Artistically speaking, which gender do you find to be more aesthetically pleasing to draw/look at?I have to say women. Men’s bodies are far too rigid imo and aren’t as beautiful, but hold artistic value nonetheless when displaying strength, protection, or more masculine traits. But with general artistry the female body is more pleasing. Thoughts?
>>7995776As a heterosexual male, it’s women, obviously.In fact almost everyone agrees it’s women, except for gay men.
>>7995776I think it takes more skill to capture a woman's figure without going to coom extremesmen have their own aesthetic, but it's a more angular and form-based one
For me it's the male physique because its musculature is more apparent in general. Then again I am a straight female so I don't know if we count that as bias.
Women have better torsos, but men have more defined limbs. Clearly a fit tomboy type is the best bodytype.
>>7995776its definitely men but drawing men well is exponentially harder than drawing women and a lot of people who think they can draw men well really can't.
Looking at men is straight. Drawing them is gay.
>>7995776Female physique, male faces
>>7995776man are more fun to draw with the muscles, cool to get to know the shapes and the effort makes the end result feel more rewarding for meive mostly ever drawn women tho and the stylization of them is way easier, their bodies look much softer, especially if youre drawing them nakedboth have their pros but in the end its more pleasing to look at female but man are nicer to draw
>>7995776Men
>>7995776No woman looks as good as Michelangelo's David, or many other statues of heroic men, sorry
>>7995776Women
>>7995981Only homos say this
>>7995776I prefer men but I’m a heterosexual woman and it can really be either.Most people are too scared to draw men in an aesthetic way, because obviously throughout history it was mostly straight guys drawing women, and that shaped how people viewed art and viewed womenIt’s pretty hilarious. Even majority straight female artists will say ‘women are more aesthetic’ but they never actually make an effort to draw men outside of the box they’re comfortable in. And if they do, they’ll still put 110% more effort in making the women they draw more beautiful because that’s just what they’ve been fed artistically. Funny, because well, naturally, men tend to be taller, have longer thicker lashes, tighter bodies, shinier hair. All traits that we tend to attribute to elegance and you can do so much with. Whereas women are short, get bloaty, spend a trillion dollars to make our hair look good, and smear ourselves in makeup to compensate and then immediately get made fun of as soon as we take it off. I’m exaggerating a little, but you get what I mean. We have spun the narrative that women are naturally more aesthetic when that really isn’t true.Which is why the only people you see actually attempt to create beautiful men are fujo adjacent or gay men because they give no fucks and just want something to wack it to unapologetically
>>7995813Let’s see your men
>>7995776women but with strong musculature. "curvy" is a forced meme made by amerifats.
>>7995776Men are hot. Fun and strong. But sweethearts if you're a bro (they'll tease you but it's out of love)
>>7995776no homo but its men by a landslide. The male skeleton is just far superior.
Fat women, skinny men.
>>7995776Both are nice.
>>7995813>start drawing woman>accidentally draw a manThe opposite basically never happens when drawing men.
>>7995776Women are obviously more gestural and fluid, men are boxy.
>>7995776i prefer men because i like the inverted triangle shapewhen i do draw women i usuallt give them broad shoulders unconsciously
Both? Both is good. I'm straight and attracted to women but I find men aesthetically pleasing as well. I love to draw and look at cute waifish girls and cool strong women, I love to draw and look at handsome men, simple as
>>7995776Straight female, the female form is just more beautiful looking. The same way that I don't like the color navy, but I wear it because it looks good on my skin tone, intellectually I think women are lovlier and way easier to dress up that's for sure, but the subject of my erotic drawings are men because that's the way my biology inclined to enjoy.
>>7996517Lmao if you’re trying to draw a woman and draw a man you fucked up big time. It also depends on what body part you’re drawing
women feel more aesthetic, for their natural flowing/gestural form, but i like to draw men much more, since i’m a straight female. pretty much another of the usual response.
I'm a heterosexual man and I don't really differentiate. It depends on the situation and the overall emotion or even idea I am trying to convey...I guess when I'm in "art mode" a crotch is just a crotch, a cube or ellipsoid.
It's men, men have the perfect body. Women have tits
I just draw women with penises . It's the trending thing. And everyone is happy that way .
Women are the goto factor when doing anything aesthetically pleasing, gestural or expressive. Men are good for learning muscles. The vast VAST majority of art is an attempt at capturing a women's beauty. Everything from storytelling to animations to comics to manga to high art to low brow pornography wins by a landslide when drawn by either genders because women are simply more artistically interesting to draw.
a muscular man is the most aesthetic. Italians knew it, greeks knew it. Romans knew it.
>>7995776Men; women have too many fat deposits in places that are tired and overdone. Men can be both angular and soft. Women can only be soft. Boring. (for me)>t. a woman
>>7997727>The vast VAST majority of art is an attempt at capturing a women's beautyman get your gay ass out of here
>>7997736Would indicate the opposite you literal faggot.
>>7997738you gay AND stupid
>>7997743Nice rebuttal fag. Go back to drawing more man ass.
>>7997745lil bro you posted a knight and his lil maiden, I think maybe you longing for that king arhtur sword know what im sayin
>>7997748>arhturAh, I see I'm talking to an ESL. Any opinion from this jeet is instantly discarded.
>>7997733>Women can only be soft Not true at all. Bodybuilder’s and athletes exist . I get your overall point though
>>7995776men because muscles are fun to draw>>7997727nah it's because women are easier to draw
>>7995776I'm a straight guy but I think both are pleasing to draw and look at. Maybe guys who don't like drawing men just haven't been drawing body types they find appealing/beautiful.
>>7997906Women are more easier to stylize, yes. Fun fact but in reality, it's men who have thicker eyelashes overall due to testosterone. Women with thick eyelashes, in drawings, have been an art meme since forever.
>>7997906>easierMaybe for beginners who symbol draw but mastering their forms is harder because of the subtleties you dont have to deal with when drawing men, like how clothes wrap over breasts.
>>7997523All you need to do is press a little too hard when drawing the line for the chin or making the mistake of using too much shading on the face.
>>7995776Men is more beautiful in general, but straightoids like>>7995781>>7995786will tell you otherwise because they don't know how to draw men, they'll just draw square jaws and ugly w*stern shit and call it a day.Drawing women is just drawing those 2 specific curves and the rest can be whatever turd you want because retards will eat it up anywayNo challange, no risk, empty reward.
>>7995776easily male, which is weird cuz im a tranny and everything male about my own body fills me with abject disgustit’s weird that i can focus on and enjoy drawing masculine details despite knowing that seeing that shit on myself makes me wanna kms
it’s sort of interesting that so many of the males here think males are more beautiful, because /ic/‘s always felt like it’s bursting at the seams to me with all of the anon-made art featuring female subjects, and it’s not even a commission-necessitated thing. feels like the only consistently dominantly male outputs are isolated to the women’s draw thread.it’s also interesting that many here find their own gender to be the most beautiful, but are still more attracted to drawing the opposite gender. i’m sort of curious as to why the former.
>>7998096it’s not a very satisfying answer, but i just popped the question into google, if anyone’s interested.that is, according to behavioral science, why do many heterosexual people find their own gender to be more aesthetically pleasing? i really don’t know at what level this branch of behavioral science research based off of selected groups’ verbal responses is really a solid science.
>>7998105sorry, i phrased the question differently a few times to see if the results changed, and accidentally posted one that seemed a little scattered. ask yourself, you might find where they talk about studies. here’s a second that throws in a bit more relevancy.
>>7998110
>>7998105>>7998111>I didn't have an opinion so I just asked AI to generate one for meSuddenly, being a permabeg like me doesnt seem too bad
>>7998250i (-7545) was curious as to possible sociobehavioral causes for my opinion, both since i hadn’t known was a common take, and because i was never entirely sold on why i felt that way because my answer seemed to involve two conflicting ideas. that is, i feel my gender is more aesthetically pleasing, but am attracted instead to the opposite gender. thinking about why we think as we do can be kind of fun, especially when we strangely choose to keep hold of our own internal inconsistencies. sorry, tldr. i should stick to lurking, i type too much, sometimes.
The male body is great because of the power and dynamism it can express if drawn right

>>7995776Women are weak, fat assed midgets who can't even cut their hair. Men are better looking obviously. Especially if we are talking about the average peron here. Maybe it's different when we compare the top precentages of really good looking people, but on average men look better.
>>7999501>>7999495>>7999494Not really my cup of tea but I love the compositions of Franzetta. That's probably where he inspires me the most.
Frazetta's anatomy looks way worse than I remember.
>>7999504If we're talking compositions by Frazetta then it has to be The Brain to me: >>7999492A seeming demon, and wielding a curved sword or scimitar, about to smite a man. Behind both of them, and proximate to a blood-red or purple ground, there pulsates an enormous brain: it’s livid, seething, multi-textured in its non-lobotomy, and pitted like the surface of the moon. The brain that the piece is named for. I think the piece is trying to represent the mind or inner life of a warrior. Anyways, I like it because where most other pieces from him depict clearly "real" situations, this one seems be more metaphorical/dream-like.
>>7999681Also have another one.
>>7999582elaborate
>>7999582Looks fine to me. Rib cages are massive but it’s a good blend of stylization and realism. I’m interested in what in particular you see wrong
>>7998419I don't think you should stick to lurking, I like your longposts but I do think next time you should just post your thoughts and possibly ask for opinions/incite discussion instead of going straight to AI to talk to it about the topic.I mean I do think AI can be of good use learning about and finding sources for all kinds of things but I and many others would rather it stay out of human discussions, even if its influence were only to be informing certain participants' opinions. People want to talk to other humans, not humans championing or (subconsciously) rephrasing AI responses and views.
