Description
Wow...I didn't post any tutorials for a long time...I was quite busy
Anyway...here's tutorial on how I paint male torso anatomy. My OC Ash was happy to take his shirt off for you 
(I didn't post any pic of him on dA yet...WIPs you can check on my Tumblr and Twitter xD). I used Photoshop CC while I drew this...but if you have older PS versions like CS5, CS6 this should work fine too. In other programs some settings may be different. And this time I'm posting image tutorial...no programming this time 
I thought it would be easier for you to have a pic 
And special thanks to Clawed50 who edited text in this tutorial :3 Well...I hope you'll learn something new and that this will be useful. Enjoy 
Other tutorials by me you can check below:

On Tumblr you can find it here .
NOTE: Again...this is the tutorial on how I paint anatomy, in my style...I draw semi-realism/anime so the anatomy isn't 100% realistic. This ISN'T reference sheet for different body types (lol, like that's not obvious). I'll make this one later. Though inner body anatomy I draw the same for all body types.

I can see you have a fat fetish, but that is no reason to be negative at a great tutorial like this. I would rather take a healthy and fit male body as a standard than an unhealthy amorphous fat one.
Go ahead, make a tutorial for fat bodies then. A lot less lines and detail to work with. Should be easier.
-.-

Um, it's not because someone says a body type is idealized that that person has a fat fetish, y'know. Because it's clearly idealized.
Eight abs is rare and not something you see often except on persons who work out a lot. Plus you can see the body is naturally slim by how wide the shoulders are(which is really not) and stuff.
Slim and muscular as hell. Something most people find the most attractive and something the media likes a lot.
Now, it's a nice tutorial to know about muscular stuff(even if some things are off, like how high the abs are) but clearly not something you'd want to draw on everyday people except if you like to draw your characters in your favorite body type.
Showing idealized body types as ''default'' can be very damaging for some people and I don't like your attitude about it.
I understand the artist said it wasn't a ref for body types and I don't disrespect them for not doing so but I don't like your reaction to her very true comment.

That's so useful. My daughter finds males harder to draw than females, so I'll make sure to show her. Thanks for your expert tutelage.

I didn't realize male bodies all looked toned/muscular.

This is semi-realistic anatomy tutorial... it's not a reference sheet for different body types. So here I specifically focused on muscular structure.

These tutorials are wonderful.This will help a lot.
A small question,do you have any suggestions for a tutorial like yours but for female anatomy too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
a quick question for you, sorry if this grates on your nerves at all!
are we allowed to follow the steps that you showed and make a male torso like this? I know it may seem like a stupid question but I don't want to make anyone think I'm trying to copy your style at all.

Yes, you can follow these steps XD

You're welcome

hey, it's no problem. I always love looking at your art, it brightens my day and makes me want to get better at rendering the colors and lighting of skin, as well as the muscle structure that varies for each person.

for how many years have you been drawing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I drew already when I was 3 years old... I started to draw digitally in 2007, though I draw every day and practice more often since 2009
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i thought to would have to draw for like more than 15 years to draw that insanely good, also can you give me any tips on drawing the male body?

doesn't look as pleasant as from the back
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, back one was more detailed... though I'd need to do these again, since these are ooooooold and not realistic XD

not to sound rude, but the person's body figure look so wrinkled. but I appreciate it though.

This is actually anatomically incorrect. The navel is in between the second and third row of abs, and those oblique muscles on the side don't extend past the first row of abs.

Every person has differently built muscles, with different placement... and yes, this isn't meant to represent realistic anatomy, which I also specified under my description. It's done in manga-realism. And anatomy was mostly referenced from 3dtotal's anatomy figurine which I also own. If I tried to make it realistic it'd be done differently.

Haha... it's not that realistic here. It's just very smooth
