Mhh I mostly draw women 'cause I draw my RPG characters ^^ but in fact I like to draw both. Each gender has its on specialities and until you have mastered the correct form of the breasts the beauty of women can compete easily with those of men ...

A link from Ghastly is like a horrible car accident. You don't want to look, but you just have to, and often times, you regret doing so soon aftewards....
I dunno, that phrasing doesn't really apply to Ghastly's stuff, I think... Sounds more like what you could say about THIS (not at all worksafe) or *THIS* (mother of not worksafe)

Click on those and then you can talk about car accidents

...I hate you.

Meh, a girl with male genitals. Nothing I haven't seen before.

Um, not in live.

Well, I don't know the Ghastly's characters, but this one is supposed to be a guy, right? Well, maybe it's just the pose, but he seems to have a female pelvis.
And I find it odd, because usualy when Ghastly posts pictures of girls (again, I don't know the characters, so maybe they're not really girls, erm) their pelvises are not really feminine.

I'm kind of laughing at this thread... all these artists who are far and away better than I am at drawing can't draw breasts. Breasts are one of the few things I can draw pretty well. Faces are what kill me.

I suck at drawing girls properly. I'm getting better at it, but there is a very good reason why there's only one girl in my comic. I suck royally at drawing them.

Okay there I said it. I like drawing guys more anyways. the broad shoulders and segmented jawlines are so much fun.

Man, you guys should read anatomy drawing tutorials written by women. I think there's one on the howtodrawmanga.com site by Julie Dillon or something like that. She describes breasts as "overturned teacups" rather than balloon-like masses. Pretty good way to look at it if you're really trying to get anatomy right rather than the "j00 are teh sexy" effect.

It's easier for Michelle to draw girls (y'know... 'cause she is one and all...), but 'SAK!' is full of boys which she has come to enjoy drawing... so... both...

I like drawing boys better. The female curves are easier to draw, but in my opinion not as aesthetic as the planes and sharp angles of the male body.

The contradiction lies in the fact that the boys I draw are usually rather feminine. I prefer some degree of androgyny, so my drawings are a combination of stereotypical male and female features.

In fact, drawing hermaphrodites is fun. But then again, drawing and looking at female breasts is really not something I enjoy..

Mmmmm. Breasts.

The abovementioned Julie's tutorial is where I learned effective breastdrawing.

Guys I suppose.

You have to be a lot more careful with girls...have to make sure they stay attractive and don't start looking manly.

Guys you can just go crazy and make 'em and crazy and ugly looking as you want...

That's true...I've seen drawn girls that look just like men
broad shoulders...manly chin....the works..

but hey..../there are lots of guys in real life that look like ugly chicks &
chicks that look like guys.

Jackhass · Post by **Jackhass** » Mon Jul 12, 2004 10:25 pm

Sure...ugly chicks exist, heh...but who wants to draw those?

I should say, I'm actually pretty good at girls...most people prefer my girls. But I actually enjoy drawing guys more.

On my own I think I prefer to draw girls, in my comic all my characters were "male" until recently when I added my first female character, and she's fun to draw. It also added a whole new opportunity for bad jokes about women and dating.

DEVO-Bot · Post by **DEVO-Bot** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 9:56 am

I just started drawing girls for the first time in the style I use for ORBVS, and it's a lot of fun! Especially drawing them in sexy leather catsuits... I guess I'm also really enjoying drawing my new female character because she's really sassy, and sassy people are so much fun to draw.

So my vote is now for "sassy girls" as a gender.

You know for all this talk about anatomy and trying to draw breasts... has anyone considered that porn mags maybe yet the best resource for good lookin' boobs?

Anyhoo, I used to always have problems darwing women, so I've long prefered capturing maleness in the drawn form.

I actually do look at women in porn magazines..... for Anatomy reasons.... don't look at me like that..... Liriel is correct in saying that they are a good resource for good looking boobs.

(BTW, long time no see Liriel, was beginning to wonder where you were at)

Phact0rri · Post by **Phact0rri** » Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:01 am

well current porn mags really are more silcone and malshaped forms. I do however have table photography books, of vintage stuff from the fifties and sixties that help out a lot. Man Ray, bettie Paige, and the like really are wonderful resources.

todays current standards really don't help me a lot. Now those weight lifting mags come in handy to help figure out anatomy stuff...

anyone ever use those?
