When drawing male DC characters, emphasize broader shoulders, more defined musculature, angular jawlines, and a generally more robust build. For female DC characters, focus on more graceful curves, narrower waists, wider hips, and often more elongated limbs, while still conveying strength and athleticism where appropriate (e.g., Wonder Woman vs. Harley Quinn). Both should exhibit strong, heroic physiques consistent with the DC universe, but with distinct gender-specific attributes.
