The male figure
The construction of a male body varies only slightly from that of a female. The main characteristics are :-Broader shoulders and smaller hips
-Almost absent waist
-Upper and lower leg almost same length.
The general appearance of a male body is sharper and more chiselled due too less body fat and more mus- cles. The 7 or 8 head idea remains and if we want to achieve a more masculine look we can play with the -V- shape of the body, meaning broader shoulders and smaller hips so it optically looks like the letter V. Also accen- tuating muscles will make it more masculine .
Legs are not just straight lines with feet attached, due to the in- tricate play of muscles and bones under the skin, we can make out a distinctive shape. Well sketched legs are a sign of so- phistication and can improve any fashion sketch . Legs should be long and slender with a sculptured knee and a faint idea of muscle, especially around the calf region in the lower part
