One short piece of advice (not original to me) for all you webcomic artists out there:

Howto draw boobies [deviantart.com].

Make sure you don't post links to protected sites or non-direct-link-enabled images.

That's because that page was in your cache already.

Probably. At least that's been my experience with devart. Could you link to that artist's page and then give instructions to find it?

I don't know the artists page; the link was forwarded to me as is. But if you just copy-paste the URL it should work. Here, I'll even make it easy for you:

Grow your own breasts! (Score: 3, Compelling)

In Response to GeminiCrash (#25923):

My mother was once joking around with a friend about how she wanted to get plastic surgery because she thought she looked old. Her friend remarked that my mother's breasts still look wonderful. My mom's response?

"Well, of course they do. They're thirteen years younger than I am."

I'll always have that advantage over my mom - my breasts are fourteen years younger than I am.

I like the sense that a powerful man with a pony tail is lurking somewhere in the background of the site maintenance, ready to subdue criminals with a chair.

It didn't cover the 45 degree rule.

When your drawing boobs, if you look at a vertical view of the chick and you draw lines starting at the spine and going out through the nipples, the lines are about 45 degrees apart.

I.e., nipples shouldn't be "looking" in the same direction.

When hanging naturally.

It's a bit different when you stick bras on the boobs. They often shift the nipples towards a more forward direction.
