Gender and Comics

First of all, I want to mention how to distinguish between male and female characters in comics. The poses of male and female characters in comics are quite different. Males are thicker and taller; they will be more deterrent and easier to gain the favor of women. Take the arms and hands as examples. Men have broad shoulders, strong limbs and strong muscles. However, the role of women is the opposite. They have no muscles, small limbs and narrow shoulders. For example, the sitting postures of men and women are also different. When a man sits on his knees, his elbows are stretched out, his palms are on his thighs, and a certain amount of space is left between his knees. When a man sits on a chair, his elbows are extended, and his knees are open. If you are a female, when sitting on your knees, your elbows are closer to your body, your palms are placed on your thighs nearly parallel, and your knees are close together. When sitting on a chair, the knees are close together and the elbows are close to the body. If you sit more relaxed, place your elbows on your knees and your palms on your face. This position is generally only performed by girls.

Sum it up, men are more extroverted in their movements, while women are more introverted in their movements. These are all common posture. Exceptions are inevitable, but in most cases they are common. The male figure tends to be muscular and the elbows usually expand outward, while the female figure is generally small and delicate, and the elbows usually contract towards the body. This is not absolute, but it is almost universal. In addition to the posture, the gender difference of the characters is still obvious. For example, long hair and big eyes are generally only the main embodiment of female characters, and the outline of the main body is relatively soft. The outline of male characters is mainly composed of various combinations of line segments.
