Mugi Strips: “She Has Huge Boobs But They Sag Too Much!”

I think they're not so much confused about any sagging, but the size and position. I mean, I don't know how old she's supposed to be in this picture based on wherever the manga is, but they are very large breasts for a girl of her frame. Not completely rare, of course, but she didn't look that big in the anime unless my memory is just terrible.

At life drawing there are models who actually refuse to go into positions like that, and I can only assume the reason is because they don't like the way they look in that pose. That and no matter how thin you are, your skin folds when you compress your abs which can look awkward sometimes as well. Ironically since it's life drawing, that's exactly the type of thing we WANT, but I will admit it's not the most flattering of positions much of the time.

04:35, it's better to use a pencil.

It depends. For years I went to classes with people that generally weren't very attractive. But the point isn't about attractiveness in those instances. I mean the best drawings I've gotten from life drawing were actually heavyset older guys with a lot of detail in their faces. Plus I learned the most from those sessions. On that note though...

@ 4:35

To be honest, I don't know. I have heard several stories, and every female model has at least one bad experience. I didn't see a nude woman in life drawing for months, since I started with male models for a while. A couple of my classmates years ago were not treating the situation professionally when she was there, but we yelled at them for it, because there is a time and place for guys to allow our hormones to admit our attractions, and that's not one of them. The point is to learn to draw the body accurately, not admire it sexually, so it doesn't matter. In fact the sessions I go to now we get sleek dancers and college girls that of course I find attractive, but it's all shapes and shadows when they're posing. Actually if anything I get more turned on when they come out from the changing room with their tight jeans on when they're done.

But we haven't had a man come in for like a year... and frankly I'm getting sick of drawing attractive girls, because there's nothing much to it. If a guy gets giddy and stupid in a life drawing session, well... he's unprofessional and should be thrown out. If you want to see hot, naked women you can't touch anyway, the internet has a wealth of that, and they'll even do crazy shit like have sex with animals. Seems a bit of a waste to pay 20 an hour for a flesh statue if you're after porn. Hell, get good enough and you can draw your own porn.

It's pretty random in my experience.

I've had... let me see...

-One skinny woman in her 30-40s
-One brawny long haired guy in his 20s
-One bony gay guy with nipple rings (20s-ish?)
-One badass 60+ guy who came in with swords (Loved that guy)
-One really muscular 20-somthing red-headed girl
-One Sumo-sized 50-60 looking woman who snores
-One 50+ mildly overweight bald guy
and
-One pregnant lady in her 30s.

*Shrug*

I will admit though, most of the students are't there for the purest of reasons. In fact, I think some people mysteriously vanished when the male models started showing up. Coincidence? I think I smell a wanker! Ha ha

@HouseLife

Gotta agree with you, the point where you go into a position like that and your skin doesn't fold is the point where your going to have to worry a lot more than just excess body mass.

And yeah currently watching the 2nd season and NO! her's is not as big as those, which make them *insert musical melody* perfect just the way the are!

honestly it has been my experience that the women you see modeling in those classes are never the kind you would actually want to see naked.

We have fairly attractive models in my drawing group, so it's annoying when guys come in to draw. You know they are only there to see T&A. A straight male not turned on by an attractive naked woman? Yeah right. They don't have enough blood left in their brains to actually put effort into artwork. Their art never improves either. They drag us down in competition.
