How can I make my fursona look less feminine?
« on: October 23, 2014, 12:53:11 AM »
Hi all!
So I'm trying to make my fursonas face in photoshop and I'm not done, but at the moment it looks kind of feminine. I'm wanting to put some blue stripes in there aswell but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any help is appreciated!

It's the eyes that look feminine, you may have to reshape them.

I agree.  Even just redo the left eye, if you cover that the other looks fine.


Eyebrows can help too.

Personally I draw my makes with triangular sharpness and my females with similar builds but rounded features, as roundness provides an instinctive association with softness and feminine qualities. Perhaps harden up the squarer qualities if your pic and sharpen the corners up a tad? I dunno. That's how I do it, just trying to suggest stuff. Also - his right eye and cheek. Could they perhaps go down a bit? They don't look level.
     I hope this all came across as helpful and not, you know, cruel critique...*grins sheepishly*

the shape of the eyes is such that it causes the face to feel more "feminine" by changing the direction of view, also the fringe of fur of the cheek, remove that, or shorten it  and make the eyes more circular.
