Chest Pillows

This is kind of a random post, but it's something I thought of while I've be drawing the line-up of Doom the past couple of days. This is going to be kind of an.... Odd blog entry so do be warned.

For those of you who haven't figured it out yet underlying structure plays a HUGE role in drawing expecially in drawing humans. Bone structure, muscule mass, skin elasticity (saggy skin >_<) and body fat change the way people look and all in different ways. Knowing that it's also important to know what is being worn on top of all that. Some times such a thing can be infered from a characters personality.

I remember once someone was trying to get me to draw a girl. And they were obviously coming up with this woman on the spot which is super annoying, it's kinda hard to draw someone that really is nothing, and I remember at one point I asked "what kind of bra is she wearing?" And they looked at me like I was completely insane. Really guess what sweetheart the type of bra will change the way breasts look. Esentually breasts are like water ballons for those of you who need a visually reference. They don't just stick in one place and never move. Breasts are a collection of mamorey glandes and fat. The large the cup size the more water ballon like they become, and believe it or not when there is nothing holding them up and together they acttually drop about an inch and rest more towards the side of the body not the middle. The sternum is a flat area. Yeah I know this is weird to talk about, but I've seen lots of bad drawings recently that make me want to find a truck load of babies to punch in the face. Oh also interesting tidbit that most people don't know since we're on the subject of boobs really ones float and fake ones sink, because the liquid they use to fill the implants in more dense than water.

Yes I knoe lots of random facts, cause well I read alot instead of asking people I go find a book on it XP. Medical books are acttually very helpfull, it's not only about structure but about reactions and all the things that make up that system.

It takes more than oh hey I wanna draw. Even though that is a good place to start. It's research and observance heavy. I brought up the particular subject of breast because well that's one thing that you aren't exactly going to go up to someone and ask questions like that, and not alot of people really think about underwearing having an affect on what they are drawing even though it does, and breasts are on thing that those differences are more apperent in.

Oh and on another side note for all you people who drawing size 2 women with size H boobies I want to punch you in the face. That is imposible on so many different levels. And for you kids who are like oh implants.. NO! someone who is a size two wouldn't have enough skin elastisty to sustain implants that large they would rip through her skin! And well as far as natural things go you don't get big boobs with out big being else where too everything has to even out, humans are purportional things. Yes exaggerating is fun id o it all the time, but that is one form that irks me.

And that is apperently my rant on boobies XP

And no I am not an expert on anatomy I still have problems with guys more than women though, but the only naked men I've seen are the ones in life drawing and we had mostly female models so there you go.

  1. Now you have me reviewing every single titty I've ever drawn and posted D8 I actually have a lot of trouble drawing smaller breasts because I don't even remember experiencing small naughty pillows. ;A; And I don't think the topic you're talking about is weird or strange at all. I'm no expert on anatomy either, and believe me I look up whatever I'm drawing or have someone strip naked for me so I can figure out what I need. But getting to the point I'm trying to make, the skin, the clothes and all other sorts of factors play out when drawing a character. I have to ask or research things about a character to try and bring them to life you know? And you're right about it being difficult to just pull something out of your ass when it comes to drawing off hand. I don't know if I'm even making sense right now, I've been up for about two days now so forgive me XD

    ANYWAY!! It gets on my nerves too when I see a drawing of a tiny ass girl with big breasts! Cause she wouldn't be able support herself! Her back would break skin would rip and it'd be one big mess. I mean exaggerating to an extent is good, but one must know at least the basics of anatomy before you can even begin to distort it.

    Medical books I find are some of the best in depth references I've ever come across and I have several of them in fact, so I'm glad you also brought that up. People use anime or manga as guide lines, but it's wrong and you aren't learning anything. In order to IMPROVE on anatomy one must study real layouts. Like what you mentioned about the bone and muscular systems, you learn that and you're good to go.

    Aside from working on Valentine and 3nvy for Chelsea I started working on a portrait of Mairu, and I've only drawn him like...maybe 3 times so I really have no clue how he looks. But I know how I want him to look and I drew out his skull first and it came out quite nicely. I'll post it up here soon for everyone to see. But yeah...I understand what you're talking about in your buppie rant. :3

    P.s- I hope my buppie drawings dun piss you off D8

  4. lol that's awesome Chelsea XD


    And no adriana your boobie drawings dont piss me off.... trust me I've seen some really bad ones, and they try to draw them "realisticly" so they are probably referencing some porn star or something with her fake boobies.. you can so tell cause the nipples are on top of the breast instead of at the point lol, aw the funny things that happen to the people who want bigger one >_<
    Smaller boobs can be weird because since breast originate from the edges of the sterum and under the armpit sometime it'll look like they have none in sillouett vaule so with those you mostly have to depend on body shape to convey that its a woman (waist) the only time I had small chest pillows was when i first hit pubrty and i got made fun of cause I had boobs and no else did yet >_<

  5. SO DID I!!!!! D8 How cruel the world was!! It's because of that time era in my life too that I stopped wearing white bras. Because boys insisted on taking water gun to my chest...;A; Hence now colored, padded bras with spaghetti string undershirts XD lol

    And as we grow older, everyone who laughed now wants your buppies. We humans don't make sense...no we don't. We just love being cruel D8

  6. Indeed we do. I used to wear sports bras when I was younger cause it made them look smaller lol. Now I think it's funny cause everyone says their jealous or whatever, but at least they can find cool bras most places don't even carry my size, its super lame o.o

  7. I know ;_; Sports bra and me used to be best friends for a long while especially since I played soccer. Not only did it make them look smaller, kept them from giving me a black eye. But I think they should make cute bras for busty girls. like were you don't have to go to a sex store kinda thing. lol XD

  8. I agree cause the only place i can even find the right size at is victorias secret and dillards so they're freakin expensive, makes me wanna punch girls that complain about their $25 bras costing too much... We should so make a company that designs cute bras for girls DD and up. I've noticed they stop making cute ones after Ds. It's super lame, I miss bras with poka dots, and lace ;_;

  9. Let's do it!! We'd make a fortune I bet!! A FORTUNE!! Without even having to jack up the costs.

    Cause like 45 dollars is a 'cheap' bra for me, and screw the people who can get all the cute tiny ass 'nipple' cover bras XD lmao


    Oh god I'm sorry I just got the image in my mind when I was staying at my aunt's house and she grabbed one of my bras and jumped off her sofa. @_@ Biiiiitch lol XD DD for the win though.

  10. lol XP that;s funny but so mean >_<
    Once at dillards I picked up a bra that was $80 it made me want to cry, so yay for $45 cheapie bras!! Even if that $80 one was all lacey and pretty I shouldn't have to pay anywhere near that much for under-roos
