Today: Breasts, and drawing them badly




Using a pose from yesterday to save time and to work in a slightly new perspective; I do not draw low angles nearly enough. Time spent researching to time spent drawing is probably 5:1, and they still look very odd. Made the mistake of watching an anime (Blassreiter) during breaks. Time was split between watching the show and trying to figure out the logic behind the way breasts were drawn in the animation. Interspersing images of real breasts with oddly drawn anime versions probably did not help contribute to a "solidification" of knowledge; will avoid similar shows in the meantime to test.

Can fake the required knowledge easily enough when clothed, but bare breasts break the illusion rather badly. As size decreases, so does my ability to fake the "proper" drawing. Would like to develop a set system for them (similar to systems for faces or bodies), but it seems like a steep wall to climb so far. Probably going to end up devoting an amount of time to this that will seem creepy.
