I found this nice tutorial/anatomy advice spread created by meghanhetrickof deviant art.

She gave me permission to post it up here to share so go make sure to visit her and look at her other creations of goodness! 

I get what they’re doing here and I think it’s cool, but I mean it’s weird to be  all “boobs come in all shapes and sizes!!” and then to shame people with implants whose boobs DO look more like all the “no” examples.

I do my best to draw diverse body types, and I very much support seeing more diversity in the way women are portrayed in art. But we can do that without shaming ladies whose bodies aren’t “natural”, because frankly they get enough shit anyway.

True. Reblogging again for corrections and commentary

I don’t think the ‘no’ images were meant to shame women who do have breasts like that due to implants.  (Unless I missed something written on the image.  I still can’t figure out what “por— er adult film stars” is suppose to mean.)  I, like many other women, are just very tired of seeing the vast majority of women in comics drawn like they have implants.  Power to the women who want implants and get them, but show me a realistic representation of women with with natural breasts, and women with implants.

Also, as a side note, I know someone with implants and her breasts do not at all look like the breasts in the ‘no’ images.  Her breasts look very natural, just large for her relative size.

She’s a woman for women. She won’t trash other body types to make herself/others feel more beautiful or superior. I love this about her.

Dear Scarlet, 
About a month ago you asked if you could have a “circle mohawk” again. I told you to think about it because you’ve been growing your hair out for so long and I didn’t want you to regret it. On Sunday night I told you I had a hair appointment with Allison the next day. You asked if you could get your hair cut like that again, but you were laying down for bed and not supposed to be talking so I ignored you. The next day you asked twice, so I finally said I didn’t care and that you look beautiful whatever you decide. The last time your hair was like this you weren’t in school yet, I was so nervous about kids being cruel. I walked you to school on Tuesday morning and stayed awhile to make sure everything was going to go smoothly, which it did. When I picked you up you said, “Olivia liked my hair. She said she didn’t want her hair like this, but she liked mine like this. And we’re still friends. That’ just like how I don’t want to have purple hair like Allison, but I love Allison’s purple hair. You don’t have to have all the same stuff as your friends.” Wise beyond your years, baby child. I’m so proud of you and how you have the courage to be exactly who you want to be, despite any other outside influences. While we’re on the topic of gender, when I was at parent teacher conferences a few months ago a mom of this little boy approached me. She told me how he wanted to paint his nails and go to school. She let him. When he came home he said, “Scarlet loved my nails, Mom!” I’ve never been so proud. 

THESE ALWAYS MAKE ME CRY

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists. 

^^^WELL SAID. I might not be a fan of Angelina Jolie as an actress but what she has done was incredible brave and I admire her for doing that. I am a guy and what is being said about this is absolutely disgusting. It makes me ashamed of my own gender! D:

“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of  how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

“I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of “What makes a strong female character?”, often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that’s played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it’s seen as power. But they’re not strong characters who happen to be female, they’re completely flat and they’re basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!”
