"Masculine Lines, Feminine Curves" is a visual trope about the marked difference in how men and women are drawn in artwork and animation. Males—be they human(oid), robot, or animal—will have more angular faces, square jaws, and broad, square shoulders. Meanwhile, females will have smoother, rounder faces and curvaceous bodies.
In humans, this trope is somewhat true to life. The differences between male and female physiology generally revolve around bearing and nurturing young; the average adult human woman has more fat than a man of the same size, which functions as fuel reserves for a developing baby during pregnancy. This means there's technically no reason for a robot or non-mammalian creature to look this way; it's just our brains' visual cue telling us "This android/alien/whatever is female."
Female bird and mammal characters in the lower end of the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism (from Nearly Normal Animal to Funny Animal) often sport a ruff of feathers or fur at chest level that serves as an analogue for womens' breasts, in a manner that approaches Non-Mammal Mammaries. Female characters might also be given Hartman Hips.
This is a foundational trope for character design in comics, and extremely pervasive with human characters. It's very common for male and female characters to be clearly differentiated with exaggerated straight-line/curved line designs to the point where we don't even notice any more.
For animal examples, please only list examples that are both on the same (or at very similar) level(s) on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism; examples where female animals are actually more anthropomorphic than male animals and not merely more curvaceous go under Humanoid Female Animal. See also Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism and Cute Monster Girl when females of nonhuman species are drawn to be "pretty" compared to the male's more bestial/monstrous look.

On Clone High, male characters are drawn with boxy frames and straight lines, and rectangular fingers that end with an edge. Female characters are drawn with curvy frames, including Hartman Hips and curved fingers that end in points.

This is basically the gist of the Wyvern Rider and Pegasus Knight classes in Fire Emblem. The former tend to have sharper, angular, and more blocky designs as opposed to the sleek and more form-fitting uniforms of the Pegasus Knights.
In the Jugdral continuity (Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776), this is zigzagged. The predominantly-male Wyvern Riders tend to be brutish-looking male characters and the mounts themselves are rather bulky-looking things. However, the most important characters - Travant and Arion, and Altenna - are, respectively, a pair of biseinen and Aloof Dark-Haired Girl. By contrast, the female-only Pegasus Knights feature highly feminine women like Mahnya and Ferry riding sleek winged horses. However, a trio of antagonistic Pegasus Knights in the endgame all have very triangular faces.
As the series as a whole underwent Art Evolution, this began applying in different ways to the classes' costumes: with Wyvern Riders having sharp, angular, and blocky armour as opposed to the sleek and more form-fitting uniforms of the Pegasus Knights.
This trope also applies to the Wyvern Riders of Fire Emblem: Awakening: Cherche and Gerome. One of them wears form-fitting armour that shows off their curvaceous body and frames their gentle face while carrying a sleek-looking axe. One of them wears thick armour, has sharp facial features and carries a bulky axe. Guess which is which.

Most of the Transformers from Transformers: Generation 1 are male and drawn in straight lines. The few (toyless) females are generally curvier, but so are nearly all the males not drawn after a toy.

The Powerpuff Girls have circular heads, bodies, hands and feet, whereas their father, Professor Utonium possesses rectangular equivalents. The Rowdyruff Boys subvert this by having the same circula traits as the Powerpuff Girls themselves.

The Order of the Stick has rectangular, straight-line models for male characters' torsos and curvy rounded models for female characters' torsos. The series also abuses the audience's trust in this trope in order to make Ambiguous Gender jokes, since the torsos and hairstyles are the ONLY gender differences (that we're allowed to see, at least).

Even though they're not like this in real life (as they're, well, human), the title cards for The Nostalgia Critic and The Nostalgia Chick reflect this style. The Critic is drawn thin, angular and with very hard lines although the man himself has quite a soft face, while the Chick is placed in just as silly situations but is drawn with Curves in All the Right Places.

Hiveswap Friendsim is the first time in canon that we see trolls drawn in a more detailed manner than the simplified sprites and silhouettes of Homestuck, and they're depicted with clearly humanoid shapes, the female trolls having breasts and curving hips while the males have straighter shoulders and torso lines. This despite their Bizarre Alien Biology meaning they have no need to have sexual dimorphism in the first place.

Aaron Diaz, creator of Dresden Codak, writes a blog called Indistinguishable From Magic where he discusses comics. This artwork from the blog - specifically, from the figure design essay - seems like a good illustration of the trope. (Though the discussion was about the need for instant recognition in design rather than male-female design; Ron's sister Vonnie, not shown on this trope page, is made up of arches and triangles.)

Cars (also by Pixar) actually did this with the characters' windshields. Male cars have angular eyelids, while female have curved eyelids.
A more straight example would be Shu Todoroki the Japanese race car and Carla Veloso the Brazilian race car from the sequel. While the two cars both appear to be of the exact same make and model, Shu, being male has a more angular appearance, while Carla, being female has a more curved appearance.
In general, female cars are given more rounded car designs, such as Porsches. They have less prominent grilles, which look like mustaches when anthropomorphized.

Perhaps best exemplified in the Mass Effect universe between the asari and turians. Asari are an all-female race whose technology, shipbuilding, and architecture emphasize smooth lines, sloping curves, and chrome finishes. Basically their homeworld is what Steve Jobs would create if he got to design a planet. Even their bodies exhibit this design aesthetic, with the gentle wave of their head fringe. Their masculine counterparts, the turians, are all about sharp, jagged edges that look like they could skewer something. Even their bodies are covered in hard, chitinous bones, and their head fringe juts out to a downright deadly-looking point.

Phineas and Ferb is a particularly clear example. Phineas is blocky with a triangular head; Doofenshmirtz is the same but his edges are rounded off. Ferb, Lawrence, and Major Monogram are made of a series of boxes. Candace is quite angular but has a round face; Isabella and the Fireside Girls are similar. Linda and Vanessa are all curves.

In The Lion King (1994) female lions (lionesses) such as Nala appear smooth, whereas male lions such as Simba appear rugged. The character designers, such as Aaron Blaise, made a conscious effort to integrate the principle of "rough males, smooth females" into designing the characters, even though it may not make a whole lot of sense considering these animals have pretty much the same build and are covered in rough fur anyway.

WALL•E and EVE fall into this pattern. He's boxy, she looks like she was made by Applenote Because she was. Sort of. She was designed by Jonathan Ives, who created many of Apple's most iconic products.. The masculine and feminine shapes of WALL•E and EVE was even highlighted in the credits. The eight-bit versions of them start out as a brown square and white ellipse. The other Axiom robots who are (presumably) male are more angled and squareish too.

Though it is subverted at times, this is the general pattern for the manbots and fembots of Futurama.

In Avengers: Endgame, the Iron Man armor that Pepper Potts-Stark wears in the final battle noticeably features more curved lines and shapes than Tony Stark's, which is all sharp mechanical angles. Where his helmet has rectangular eye sockets and a harsh mechanical frown, hers is slightly rounder, with wider oval-shaped eyes and a softer jawline. Her armor is also much more conforming to the shape of her body than Tony's is.

The Ralts line plays with this. Ralts has a gender-neutral appearance while its evolutions Kirlia and Gardevoir have flowing, feminine appearances. However, later games introduced a male-only evolution Gallade, which is much more angular compared to Gardevoir.

In Super Sentai and Power Rangers, the visors on the helmets on the male rangers will be very sharp and angular while the females will be very rounded (Pink rangers have a strange tendency to have their helmets be heart◊ shaped◊, or very◊ close◊ to it.◊) The Zeo Rangers◊ are probably the best example.

The Deavors — Winston has a prominent sharp nose and an angular face, while Evelyn has softer features overall.
Violet inherits her mother's round face and Hartman Hips, and has wide eyes and a button nose, while her Satellite Love Interest Tony was retooled to have sharper features.
However, this is averted with Voyd, who is a woman but has an angular face and shoulders broader than her hips.

This shows up in the facial structures of the ponies in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Generally, male ponies have more straighter, more angular muzzles and narrower ears than female ponies.

Dick Tracy's visual signature is his ultra-manly rectilinear chin and nose.

The short, nearly cube-shaped Carl Frederickson of Up contrasted with his wife Ellie. Even their chairs reflect how they look physically.

In Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Brother Tai has a noticeably more angular appearance than his crush, Sister Tigress, who has more curved lines in her design.

This trope also applies to the Wyvern Riders of Fire Emblem: Awakening: Cherche and Gerome. One of them wears form-fitting armour that shows off their curvaceous body and frames their gentle face while carrying a sleek-looking axe. One of them wears thick armour, has sharp facial features and carries a bulky axe. Guess which is which.

Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter is a very boxy kid, and Dad has a rectangular face. Deedee and Mom have more rounded face and body lines (especially Mom's Hartman Hips).
