And, speaking of women—where would Reed Richards be without his stunning Sue?

• Notice that she too is eight-and-three-quarters heads tali, with her hips much wider in relation to her shoulders than they would be on a małe.

• Obviously, we do not emphasize muscles on a female. Though we assume she’s not a weakling, a woman is drawn to look smooth and soft as opposed to the muscular, angular rendition of a man.

• We’ve also found that it’s preferable to draw a female’s head slightly smaller than a male’s. In fact, she’s generally drawn somewhat smaller all over, except for the bosom.

• As a guide, you might remember that the hand (on both małe and female) always falls mid-thigh on the body when the figurę is standing.
