Description
PRINT NOW AVAILABLE ON DeviantART.Hey everyone! So... I decided to do a lil study for myself to help understand certain things about the female shape and form better (stomach in particular). Im no expert at anatomy, so theres definitely more accurate interpretations out there by other artists, but thought Id share it with you all anyway.
Hope you enjoy!

EDIT UPDATE - Discovered a line I didnt connect that carries on from the ribs, passed the hips and runs down into the leg muscle that reaches the knee area.

You may want to reference an actual female body if you want to learn where things really are.

Quite right! I had to make sure I found enough of the best suited reference online of artistic nudes with the best curves and proportions to make these possible.

hmmm... dont really know any, but I studied one a few years ago, and that was J. Scott Campbells Danger Girl sketchbook. helped me a lot. so that set the foundation and from there on I used real life.

Thank you soooo much for doing this. Ive been struggling with the female body form for eons, especially lately. This page you've done has a few angles of the pelvic area that always trip me up. Excellent work!

This is awesome man. I'm also practicing this stuff, both male and female...it's crucial to know these things to become a better artist.
Good luck!

Great! It's very clear how you interpreted the female body (and that seems to work very well) so it's a great resource. Will definately use this as a guide.

I love this. There's not enough of nice clean, multi-perspective anatomy study on dev art. I would find this useful just to see how you gauged proportion for my own practice. I like.
