Description Well i had to learn someday how to draw females someday, and although i didn't really enjoy drawing it, it did give me quite a bit of insight on how to draw them better.

I drew this to look like a wooden model of sorts, mostly because those who know me know how much i hate nude pics, even in references.

For starters, i drew it to specify the different parts of the body. I figured this is better than graphing everything out tron style because it's not only easier to do, but allows me to focus on specific parts and change them depending on the figure i'm trying to draw, whether it be fat, skinny, muscular or whatever, chances are i can edit individual parts to get the shape i'm looking for in the future.

First pic is a simple standing model, second pic is a more action and perspective test, as well as a view of the back, and the third picture is the picture with sketched clothes over it to see how it fares as a reference. I like how it turned out.

So yeah, basically i made this to figure proportions and parts and whatnot. Hopefully this will come in handy in the future, even as i evolve my artstyle.

If you want to draw a female more anatomically correct you're going to have to look at the real thing (even just in bikini) to figure it out.

All of the boobies on your models are wrong. They look like armor. 2 separate chest plates that go down to their stomach.

Unless you're purposefully drawing a grandma or a woman in abnormal armor the boobies should be much perkier and cover much less area on the body.

I like the way you drew the back/buttocks on the middle girl.

Gah, that's what i was trying to avoid...

Though a couple of notes that might have made it look like that.

For one, i drew it as though they were wearing clothes over it, so that would be why they look constrained.

Also, i was attempting a little bit of a cartoon style with this, and i think i used Yoshiman's pictures of girls as reference, and he kinda draws them like that (where they go down that far) so that probably messed it up as well.

But like i said before, i'm still new to this, and i made this to be altered for different body types, the first use in my Mia Renee art piece in my gallery, and as you can see, i had to alter it quite a bit.

I hope I didn't discourage you. I tell it like I see it.

Cartoony is good, but still needs to be adjusted imo.

Yeah, i understand.

Still new to it, but this is still way ahead of anything i had before
