added comment inHow to Draw Abs – Gesture Example 1
Asked for help
I tried to apply what we have learnt in the previous breasts lesson, it was challenging since the model was wearing a bra. Therefore please give me critique on both abs and breasts.

Maybe I should have focused more on breasts and less on face and body parts, I get carried away with sketching while listening to relaxing music..

Hi @riham, Nice drawings!
I'll try to look for things to help you further:
The breast feel a little stiff to me. When studying anatomy I like to exaggerate the function of things. For example if I´m studying a muscle flexing, I try to emphasize it flexing to remind me of how the body works and to give the drawing more gesture. When it comes to breasts, try to show more of how gravity affects them. You can even exaggerate this, to improve your understanding of how the breast functions.
What I try to avoid is the opposite, where the breasts are less affected by gravity, than in the photo. In drawing #3 the breasts are less affected by gravity than in the photo.
You can think of the breasts as water balloons; the water gathering in the direction gravity is pulling. But they are still attached to the pecs, so they won´t be floating around.
(note that thinking of breasts as waterballoons, might make them look unnatural. We´re exaggerating. it´s an analogy when practicing, that you can always move away from when you´re comfortable with the mechanics.)
I hope this helps :)
