A nice example of how to draw ladies in comics
Commissioned Comic did a funny piece today about how to draw ladies if you look at comic art as examples: http://www.commissionedcomic.com/?p=4766. I saw this and thought of this blog. They actually mention Escher Girls in the commentary as their inspiration so that’s probably why it seems so similar.  (I’m also flattered that I’m inspiring funny webcomic strips :3 )

wycarnfife asked: Hi....I just joined tumblr so I could ask you this :) I was wondering if you had material online, like tutorials and such that would help one with drawing the female form properly... I have started drawing relatively late in life and it saddens me to see that even "professional" artists are so terrible with drawing women... if you dont have tutorials is there somewhere you could point me...

Less Tits n' Ass, More Kickin' Ass: On Cheesecake →
lesstitsnass: I wanted to see if you would take a crack at this: Okay. Right. I’ve been debating for the last couple of days on how to address this particular image. By now I’m sure you’ve all seen Maxi and April’s take on this which is its own slice of awesome, but as far as I understand it, this… Another great break down by Less Tits n Ass which is a tumblr anybody who likes...

To all the new people coming from io9
Some of my new readers seem to be under the impression that “most of it is Liefeld”.  I only started to post Liefeld a month or so ago, and I haven’t posted that many of his.  The 900 other pictures are of NOT Liefeld, that’s the scary part xD  I didn’t post Liefeld as a policy to start this blog because I knew some people would say “oh that’s just Rob...

msa-005k asked: After seeing a comment to the effect of "These guys must be using action figures for models," I tried to mimic the poses with my figures. Turns out even they can't do it, they move more realistically than women in comics. I did manage a pose that shows boobs and butt without turning the upper body 135 degrees, though. So, if action figures, and presumably actual women, can do it...

Pinup Comparison
crimsonhymns submitted: I found this of one of my favorite pinup artists, Gil Elvgren. And noticed some differences in the model versus the outcome. Her chest is distorted in the painting, and I don’t’ see why he had to do that. She was fine in the pose! Seems like it’d be super uncomfortable to bend one’s spine like that. Possibly only mild eschergirl syndrome, but I...

asunyan submitted: Shit, I know I just sent an article, but I found one that is probably better because it is the COVER of a BD, the thing that is supposed to sell it: http://otanews.livedoor.biz/archives/51861100.html V: sexualization of women out of nowhere

dancinglashatumbai asked: This blog is soooooo great! especially the fact that you don't talk down to the artists or say they won't improve, you just say the flaws in their art.

Beast of the Sea submitted: (More and larger images available at the source, who is also rather bewildered.)  Her back looks like Pac-Man.  Or Homer Simpson.

This is an excerpt of something I wrote in my regular blog about this story: http://www.themarysue.com/inclusion-what-jennifer-heplers-story-is-all-about/ Basically, a female video game designer did an interview 5 years ago and expressed some opinions about how video games could become more inclusive to other kinds of gamers outside the narrow niche (presumed to be hetero male also) that it is. ...

katz submitted: Have you posted this comic yet? No!  I haven’t even seen it before.  This is excellent and illustrates the false equivalence of that troll tactic so well, and without even getting into the lack of large penis bulges or outlines!  Great point, simply the expressions on the faces and how they’re drawn makes a big difference. ...

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/02/21/she-has-no-head-no-its-not-equal/ This is a great piece that sums up pretty much all of the issues about the way women are drawn, posed and portrayed in comics (as highlighted and expounded on in this tumblr and on my Rants blog).  Read it! :D

RocketRoach submitted: Old Super Mario Strikers art. At least in this world, getting a few coins, a mushroom or an extra life will fix her right up (depending on the game).
