Ok, this is a compilation on some notes I have taken over the past 5 years or so. This is a tiny snippit of that information. I have reams and reams of information to go through and organize. I want to publish a book on my ideas.
no one has ever publish an anatomy book based primarily on women. Sure there have been "how to draw Comic Females" and "how to draw Anime Females" But never a "How to draw female anatomy" book.
So tell me if you think these patterns are useful. Let me know if the help you draw females better.
Oh, they're useful, in Spades. Thanks for putting these up, and I hope you do publish a book - this is presented beautifully. It's already helped me with areas of two sculptures that had been bothering me
I find women so difficult to draw, especially digitally. I think its because they are smooth (more graceful) and the lines are harder to get right where men are bulky and have more defined shapes that can easily be blocked out. I want to master a digital drawing I'm working on. I just need to get the body right before I world on the detail. Also breast are a bit difficult for depth reasons.
I hear you. I have been drawing primarily women for over 20 years and I STILL keep screwing things up. But men...meh! They are so much easier. I think the powers that be made drawing women so difficult because if they were too easy, we would all create such amazing beautiful creatures that our brains would explode and the course of mankind would spiral down back to the age of cavemen. Just a theory.....
