Shojo vs. Shounen

Shojo and Shounen manga are different in many ways. The story line is the main difference but there are even differences in the way characters are drawn. I drew both Shounen and Shojo characters after watching a YouTube tutorial. I learned there are differences in eyes,hair, and body structures of shojo and shounen characters. Shojo characters tend to be more feminine and soft meanwhile shounen characters seem to be more tough looking and muscular. This is understandable since shojo manga is for the female audience meanwhile shounen is for the male audience. It was fun drawing manga characters, I was impressed that I didn't completely ruin the drawings.

I prefer the look of the shojo character. xD
