Study for hem lengths, and their names, if I got them right that is.
Not sure how useful this study was, but hey, you guys got Hibi in a bra and I got some practice with drawing the folds.
I was supposed to do this study later, specifically how the folds or stretches on t-shirts would look like on breasts of different sizes.
But I got “bribed” by a certain Blue guy to do this next, so here’s the study… featuring Ladylonewolf (my Discord voted on it. Damn you demooocracyyy). I told ya I was gonna regret drawing that haha.
I started out with drawing the bras, and apparently, those are called t-shirt bras since they’re like the t-shirt for bras: versatile and simple, but also separates the boobs from each other and seamless, which gives women’s chests a nice look when they wear t-shirts.
I and my peeps at our Discord figured out that it starts becoming impossible to separate the boobs if they’re at a certain size, so I gave up trying to do that at the bottom row.
Finally, turned the bra version into a GIF. A happy accident that it turned into something that looks breast expansion with some jiggle 👀.
Now that I learned what necklines are and what boatnecks are called, this study is figuring out Tammy’s boatneck top since drawing the folds around the chest has bothered forever. It’s that important the proper term for something since it makes it loads easier to search for references online.
The cleaned-up “Original” is how I usually draw them, but moving forward I’ll go with “most boob lines erased”. Looks “more correct” and cleaner to me. If I can turn back time I’d go with “shortened top + bra” since it looks more interesting and fits Tammy’s style more.
The rest are trying out different ways boobs covered by this particular shirt would look like (assuming they’re wearing a bra, because some people have pointed out she doesn’t seem like she’s wearing any) or with sheers applied.
Believe me or not, I have explained in our Discord that I don’t usually think about bras when drawing female characters (I’m a guy, so sue me) so I often forget about drawing the bra straps, but I draw the boobs as if they’re wearing a bra… most of the time. While doing this study, I’ve learned about the existence of balconette bras. With its wider-set straps and my current knowledge, that would be the bra I would use with this outfit though her shirt needs to be less wider for it to work.
Finally, the last row is just for fun and no one learned anything and that’s perky-fectly fine. 😏
I’m determined to take my art seriously, so I’ve decided to study/practice regularly, and with purpose this time. I focus on a subject for up to two weeks, then move on.
The current topic: clothes. I started out with learning and drawing about different necklines. I don’t even know they were called that, it’s that bad 😅. I’ve just been calling them collars…
I’ve been posting and discussing these studies in our Discord. I was pleasantly surprised there were some insightful inputs, but the discussions around the studies were a ton of fun!
