Differences between Males & Females
(General-Public-Friendly)

Here's the diagrams of average(not ideal) male and female bodies.

    As you can see, there are many differences in the shapes of the male & female bodies, and even some patterns are different too. Many features in such bodies always have purposes as in accordance with the Theory of Evolution.
    The male body was built for strength which aids with gathering of food, and protection of families/comrades from anything hostile (and regrettably social dominance based on strength). The female body on other hand was built for flexibility, speed and child-bearing.
    Let's preview the pictures below and apply the concept of patterns to them.

See how this picture of muscular man drawn by Boris V. is broken into basic shapes.
Girls, no drooling please.

Now let's see how the picture of Asuka from N.G.Evangelion is broken into basic shapes

Here are the differences anyone must keep in mind while drawing:
   -Male shoulders are usually broader than female shoulders.
   -Female hips are usually wider than male hips (and female waists are narrower too).
   -Female features are usually smoother and more rounded while male features are usually more blocky and bumpy. But female features can be applied to any "girl-faced" boys (Yatan is a good example) and any young teen boys. Even some male features can be applied to females too ("flat-chested Zoycite").
    -Male is usually taller than female but we can have really tall females and really short males.
    -Remember, females almost always have those two "bumps" on the chest.
    -Both male and female children have almost same bodies (ignoring the genitals) until they reach puberty when their bodies begin to develop differently and gradually.

And lastly, no body is the same. Everything over a body either a male or a female always vary. Anyone can be taller or shorter; anyone can be fatter or thinner; anyone can have narrower hips or wider hips; anyone can be prettier or uglier; even both male and female chests vary too; Such variety is something one must keep in mind if one want to create various characters since variety makes characters look more realistic without looking like "twins/triplets/quartets/etc"
