Artist's commentary
Anonymous asked: Hello! Just wondering if you would be able to help a novice and really bad artist with how to draw bara please? It would mean alot! <3
Hey Anon! Glad you’re interested in trying out bara. I might not be a good teacher so I’ll try and share some basic tips if thats alright.
Here I drew out some key points that I think can achieve that burly look on a man’s face. Facial hair is definitely a fun part that gives your man character too!
Just a simple beef cake diagram. Remember to bring out more of those specific areas listed below and I’m sure you’ll pull off a decent looking hunk!
By the way, this is just my preferred body type so feel free to go even more muscular or chubbier than this. :D
Oh and if you’re having a rough time drawing proportions I highly suggest you look at anatomy reference on google or pinterest. I know I’m not the only one that uses http://www.posemaniacs.com so that’s a great site for practicing muscles in many poses. Also, https://sketchfab.com/search?q=anatomy+ is another good site that can let you turn 3D sculpted anatomical models in realtime.
Anyway, I hope this helps you somehow. Goodluck! :’)
