I thought so also but in keeping with the original I "hung'em high".

Yep, I looked up the ref, the nipples are up that high. Love the hands. And plus, she gots a purdy one!

oh yeah, the hands and arms are really nice. I don't think the nipples look wrong. Really heavy breasts on really young women just look like that sometimes. Background is looking cool, too.

The man of a thousand styles. This is a great looking drawing Rich.

fabulous.

this is looking great SYTHE.......

I like the stylized look that you have achieved. The hair (on her head :) is great. (the other hair is also good)

Wow. Excellent.

Very nice likeness of her... her nipples are really high in reality... I think her plastic surgeon went to happy hour before he did her boob job. I love the sepia-like color tones you did this in.

Overall this has a very clean, soft look. The lines are too clean for my taste, but they suit the coloring well. Rightmost hip/leg area seems a bit off but this is still unfinished so I'll stop here...

looks like an old photo

Hmmm. Interesting distinction for someone who wants to hone a realistic style: how do artificial and natural breasts differ? Do fake ones ever hang/lay/point in the way that real ones do? I don't think so. And DBA is right, as these are drawn they definitely look like they've been enhanced (or botched, depending on your preferences, I guess.) I have seen heavy breasts (with high nipples) that were not implants, but the weight of the breast makes the nipple angle upward, they don't point straight out like these do. So, I guess they must be full of silicone or saline packets. Ewwww. I will never be able to understand how anyone can find the thought of that sexy. Call me archaic. I don't care. The shading is coming along nicely.

Tc, I don't always go for super realistic, I like stylized or slightly enhanced peices. Her breasts are totally real (according to her). Still having technical difficulties with that ref.

I think if the areola were depicted as more oval on a horizontal plane and the nipples had a touch more shading on the bottom sides they would appear as though they were pointing upward to create a more believable illusion.

Edit: But I would be carefull not to overdo it, you don't want them to end up looking like coat hooks......OR DO YOU!?

pubic hair good, fake breast bad, all natural woman ideal. Well that's my taste anyway.

I love the Bush ! (I mean the president avcourse..)

Damm

O.O Great finish!!!!!!
I like her lips and hips!!!!!
Her eyes are awesome!!!!!!!

i think that it is beautifully done
