In this workshop, I will provide helpful insights into the fundamentals of rendering the male torso using the digital cel-shading technique. From understanding the forms of male anatomy and musculature to later adding convincing, cohesive shadows and highlights, as well as selecting the right blending mode for your layers; I will share with you my personal process so you can explore the essential steps (from sketch to final refinements) required to create strong, masculine illustrations. Whether you work digitally or with traditional media, you can apply the knowledge to suit your personal art style and to illustrate a wide variety of male body types.
