type.

So let's go ahead and do a oh, I forgot to add the straightest muscles of serious muscles.

Kind of connect down to the.

Kind of a little bit bigger than I remember, so they kind of connect all the way down from the.

The kind of connect and kind of fan out.

And I can get down to the obliques.

So now in comparison, let's look at a skinnier guy, more lanky, so if you guys don't know where that

one is, it's probably like in a very more elongated body in the reference image.

So let's go ahead and draw that.

So first, I'm just going to start off with the head.

Crosshairs are a little line cross line here anyways, then we have our neck.

We have our clavicle, so I'm just putting in the proportions first because it's easiest that way.

You can even use, you know, dry and a little bit of the gesture with these boxes, so if this guy

is more pushed out forward, I'm making a box more like this.

Because this one is easier, and here we have divided by half your pelvis, three finger gap.

So once we have this in check, we can go ahead and just start drawing.

So if you're looking at the reference image here, the one where it's like the guy is kind of like long

and kind of slanted looking next to the plus size and the bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

So that's on the lower row.

This guy is very skinny, meaning he doesn't have much muscle mass.

And too, you can see a little bit more of a skeleton.

So unlike this one here, which has more muscle mass and more average build, this guy is very lanky.

And I will draw another example later on.

So actually, maybe this will be the first one or the only one because it's a good example.

So notice how bony the collarbone is.

You want to actually just kind of make it look a little bit jagged even, but it also has a little bit

of thickness then for the then for the neck.

You know, it's also pretty broad, but thinner than if you worked your muscles out.

So it's generally pretty smooth.

This is more of an androgynous looks.

If you want your guy to be a bit more feminine, usually the curves would be softened and they wouldn't

have much muscle definition.

So this is a good example if you want to go a bit more androgynous.

So it has some spit.

Sorry about that.

So I'm sorry.

Just let me.

OK, so now let's go ahead and just, you know, maybe draw in the arms, we could draw on the deltoid

first, here is the arm kind of have it slide out like that.

So here is our deltoid, which is still pretty prominent, but not but not as defined.

So instead of, you know, fully drawing the deltoid, I'm just going to leave it just a little bit

softened.

I'm just going to hint that, you know, it's kind of coming across from their.

And then for the packs, you know, it's still bulges out a bit.

It's underneath the deltoid.

The bicep isn't very prominent, the tricep is a little bit more prominent.

So sometimes you can just, you know, choose which ones to really push out and push in, because if

you just make it all definitive, like all the muscles, you know, very, very pushed out to look at,

it looks very, very bulky.

So sometimes even just softening up, softening out the features and not drawing all the muscles works

well for body types like this.

So here we have the rib cage.

And it just looks like it looks almost like Jello in a way, but so here we have the Sarita's muscles.

Here we have the rib cage kind of opening here.

I here where the center line.

Here we have the obliques.

So simple, very simple, once again, it's just the same process, if you want to add the sheath,

go ahead.

I'm only going to pay a little bit of Apte because there's not much on the image.

So I'm just going to, you know, kind of just indicated there.

So notice how when I do draw the abs, it's not just straight, it's kind of curved because for the

ABS.

It is more like, let's see here, it's more like this kind of shape here.

It's almost like a little book.

And then the rest is kind of just like out there.

So when you draw ABB's, it's sort of this shape.

So just keep that in mind.

So that is our more lanky Poes.

You know, I'm not I'm not doing a lot of muscle definition on this one.

The hips make sure that they're not too wide either.

And generally, the legs would be pretty skinny, too.

So now let's go ahead and move on to a more built, more like a bodybuilder like Arnold Schwarzenegger

kind of feel.

So this is similar to a lot of this is similar to a lot of what's called bodybuilder type or superhero

type body types.

Because if you didn't if you didn't already notice, a lot of the muscles are very much like bowling

balls.

They're very round.

They're very tensed up, and that's because they're flexing it.

So in this case, let's go ahead and just draw the proportions and let's give him that superhero like

lifting arm pose.

I'm going to erase this because I want to save some room.

His collarbone will be lifted up more because he's lifting up his shoulders.

So once again, we have our rechange.

We're keeping very similar proportions here just because it's easiest that way, and then we have our

box.

To fill your gap.

Elvis.

And then we can go ahead and start detailing them out because we have the basic structure here.

So if you want, you can draw out the arm, you know, you can draw them out as simple boxes first overlapping

each other.

So and these are what rectangles are good for.

So we have one arm kind of in front of the other and this one.

Now, we can just overlap it later and we can just also add in there are.

Or their hand.

So let's get started with drawing in their legs as well.

So we had the front line kind of in front of the back, one in the back runs was kind of like that.

So let's first start off with the abdominal muscles or outside of the abdominal of the neck muscles

first, so as you can see, compared with these other necks here that are thinner, this one is actually

really broad because he works out these muscles like the trapezius.

So therefore, it kind of looks a lot bigger.

The more mass you have, the bigger you're, the bigger your everything will be.

So so I would just say kind of make it very, very thick.

Then for the trapezius, it's more boats out, so adding like a nice roundness to it is really nice.

You can even at the Adam's apple.

And here we have the deltoid being really, really bunched up, so really just kind of push that out.

Save the on the other side, it almost looks like a bowling ball, as I mentioned earlier.

And in a way, it's in the image with Arnold Schwarzenegger, looks like the Delta is connected to the

pack, but it's not.

It's more like.

It's overlapping underneath.

So as it stretches, you want elongated, so he has a sternum, he has a pack.

And have it stretch outward like like so.

If you notice the bicep being like part of the armpit here, oops, I don't know if I let's run it out

yet and then it kind of bunches up once again.

So once again, like a bowling ball, here's the other bicep on the other the other part of the base

of the round part in the back is your triceps.

So as you can see that I'm overlapping my forms across the across the wheel, just the the boxes here.

Here is our brekky else, which translates into the elbow.

And here is the brake your radials side.

And have a bulge out this way, so as you can see, they're very around muscles, very big contrast

to like the leaner look here.

You don't have to do all he can, really.

I'm just focusing on the muscles can even define it by just adding some more lines, but don't just

add random muscles where you don't know where it is.

So the reason why I know this is where the muscle, the bicep is because it's upward.

The arm is trending upward before the bottom side, which is a bicep, is going to face upward as well.

So what you flex, that's why we're like, oh, look at these guns are like, oh, look what biceps

like.

You know, that's because the voices are facing upward.

So this way.

Hmm.

Now for the other side, once again, bicep curl really inward because it's tensing up, it's flexed.

Other side is the tricep underneath.

And then here is where the brake break Yeliz is, which is the center.

Here's the break your radius, which tenses up as well as he flexes and then the other side of the arm,

so very prominent.

Here is our big, huge lots, and those tend to fan out really big if we're creating that really big,

giant triangular motion.

Here's where the plots end and where the and where the.

Mr. Anacleto Mastoid begins at 7:00 a.m., other the the Sarita's muscle begins.

So, of course, as I mentioned earlier, they're sort of like.

Let me just try and I do this at all.

Place my letter after this one.

So they're like there's like these avocado slices that the trail down.

So just add it very subtly if you want.

And then here is our big abdominal area.

So he doesn't really have a six pack or a or a eight pack.

It's just kind of bunched up together.

The sheath.

Here's our obliques, which checks out.

And the rest is kind of just history has kind of just like, oh, well, these are just coming out as

defined.

So here's the underwear and you can sort of see a little bit of the muscles, the muscles in the in

the leg here, so if you see the bottom leg once again, it's all it's all separated by the by the sartorius.

Here is the vastness.

Sorry, the rectus for Morris, which is our quad at the front.

Here's our laterals, laterals.

Here's our media blitz.

That's what it looks like.

All right, so that is our body builder form.

Let me see if I have any other ones on.

The other ones are pretty similar anyway.

So that's another kind.

And let's see if I have I should do the legs here.

So when it comes to the legs, it just depends on how the worked out.

So let me go ahead and move this to one side.

So let me change my leg real quick.

So I'll be right back.

OK, I'm backs off, I'm going to be drawing some very muscular legs, I have to know what muscles are

prominent.

So of course it depends on how you work them out.

But generally for a more muscular leg, I'm going off of the image with the just the leg part with the

with the longer underwear.

So if you want to look at that, go ahead.

So first, we're just going to draw the pelvis just to make it easier.

Pelvis, three finger gap.

Obliques, and there we have it, so I'm going to draw some.

You know, really muscular legs after no what part is more emphasized and how they work it out.

So here we have the Tenzer Fortia.

I'm just going to be drawing this through a cylinder, by the way.

Here's the other leg.

Notice how they kind of look like chicken legs, you want to make sure that there is a thickness on

the top and then gets thin as it gets to the kneecap and then it gets thick again once we get to the

calves.

So let's first start off with a.

Withdrawing in the caffe.

S..

So I'm not going to focus too much on the foot here, but I'm just going to block it in.

So here we have our basic leg structure.

Based on the image up here.

Been the reference once again, we separate our leg using the notorious.

And here, as as we see, we see the abductor's.

Which is right in the middle here.

Not in the middle toward it, towards the entire area.

Here we have our medially sticking out.

And no time drawing lightly, because I don't want that wanted to be too defined up at the top.

We had the the the four more the writers for Morris, which is up at the front, and the heat, we had

laterals kind of poking out.

So notice I'm overlapping my forms.

I'm making sure that the forms are showing the silhouette of the leg.

So Bicep does for Morris bulges out.

Here's the kneecap.

That pad down here, he has a bit of a muscle that kind of bunches up as a ball here, sort of the mix

between like the Sartorius as well as the other quads here and from the side, we have our maryalice.

So that's what makes it look really, really bulky and nice looking.

So just by emphasizing those muscles, you can really start to understand why and how they work these

legs out for the calf.

The calf is very prominent.

If it's worked out and tensed up, then we have the other muscles kind of in the front here.

So here we have the front muscles on the shin area.

There's a lot of muscles here, so I'm just going to be grouping them as one.

The calf is kind of left as as little as its own little thing.

So, yeah, that is how you draw muscular legs as well.

Now I'm going to be drawing a plus sized version as well, which is our all the way to the bottom right.

And this will be a lot easier just because it's full of like curves and not very much muscle.

So you don't have to worry about that too much.

Generally, a plus size people tend to be a lot more fun to draw, in my opinion, just because I have

a lot of curves.

But I tend to like the aesthetic of the muscular type more just because an animal that's very common

to have.

So I mean, yeah, I mean, I think one of the exceptions is like just udy on ice.

I don't watch the anime, but I know that the guy, the main character starts off a little bit chubby

at first and then he the more he skates and the more he practices, the more leaner he gets and the

more muscular he gets.

So it's sort of like a transition period.

So anyways, let's go ahead and draw a plus size guy here.

I'm just showing you guys how to draw it in case you want to draw something like that more.

So in this case, I'm making the head a little bit more rounder and plump just because if I make a very

strong jawline, it doesn't fit very well.

So once again, I'm putting in the landmarks clavicle.

Ribcage and notice how I'm not changing the size of any of these.

The misconception is that, oh, the bigger the person is, the more muscular the person is.

The bigger the ribcage is that the bigger everything is.

That's actually not really true because every structure of the person is relatively the same.

It's the muscle and the fat that's added on top that makes it look big, so refrain from the ribcage

way too big because you're going to add more and more stuff on top anyway.

So here, let's see if I have my ribcage and my pelvis, three finger gap, so at this point starts

becoming a lot like, you know, muscle memory at this point.

So now we're going to just add on top.

So notice how when you dry him skinny first, because it's better to do that so you can add on top without

being like, oh, well, this looks a little bit too big.

What did I do wrong?

So it's always good to start skinny because everybody kind of starts skinny anyway, and then you just

build on top.

So if I want to add more fat onto this person or more weight, a lot of it just kind of curves out.

So rather than something like this, it just becomes more like not not very muscular because the fat

and the skin is kind of like just covering all over that.

And anyways, so what this guy here, he has a lot more neck fat than, let's say, Francis Arnold Schwarzenegger

does.

So his neck is broad because because he works it out, this guy here will have more fat around fat pads

around the neck.

So what you get when you gain more weight, such as me.

I'm sorry, I gained more weight.

You get more fat around your your cheeks.

You get more fat around your neck area, around the chin.

So that's why it looks a bit thicker, not because muscle mass, but because of the fat.

So and that's just kind of how it is.

So I'm making this more broad.

And here we have the trapezius, which still is pretty prominent.

It softened, but it's definitely there.

The deltoid is obviously there as well, so the deltoid, I think, is a muscle that you kind of always

see regardless.

Except for when you when you lose a lot of muscle, like from, I don't know, extreme situations like

starvation or whatever.

This guy's packs are a lot looser, so they're not as firm, so they're kind of like, you know, almost

like breasts, but not really.

So make sure that when you are when you're doing something like this more plus size people, that you

kind of droop it down a little bit more because it's relaxing.

The skin is relaxing on top.

Notice I'm not defining any muscle right now, I'm just rounding out everything, so some people also

have like this sort of cleavage look here, add that as well, because that kind of is what it looks

like.

And then here, the skin kind of overlaps and kind of like like kind of flows over.

So doing these lean exercises will help that.

He has a little bit of the tricep, which kind of can come out as well.

And everything is just in general, just a lot rounder and it's a lot more fun when you're drawing a

girl, for example, who is a bit more plus size and curvy.

It's a really fun to draw those because everything is just like, you know, I like very, very pretty

and curvy.

So I have a lot of fun drawing those kinds as well.

But anyways, when it comes to the bottom part, notice how rather than it being straight down with

the obliques like this guy is his is more flowing down like like ribbon's or like like like pudding

or something like that.

And it just kind of flows over the pelvis.

It's still there, but it's definitely a lot bigger.

You have the biceps, which I think I think you worked out a little bit, because I can see it.

And they have the forearm.

And here we have a little bit of the ABS which can which is a little bit more revealed, if you want

to add some fat pads or fat wrinkles or folds, you know, that is very convincing as well.

And that is how you draw different types of bodies.

So here we have the more plus size contrasted with the more built and very, very muscular type, then

we had the very lanky type and then we had the more average type.

So anyways, I hope that was helpful.

Let me know what you guys think and I will see you guys next one by.
