Male Picrew Maker

Male makers take effort to find on Picrew. Many image makers are drawn with feminine faces and long hair first, and masculine options are limited or missing. This page starts from the other side: short messy hair, thicker brows, a jacket and jeans.

The parts are the same ones used everywhere on this site, so long hair, skirts and bows are still one tap away if your character wants them.

Parts that read as masculine in this style

In a simple cartoon style, a character reads as male mostly through hair shape, brow weight and eye shape. Clothes come second.

• Bangs: Messy spikes, Short crop, Side swept and Over one eye.
• Hair: Short and Spiky keep the neck visible. Ponytail works for long-haired male characters.
• Eyes and brows: Sharp, Sleepy or Tired eyes with Thick or Straight brows.
• Details: Remove the blush, or swap it for a Scar, a Bandage or Freckles.

Outfits for boy OCs

The Open jacket over the built-in white shirt is the default for a reason: it works for students, delinquents and heroes alike. The Blazer and tie covers formal and school settings. The Hoodie and the Striped sweater are softer options, and the Tunic turns the same face into a fantasy character.

Under Bottom, Jeans and Cargo pants are the main choices. Shorts work for sporty characters. Boots and Sneakers both take a custom color.

Making a male PFP

Switch to PFP for a square portrait. In a small circle avatar, strong shapes matter more than detail, so pick a hairstyle with a clear outline and an eye color that contrasts with the hair. A dark background with a light character, or the reverse, keeps the face readable in a chat list.
