I draw anime style (obviously) and I've been having trouble making my guys look like guys.

This is my latest drawing of boys.
Any tips? ( ^ ^ ; )

Well, to start off, you might want to remove those blushes.

An anime male's anatomy consists of many squares, rectangles and rougher edges. The guy to the left is a good example of boxy joints, square shoulders, and rough features. But your guys definately look like guys to me!

If you're trying to draw very womanly men, then you've got it pretty spot on.

There are a number of things the average man does not have though - sparkly eyes, intense blushing, long, flowing hair... those things are generally reserved for shojo anime, or I guess Asian popular culture in general where they're actively trying to make men less manly.

There is an article somewhere that I don't have bookmarked, I'll find it later. But it's related to a recently popular ideal in Asia about men acting more sensitive and woman-like. Again, if this is what you were going for, you're on the right track. If you want your characters to look more male, take a reference of what an actual guy looks like in real life.

None of this was professional advice, I guess. More like conceptual advice, for your basis.

>>6 Why don't you post advice then instead of stroking your ego?

Head: out of ass. Let's go.

I would say to make the pupils a little smaller and less glossy, and maybe the eyebrows a little smaller, and more thicker

This should help too for differences in the facial structure.

Broaden the shoulders out, square the jaw more and reduce the blush, it should help
