The mangaka of “Peach de Lesson” here seems to have made some rather liberal use of a photographic reference, to put it politely, though it does not seemed to have helped too much.
Normally results are better, but in this case ambition seems to have got the better of skill…

Is it really wrong to use a photo for reference when drawing?
No, it is actually better to use reference.
And it pisses me off when non-artists make posts bitching about the use of reference and call it plagiarism.
Unless you blatantly trace over an image, or you use another persons art, then it isn’t plagiarism.
Graphic designers make vector art by tracing over the colors in reference images to make something photo-realistic but still not a photo, that is far worse than someone making a drawing off of it. If you’re going to bitch about an artist using a photo so they have a pose and anatomy in order to make it look correct, then draw something with no reference, post it here, and let us laugh at you.
C’mon, this is massively photo-reffed, way over the top. It looks to me like the only reason it isn’t more like the original photo is because the artist is too shitty to even be able to do a decent tracing job.
In America it would be actionable, and probably in Japan, too. The creator of The Silent Service had to pay up quite a bit of dough for his overuse of photoref and the case set a precedent over there.
And, sorry to say, plenty of artists have enough skill that they can indeed draw figures and scenes right out of their own heads, without needing to, say, build a space colony, photograph it, and copy that.
Many other similar to this one poses are quite oftenly found in Mizugi Fetish H manga all about…
in this case i like better the real one
I really think they’re both hot, but If I had to choose then 3D. Lower cut, more cleavage, better expression, and more realistic 😛
But I like the thicker legs and tighter sukumizu in the 2D one. Thicker legs mean bigger ass. :3 And I don’t think legs like that are so unrealistic, it’s just part of the body type… perfect for the hourglass figure.

see, different body types (not posting that for any reason more than that)
3d wins this round
