What is wrong with hovering spheres? I think maybe too much thought and effort has gone into something a little too mundane.

You guys forgot the worst like Eiken they look like poles holding two balloons and gravity only seems to work when the main character is under then. or Divergence Eve which I can forgive only because in space they could get that big! Sure it is ecchi but no were near realistic

Good info. Many artists could use some practice drawing breasts.
Sometimes it feels like even the professionals never tried Croquis.

Because, you know, anime watchers have such a large body of real-life references to draw from.

This is only boobage we're talking about here, so yeah, of course the target audience would be shounen. Also, you really can't go docking points off an anime for drawing the body with a 4 or 5 head size ratio, it's shounen anime we're observing here! So if head sizes can be all freaky, why stop there? There's a full market of testosterone driven horny little youngsters willing to shell out their lunch money for boobage, so stick on some C cups to a girl that's 4'2", and PROFIT! The question here is, do the breasteses look nice, plump, and natural, something you can really sink your face into, (despite the body, shape, type, or age) or does it look like they stuck perfect spheres in there, looking like hard, unfriendly, playground kickballs, all uncomfortable like? Personally, for some of the pictures given, I can't say, because you really can't account for holding the boobs up against the chest with either hands or a tight wonder bra or whatnot. You can only REALLY judge them when they are hanging loose in it's full, glorious, bouncy gravitation. That said, I like Code Geass, even if they don't have a hard black line defining the underboobage, the shadows do a very nice job replacing it, and the squash, stretch, and squeeze look nice and comfortable. And I hate the Ikkitousen boobs, they look like hardened, overstuffed silicon. Blah, I say.

wow, sometimes I wonder why people even watch anime or become otakus. They can be so much more satisfied just going outside and looking at average everyday women, maybe giving them some company, and eventually getting them in the sack to see real, average boobs FOR REAL.

Me, I like them big, and as far as I can see Ikkitousen and all of them get big boobs right. I actually think Strike Witches is the worst, not just because they're small, but to me it looks like they didn't even TRY to give them detail at all. What are you guys looking at? Just that one pic on this list of Strike Witches shoes how little they cared about drawing those breasts. Nipples count too. If you want to see attention to detail, check out plastic little. If this list had it, I'd choose Queen's Blade, though :D

the pic from ZnT displays a dragon and an elf, they are not human, therefore not subject to the laws of human anatomy.

Yeah, i mean there IS a reason why people watch those animes. And it doesn't seem to be related to realistic boobs. XD

Wouldn't mine for those to be in RL xD.

Good observations Artefact, the "how to draw" is of help too, now I just wish it was translated.

Hardly disagree, anime don't have to be realistic.

I like the "real shaped" one, but I also like GRAPEFRUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

I wouldn't bother writing these articles if there wasn't a huge demand for them. When you visit this site, you're looking in a mirror, nothing more.

if they look like overinflated balloons that dont fit the characters design. they are failure. when its comical however, then you really shouldnt focus on how unfitting it is - ala "Eiken , but even those breast had gravity so i compliment it for that lol.

heck, Tarot : Witch of the Black Rose is one of my fav comicbooks, Jim Balent loves breast and draws them all kinds of sizes (flat, small, large, huge). but he draws the breast that actually balance with the characters body, no matter how humongous they get.

i think "Zero no Tsukaima" is quite fitting, the breast hang and they fit the body. "Ikki Tousen" is the balloon thing i am talking about, they just dont look right at all.

i dont find it fair to bring "Strike Witches" in, since the focus was not how large the animators can make the girls breast. pretty much about how much underwear they can flash.
overall, their breast fit their bodies.

True that the designs of the characters are souly based on how they feel they should look.

it depends for me, I agree that IS anime based off reality and therefore should at least be somewhat anatomically correct, but I think it depends on what media its in, in animation its more the movement that matters, and well it flows, so I can forgive them for not using figure studies for every fucking frame. (that would be a pain in the ass, and costly) but in manga or illustrations, I expect to see at least a semblance of proportional correctness.

but what really matters is not that they have every detail of the human body taken into account, but more, that they have the body balanced looking, and that they have no impossibilities in the picture, like backwards arms or legs bending in impossible ways etc.

stylization can account for allot, but thats no excuse for have in two left hands drawn onto a girl, that's just being outright lazy.
