This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.

I was flipping through a Christopher Hart “how to draw” book in the bookstore the other day and found this.   I didn’t know there was a stage of the “classic vampire attack” where you did the boobs and butt pose.
