for some reason I draw the opposite jaw shapes for each gender and this video really helped me realize that and now I know what to think when drawing each gender now! I actually learned a lot, thanks!
I know it's been 5 years but if you see this, thank you!!!! I'm amazed that throughout the 100s of video tutorials I've perused while learning to draw, this is never covered in details or even hardly mentioned! I guess I didn't know to look for it, but some of the bits in this video just saved me hours of smudge tool. I can't express my gratitude enough, thank for you sharing!
Seriously every time that "triggered" showed up I lost it hahahahhaa I've never studied anatomy or the human skull but surprisingly I know most of these things through subconscious observation as well as trial and error, but this is really cool cause now I've got the knowledge to back it up and I feel more aware of it all now! Also very interesting seeing you transform them into the other gender with just a few differences. After the gender differences, could you make one for age differences? Maybe you can add a little tip about that in part 2! Looking forward to the next part!
Ah! I will keep this in mind. But in case I don't cover that; the main differences for age is that certain parts of the skull will keep growing - such as the ears, nose, and jaw. So faces will tend to look wider/shorter and the nose and ears will look exaggerated for older people. Young humans appear to have bigger eyes as well, mostly due to the relative locations of the nose/mouth/chin ratio, but those things also expand. Hope that helped!
This is awesome! I tested this by drawing a basic female face and then scaling up/stretching out the head and features except for the eyes. It was instantly more masculine and then it became really easy to adjust the placement of the features slightly. Awesome informative video Ahmed!
Skull also varies because of ethnicity - Caucasian, Asian, African, etc. :D Mainly eye socket and nose bridge. Nice video! I hope for more anatomy videos! They're so underrated as art studies!
Really great vid. I hope you do like a whole body anatomy tutorial one day. I don't care if it's a 4 hour tutorial, you're pretty funny so I don't mind. (That "triggered" is the best)
Ok i see now! Thanks! In my mind I think I was over simplifying the differences, your examples really helped me understand how even "minor" differences such as the brow line and facial spacing can make a HUGE difference. Seriously, very helpful video :)
this just blew my mind. It seems like common sense but i have beed doing it so wrong this whole time! I have been using a male skull to study from and drawing almost exclusively women! I have been wondering why all my women end up looking like Dolph Lundgren. I think this is going to really help me out on my artists journey to get better! Thanks man!
Guy: 1. brow ridge due to bigger cranium. 2. Eye socket . Same size as women 3. Nostril and mouth farther away from eye, due to bigger jaw. Girls: the opposite traits of men I will use these tips more in my drawing of women. Thanks 😊. Very useful video 👌👍💪
Your technical videos are some of the most useful i've found, your colour tutorial was also especially helpful if that gives any insight into the content i've super enjoyed! Also vlogs are great. greetings from Toronto!
"triggered". I actually "LOLed" haha. I like how you're incorporating humor into your videos while still remaining entertaining and informative! Dat youtube growth doe!!!
whats the music? its very calming. Also fantastic video, actually had trouble before differing the head masculine or feminine on my artwork, but your tutorial helped a lot. Can't wait to see other content you have in store!
this is a great video, it really backed up observations that I "kinda sorta knew existed" if you know what I mean, but didn't know the theory behind it. shame it attracted the tumblrinas like a bright light, though.
Thank you very much for this one. I got problem with jawlines that's why my drawings get messy when I try to draw male or female faces. A lot of point are clear to me now.
Grear video as always, your explanation is always so clear and easy to understand, more anatomy vids plz 🙌🏻❤️ thank you! also I cracked up on the triggered thingy 😂😂👌🏻
I think it would help if the male and female references you were using were from the same ethnic group that way it's an even more accurate representation of what the sexual dimorphism should look like. Otherwise good video!
this is very interesting and honestly these are differences I've seen in every day life but somewhat ignored them. at the same time, while all you said it's true, I feel like in the end it's just how you make your character read as male or female, or even androgynous, because males can have feminine features and females can have masculine features. this is a topic I've seen featured on Concept Cookie and I feel like it's an interesting thing to look through, and it might actually help a lot with character design, or even portraits. but specifically for character design, it would come down to backstory and behaviour, and by that I mean if you were to have a male character that acts very feminine, you'd give him softer features at least around the face. like, it comes down to a psychological level; the mentality of a person is based on the genes, and if those genes belong more to the feminine side, though the body is masculine, it still translates into softer features. also that triggered thing made me lose my shit so much lmao
Trigger jokes are NOT old and do not apologize to people for having a sense of humor, please. These people have nothing better to do than be professionally offended and they deserve no credence... BTW THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO HELPED A LOT AND SUBBED
+Camara Ajamu this video is as old as the joke, and you're right it's not creative, not that it was meant to be. But the meme definitely was funny during its time.
This was really interesting on two fronts: one, I don't know enough about scientific anatomy yet. two, most people call me handsome rather than pretty although I'm female, looking in the mirror and low and behold I have a subtle brow build up and a more square jaw. I'll definitely be practicing those differences, you explain things really well :)
By your profile picture, it seems you use makeup. I'm not sure if you've already tried this or whether it is relevant, but couldn't you just highlight it to make it appear more feminine? (if that's your goal, at least)
Michael Ci I have reasonable skin and so I'm not wearing any foundation or contour. Eyes, brows and lips only. (if i use dark makeup the camera ignores most blemishes because of the contrast I guess?) A lot of drag queens make their jaws more feminine by putting contour under the jaw but that looks too harsh on me. Do you think if I put highlight instead it would round it off? And if so would I put it by my ear where the jaw meets the neck or nearer my chin?
Michael Ci the sentence "I'm no professional at anything by any means" is going on my CV 10/10 inspiring. But yeah it's almost scary what people can do with make up. The silent hills movie is almost all make up and practical effects, it's mind blowing! It's true, it'll wash off and it's not like I can't try both out and see, good idea though. Together we may make a feminine face outta mine yet :')
That was fucking interesting i didint know the craneum was so different One thing tho, how do you vary the facial features from person to person enough to make them look different, i struggle a lot with it (on female mostly), ending up as a weird creature resmbling a human...Specially when I want to draw two "attractive" faces, they both end up way too similar.
I struggle with the same thing. Try drawing people from different races by using references, and notice what makes them differ from each other. Like make one have a long nose, other a square chin, someone pointy eyes and other freckles and bushy eyebrows. It's the little differences that makes them different and stand out.
Baka Iggy Never thought of doing that, gonna try, but do you know any place to find photos of people? I know a few but, the more the merrier or something like that :D Thank you for the answer Mr. Baka!
Yeiraw Raw I usually practice with poses, but I'm pretty sure they have facial poses as well. I use these so I hope it helps you too! reference.sketchdaily.net/en/ artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/face-expression-practice/ www.quickposes.com/gestures/timed
He picked extremely dimorphic examples for illustrative purposes. the differences aren't usually that extreme. There's generally not that much of a size difference. 1-2 cm, tops, and there will always be people on the outer edges of the bell curve. The models he chose are also of different ancestral backgrounds. An Asian male skull might look more delicate than an African female skull due to evolutionary adaptations to environment and sexual selection.
so I know that this is specifically highlighting the differences between males and females and such but do/have you ever apply/ied typically masculine features to a female character and typically feminine features to male characters?
Loved the video! Thanks so much for for highlighting the big distinctions when it comes to males and female structure! If I could ask, what music do you use in the background of all your videos?
I've had issues with drawing feminine faces realistically, they are ether too cartoon like or sometimes look male. I think this will help going forward.
Hey Ahmed, in honor of Pokemon Go basically taking over the world as we know it can you do a Pokemon VR painting video? Or a digital painting of various Pokemon?
In korea it’s not very common for people to do the v line surgery ESPECIALLY celebrities. Of course it exists and people have it done but it’s not that common
Yeah, It's just awkward. Like the whole light hearted "IM TRIGGERED" is like haha ok fine we get it tumblr is overbearingly obnoxious and sensitive, but seriously repeating and thnking your hot shit (edgelord cough) make s me want to hate this video. I LOVE ahmeds videos, I love science and drawing, but people shouldn't bring social politics or whatever. I'm here to learn, not read a reddit thread
***** I completely don't mind the joke yo! It's just the overbearing repercussions of the fans, like a pewdiepie epidemic.(god knows no one needs that in comment section) Just a place for certain things for certain people I guess. That is what it felt like to me anyway! hope you understand
This is an awesome video! though part of me wishes you really went a bit further with the painting over, specially with the jaw, just a few more brushstrokes. It would've made the point hit home or whatever. Ya slackin Ahmed and that triggers me! great vid though
I just wanted to watch the video for the tips but the ... Joking parts the "jokes" were pretty annoying, could've done without it. This comment section is pretty bad too. I enjoyed the difference things though.
I personally found the constant triggered distracting and slightly annoying, but the lesson was good. I hadn't noticed the differences much and will definitely be using this in further pieces and character design. :)
for some reason I draw the opposite jaw shapes for each gender and this video really helped me realize that and now I know what to think when drawing each gender now! I actually learned a lot, thanks!
I think you should do more anatomy videos, because you explain things very well.
Thank you, will do!
This very helpful. Its rare to know this for free. Thanks!
YEAAAAAS! Pleaaase! Aaaaarms and leeeeegs
I know it's been 5 years but if you see this, thank you!!!! I'm amazed that throughout the 100s of video tutorials I've perused while learning to draw, this is never covered in details or even hardly mentioned!

The MGS sound effect tho!! XD Nice touch man, nice touch :D
Alright, I'll try to take notice of that myself and maybe do some exercise to see in in front of me like you did! Thanks a lot, Med! :D
Thanks for the awesone video. You made me aware of many many things I had forgotten. (lol TRIGGERED)
your name is funny thought
+LETRO Thanks!
no problem
This is awesome! I tested this by drawing a basic female face and then scaling up/stretching out the head and features except for the eyes. It was instantly more masculine and then it became really easy to adjust the placement of the features slightly. Awesome informative video Ahmed!
+Melody Borg that's what I like to hear!!
You forgot about the neck differences. Males neck's wider than females.
Great video tho
Skull also varies because of ethnicity - Caucasian, Asian, African, etc. :D Mainly eye socket and nose bridge. Nice video! I hope for more anatomy videos! They're so underrated as art studies!
Really great vid.
I hope you do like a whole body anatomy tutorial one day. I don't care if it's a 4 hour tutorial, you're pretty funny so I don't mind.
(That "triggered" is the best)
I feel like "Models Painted to Look Masculine" is a great concept for a novelty tumblr blog.
i just recently subbed to your channel today and im already IN LOVE with ur art
I about died every time the TRIGGERED thing came up. Ahmed, you're even more awesome than I thought you were. :)
Ok i see now! Thanks! In my mind I think I was over simplifying the differences, your examples really helped me understand how even "minor" differences such as the brow line and facial spacing can make a HUGE difference. Seriously, very helpful video :)

Guy:
1. brow ridge due to bigger cranium.

3. Nostril and mouth farther away from eye, due to bigger jaw.
Girls: the opposite traits of men
I will use these tips more in my drawing of women. Thanks 😊. Very useful video 👌👍💪
The "TRIGGERED" part omg I'm crying 😂😂
Your technical videos are some of the most useful i've found, your colour tutorial was also especially helpful if that gives any insight into the content i've super enjoyed! Also vlogs are great. greetings from Toronto!
+Connor Fischer cheers brother! Thanks a lot :)
This tutorial illuminated things anatomy books couldn't spell out simply. Thanks!
i hav been looking for weeks for a video like this, thank you!
This vid really helped me w/ my struggle of making everything look feminine.. A video about drawing androgynous people would be really cool too btw!!
Your videos are my favourite. The way you explains things and do things are great. Your videos are very help and keep my attention. :)))
"triggered". I actually "LOLed" haha. I like how you're incorporating humor into your videos while still remaining entertaining and informative! Dat youtube growth doe!!!
Wow an anatomy video that's not the usual bore! I loved this have to subscribe, u're a great teacher!
whats the music? its very calming.
Also fantastic video, actually had trouble before differing the head masculine or feminine on my artwork, but your tutorial helped a lot.
Can't wait to see other content you have in store!
this is a great video, it really backed up observations that I "kinda sorta knew existed" if you know what I mean, but didn't know the theory behind it.
shame it attracted the tumblrinas like a bright light, though.
+na gongshow ha naw only a few lol
Every time that "TRIGGERED" pic and the "!" sound effect comes up I just start laughing 😂😂😂
You should be a anatomy teacher
Thanks for this video. It seems so obvious when you point it out like this!
I was about to do this study, but this video will make it way more easy.
I have not noticed all this untill now. Thanks for the vid Ahmed :D
Thank you very much for this one. I got problem with jawlines that's why my drawings get messy when I try to draw male or female faces. A lot of point are clear to me now.

Trigger jokes are p old and unfunny tbh. It's not creative.
+Camara Ajamu this video is as old as the joke, and you're right it's not creative, not that it was meant to be. But the meme definitely was funny during its time.
Ahmed Aldoori Yes it was funny to the crowd which enjoys lowbrow humor that conflates controversiality with being funny.
We’ve moved on from this.
This was really interesting on two fronts:
one, I don't know enough about scientific anatomy yet.
two, most people call me handsome rather than pretty although I'm female, looking in the mirror and low and behold I have a subtle brow build up and a more square jaw.

Sage Cat I'm no professional at anything by any means, but I think that could work. I've seen a lot more advanced things done with makeup.
Sage Cat I suppose since it can wash off it's always something you could try at home to see if it could work for you
Michael Ci the sentence "I'm no professional at anything by any means" is going on my CV 10/10 inspiring.
But yeah it's almost scary what people can do with make up. The silent hills movie is almost all make up and practical effects, it's mind blowing! It's true, it'll wash off and it's not like I can't try both out and see, good idea though. Together we may make a feminine face outta mine yet :')
This was exactly the help I didnt even know I needed, and the triggered bit made me lol
Thanks for the vid man, it was really helpful. More young artists should watch your vídeos
your videos are incredibly helpful, thank you so much for making them
I was on the fence about whether to subscribe or not, but the 'triggered' part officially won me over. Very funny!
lmao, that triggered joke was great xD i did not expect it and had to go back and pause it
That was fucking interesting i didint know the craneum was so different
One thing tho, how do you vary the facial features from person to person enough to make them look different, i struggle a lot with it (on female mostly), ending up as a weird creature resmbling a human...Specially when I want to draw two "attractive" faces, they both end up way too similar.

xxXabbyleeXxx interesting (tho very disappointing) i guess i'll try to understand the limitations of the skull
Thank you so much For sharing this explanation this is really helpful & pretty easy to understand the differences between female & male structure ✨💖
Duuuuuuuuuuuuude this helped me understand alot I didn't know u explain all of it very clearly thx
Super helpful!! Can't wait for part 2!! ^^
Very interesting and well done. Thank you.
Your voice is soothing and pleasant.
i think you might have just helped me figure out the difference as to why i cant draw males without them looking very
VERY
odd
thank you for that
so I know that this is specifically highlighting the differences between males and females and such but do/have you ever apply/ied typically masculine features to a female character and typically feminine features to male characters?
+ash thomson sure! If the character design calls for it, you can push and pull these features to do so
Loved the video! Thanks so much for for highlighting the big distinctions when it comes to males and female structure! If I could ask, what music do you use in the background of all your videos?
Thank you! I commissioned a music artist to make the track for me, check out more of his work on soundcloud; his user name is LakeyInspired
ahh, i love your anatomy lessons!
Jerry said " she had man hands" it was funny for a reason. So many subtle differences that make a big difference in the final product.
Wow this blew my mind. Its gonna help so much
love your vids man! thanks for the great content :)
I've had issues with drawing feminine faces realistically, they are ether too cartoon like or sometimes look male. I think this will help going forward.
Excactly what i was looking for! Thanks!
No problem!
Hey Ahmed, in honor of Pokemon Go basically taking over the world as we know it can you do a Pokemon VR painting video? Or a digital painting of various Pokemon?
You killed this
How did the ginger triggered start? What is the story? Just curious. The video was informative too.
Thanks. Great information. Nice presentation style.
"TRIGGERED" with MGS "!" sfx Lol
Holy crap this was eye-opening info!
ok I'm not asking about the brushes lol, can you tell me the name of the female model or the makeup artist she is gorg!!!! goals!!
and thanks for the tutorial!
Thank youuu ahmed i never payed attention to this wow!
3:38 MISOGYNY! 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video! Now I know why my character looks like a male, her body is super feminine but the head was so out of place 🤣
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Bravo. Great work.
Thankyou for covering this! I'm currently learning and trying to draw a female face but it always comes out masculine o.o
nice helpful video! who is the short haired female model (#4 of last set of photos)?
Ah! I found it - www.pinterest.com/pin/431712314257961077/
thanks for your reply but the page is not found it says :-0
ty bro for the vid.
TRIGGERED
Every man and woman is like that but to varying degrees. Some more subtle but it is still an obvious difference.
Another great vid ahmed
Ubisoft needs to watch this video and all western game studios.
awesome vid. great advice!
In korea it’s not very common for people to do the v line surgery ESPECIALLY celebrities. Of course it exists and people have it done but it’s not that common
this video triggered me
Same!!
LOL
well he warned
wow being offensive is so funny lol! so is saying the same thing in the comments over and over again!
Yeah, It's just awkward. Like the whole light hearted "IM TRIGGERED" is like haha ok fine we get it tumblr is overbearingly obnoxious and sensitive, but seriously repeating and thnking your hot shit (edgelord cough) make s me want to hate this video.

Thank you so so much Ahmed
Who is the female model with the greasy hair? Ive seen this image used a few times but idk who this is
This is an awesome video! though part of me wishes you really went a bit further with the painting over, specially with the jaw, just a few more brushstrokes. It would've made the point hit home or whatever. Ya slackin Ahmed and that triggers me! great vid though
Where did you get the female reference pic you used?
+Paige Hanlon ahhh Pinterest! I don't remember the name
If you are talking about the one with the curls on her face, its Ellie Burton. If you search for her on Pinterest you will find that photo.
one important difference is that female's teeth cylinder is much narrower and this what gives us narrow lips
awesome ,the pelvis one will be very helpful ^^
I promise that I will keep practicing like a pro bro. I want to become a Cookie Monster!
wait what programm is this?
Good to know

Ow fuck! This was useful as fuck Ahmed!
Thanks !
very cool! thank you very much!
lol triggered.
Thanks for the video though, really helpful :D
Geeat video! Thank you!
great great video
song in the background pls
+DDRAIN it's a commissioned piece by LakeyInspired for this channel, you can search his other works on sound cloud
Was annoyed with triggered. so funny Ahmed,wow. Bravo. Very informative video though. Thank you ❤
I'M TRIGGERED!!!
2:57 im mindblown
and scared
thnx
What happened to the 98 other genders???
+R Jud you're right! I started making the videos for all 98, but couldn't find any evidence for it
Ahmed Aldoori SAAAAAVVAAAAAAGGGGGGGE (I hate that in today's society telling the truth is so wrong)
You ever just forget how to draw the head anatomy but remember how to draw the body?
