How I'm supposed to depict non-passing trannies in an anime art style while still keeping them male and uncanny as they look irl?

Do you intend to keep them attractive or something?
You could either caricaturize them or as shown ITT, or you can be more subtle and emphasize features that might be more common in a biological male. You can still make them attractive in the latter manner while still keeping them somewhat masculine if you intend to keep them attractive, that or aim for androgynous.

It just depends on your intentions, whether it's meant to be a roast or a genuine attempt at an attractive character design.

>still make them attractive
> keeping them somewhat masculine
unless its a teen pre-pubescent twink
no man either toon or fag
looks attractive to the male gaze (primary audience)

unless you plan on catering to the fujoshoid failure market
which if you do its better off copying the typical shovel chin hunk x almost feamale with a cock twink arcgtype
the fujoshoid market is too shallow a puddle to have creative variations hence making the query itself moot

These are good examples. Because anime men are feminine by default, you shouldn't draw a faithful recreation of this person's likeness in an anime style. Rather, you should amp up his masculine features like a caricature.

Done, I recommend looking into crossdressing yaoi as most of my suggestions were. Most trans manga they look indistinguishable from biological females. Add tits or subtlely lighten the masculine features & you've got urself a slightly clockable twink-hon tranny that is kawaii.

I'm intrigued. Looked up the series but could you give me the tldr on how the crossdressers factor in?

Trannies are
A) Gay men (usually bottoms) who decided to present as women in order to expand their dating pool outside of other gay men. They crave straigtht men because they don't like or are not satisfied with their gay peers.
B) Porn induced AGP coomers who decided to present as women as a fetish.
C) Men with genuine gender dysphoria coping with it by dressing as women. My hearts goes to them as they were dealt a terrible hand in life. Gay men in general are ultra degenerate and most of them have HIV, avoid them if you can and never have unprotected sex with one of them.

Neither of them want to be portrayed as unpassing. But if they must be portrayed as non-passing, they still want to look at least somewhat attractive.
And everyone that isn't a tranny also wants them to look attractive.(unless they're making a political cartoon to bash them).

If your intention is for people to feel sympathetic towards them make them look good. Androgyny doesn't have to look bad. What matters is how you stylize it.

Look up anime or anime style cartoon art that has non-passing trannies that you find look good.
>>
>>7360924
Most gay men also have STDs, and those who have HIV have to take drugs (known as PrEp) to prevent it from becoming full blown AIDS and killing them.

If you're C) please avoid gay men and trannies that engage with gay men sexually.
Homosexual men are sadly the opposite of careful when it comes to their own safety.

If you're a C) tranny you're better off dating women (biological ones) or straight men willing to date a tranny that haven't done it before and hadn't sex with men with yet.
>>
>>7360929
And always using protection no matter how healthy whoever you date seems like.
>>
>>7360924
>B) Porn induced AGP coomers who decided to present as women as a fetish.

I need this in my life. Since this is anonymous, I like trannies and think some are hot, but the absolute baggage they come with is not worth it A and C don't want you to touch their dick ever and makes you feel bad for fetishizing them meanwhile you know they have some weird ass BBC BNWO fetish or some shit. Lastly because they are mentally ill, they think it gives them an excuse to do horrible things.

B) & C) aren't mutually exclusive. Blanchard himself (the guy who coined the term AGP) believes that a man can experience both gender dysphoria and AGP.

These are extremely hard to find.

> most of them have HIV
categorically false, and if you remove the boomers most gay men are far more responsible with their sex life than heteros because we are aware of the dangers of it.
>>
>>7360993
Nope. No matter how ugly a woman may be their body will always look like that of a woman (bone structure, fat distribution, muscle mass, etc.) and all without any kind of chemical/surgical intervention. Can't say the same for dude troons.

Observe what they want to be perceived as, and how their bone structure betray or uplift them, make note of hair volume or fashion

drawing transgenders is pretty complicated for a beginner.
>>
>>7361123
Yeah, most women have a different body structure than dudes but the majority look like dumpy cows, not supermodels.

>>7360993
Bone structure doesnt lie.
Narrow hips, wide shoulders, large bones, male cranium and jawline, long thighs, big hands and feet. A man is a man is a man.

Just draw a girl and give her a dick. For a guy just make him androgynous. People like idealized forms of reality. The people who would throw a fit over this are trans people.

>But muh .000001% says it doesn't happen all the time, checkmate atheists
>>7361161
Not sure why you brough that up, my saying women have naturally feminine bodies did not mean they'll all look like models

And to circle this back to drawing, learning these biological differences is what's going to separate drawing accurate depictions of trannies like >>7360063 to the ancient, copout technique of drawing a girl and calling it a boy like pic related (which is what radicalized so many into thinking they could pass)

Don't reduce their inherent masculine traits and exaggerate their feminine traits. This carries into whatever style you wish to draw in.

Kill yourself, trannykike.
Tokyo Godfathers has the most sympathetic tranny in all of film, by portraying him as the pathetic, yet genuine being he chose to be.

No one is entitled to beauty, and trannies will keep suiciding out of disappointment until they understand not even women get to choose "good looks" by default.

off topic somewhat it's always been interesting to me that eastern works draw feminine men (otoko no ko) as girls but the few troons i see are almost always obviously men in skirts or cruel caricatures. in the west it's almost opposite, a man on estrogen is drawn with breeding hips and a feminine man is more akin to a tranny

Draw a guy. Give him long hair and women's clothing and call it a girl/tranny. That's literally it. Look up transgender anime characters. And not the one's that trannies cope and say are trans. The one's that are actual trans as said by the authors.
>>
>>7359347
draw them taller than normal women but only as tall as the men, not taller or it looks weird
the body is probably the most important part, dont give them super broad shoulders like some weird boomer tranny but definitely give them a slightly inverted triangle type body, nothing crazy just dont do an hourglass figure
give them a slightly longer midface than usual too, you basically just want to give them slight masculine features so they look different from all the girls you draw but not too different, just enough to be noticeable
you also want to pay attention to mannerisms, make them kinda awkward and not effortlessly feminine but also not effortlessly masculine
the biggest thing you dont wanna do is give them stubble or body hair or anythin weird like that because only boomer freaks actually go out like that, basically nothing like this >>7359349 >>7359360 >>7359673 because it just makes you look retarded

I actually avoided this when creating my recc list since that's just a tall girl from a yuri manga aka a cis woman, but yeah, she's definitely extra gangly and awkward which I think is really good. Height and body language can go along way, see picrel. (Didn't add names this time because I couldn't remember & I'd have to find them. First one is Call of Night though.)
