Ok. Now we have a head we should probably give it a body to rest on huh? Or at least a torso for now because everything else I shall explain later on.
Necks:
The neck can be seen as very complex, or very easy. Depending on what style of manga you are drawing (eg. Chibi, DBZ etc.) the neck size varys. For example in Dragon Ball Z the necks are drawn as wide as the head and are all veiny but in something like Shaman King the necks are thin and look very cartoony.
I tend to draw necks about half the width of the head wide, but so there is 1/4 of the head/chin space on each side.
Male Chest:
Firstly a long curved line, like an inwards bracket but just a bit less curved and draw the basic outline of where the pectoral muscles/ribcage are, like a shield or some armour. It sould be about two and 1/2 heads long and no more.
Now we have the basic idea of how the spine and ribcage are essential we can begin to add flesh to it. Harldy any flash needs to be added to the pectoral mscles/ ribcage at all so you can just follow its edges and begin to make them travel inwards as soon as you get the the abdomin. Now you can erase the guidlines for the pectoral muscles/ ribcage however leave the curved line (spine) be.
