This work for both male and female characters, it may be different from one artist to another artist, but not very much. Anime character works the same as a real person. Here is your typical human body's anatomy. Also, notice how the overall female body is smaller than the male character.

The body should be drawn with more 'curve.' The main three spots that must be watched when drawing side view are her breast, waist and hip. The female side view is a bit more complicated than the male character. Notice how the body is drawn mostly straight line down There are only a few curves for a male character, mostly on the back. This is your typical side view for a male character. You will see this form a lot when they are drawn on the beach wearing a swim suit. Another thing you might consider when drawing a female character is her knee tends to move toward each other as shown in the example. The waist is drawn inward and the hip is drawn outward, this is what distinguish between a male and 3 female character. Shoulder should be a bit smaller than the male character and the arm should be drawn outward as shown in the example. When drawing a female figure, make sure it looks more lively by drawing it more freely and not too firmly. The legs are drawn firmly, and they should be drawn apait. The waist and the hip should be straight. The shoulder should always be wide for male figure and his arms should be nice and straight. When drawing a male figure, there are a few things that you should watch out. In addition the child's shoulder should be drawn less wider than the female character The upper and the bottom body both should be the same length as the head. The child body works different from the male and the female. The bottom of the body should be the same as the head except that you make it a lot wider than the male character. The upper body should be twice the length of the head, but the shoulder should be less wider than the male character in comparison. The female body almost works the same as the male body. The bottom of the body should be the same as the head length. The upper body of the male character should be twice the length of the head. You can use the length of the character's head 3s a ratio of 1. When drawing your subjects, the first thing you must know is whether you are planning to draw a male, female or a child.
