Just when you thought you knew everything about boobs… NSFW?
My darling friend Chizzi mentioned that there are a lot of booby tutorials out there are just predrawn boobs with the artist going HEY LOOK! HERE ARE SOME BOOBS! but not many that actually talk about the anatomical structure, and where to put the lines. I was like, “Hey, I can probably whip something up.” And so I spent my thanksgiving making this.
Proportions probably aren’t exact, but I did my best. I also didn’t explore the various body types, but perhaps I could do a separate tutorial someday. I hope you find this tutorial useful 🙂
All photo references used in the tutorial were found on The Drawing Script. Credits to each photo belong to their respective owners.
Reblogging because it seemed quite appropriate with the recent release of the Catwoman #0 cover…
Hands down the best guide I’ve ever seen to drawing breasts.
I just started making some references for myself, but got carried away hahah… ha :’D
I figured I’d share. I’m hoping to make a series of these things for all the drawing bits that give me trouble: woman torsos, hands, wings, different body types, etc.
Some tutorials that I’ve come across, organized both for my own viewing pleasure and to hopefully assist others as well. I update this list whenever I come across new, helpful pieces.
A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.

I just went through and added like 20+ more tutorials
If you ever find a link that doesn’t work, or one that leads to the wrong page, please inform me so that I can either fix or remove it!
Ok, so initially, Paint Tool Sai doesn’t work on Windows 10 for some people. So here’s how you fix that.
First of all, go to the folder where your program is installed. This is either in your C: drive in the “Program Files” folder, or, it’s running from a separate location, either way, you can use the Windows Search option with “Sai” to find it if you’re having difficulty.
Open the folder and right click on the Sai icon that’s marked “Application”. Not the green square one, the actual application with the Sai logo.
Click “Properties” and then “Compatibility”
And click “Run Compatibility Troubleshooter”.
Allow the program to detect problems. It shouldn’t take too long, so be patient!
Click “Try recommended settings”
This pop up will tell you what mode you will need to run it in, luckily, Windows will set it for you and allow you to test it. So click the test!
Cool! It works!
If everything is fine (and it should be); click to close the troubleshooter and allow it to run one final check. If not, click explore additional options to open Windows Help, or, go back to Properties as seen in images 3 and 4, and test the different compatibility modes manually.
You may need to back into the Properties box anyway to turn on the Compatibility Mode as this may not be checked, however, the compatibility you need should already be selected still.
You could also need to check “Run this program as administrator” too. Make sure you click “Apply” afterwards.
And that’s it! Enjoy drawing with Windows 10! Don’t forget you might need to set up your tablet settings again too and change your Maximum Canvas size in Others > Options > Workspace Usage
I should also say that this method would work with other programs too, including Manga Studio and Clip Studio Paint.
I hope this helped! Please reblog this to help others!
