Would this be the correct way to draw big breasts in manga?
A post on Twitter went viral on a famous Japanese forum called Yaraon where a person explains what it would be like for her, the correct way to draw big breasts.
The person shared two comparison images that show the right way and the wrong way to draw big breasts.
Would this be the correct way to draw big breasts?
In the first image on the left, we can analyze the more realistic design of the breasts, where the connection to the chest is much greater. In the image on the right we can see the incorrect design of the large breasts, with little connection to the chest.
The person also gives us a side view of those big breasts so we can see what they would look like in the previous image. On the left we can see realistic and well-defined breasts, while on the right we have breasts in a terrible shape that are completely out of touch with reality.
Here’s the explanation from the person who shared these images:
”To give the impression of a ”constant bounce”, the part that connects the breasts to the chest is deformed to an extremely small size, and is drawn hanging as if they were testicles. I think cartoonists know the structure of the human body and started drawing them as a symbol of sexual exaggeration to make them erotic in H manga and R18 illustrations, but nowadays, even in general public photographs, breasts of many girls are drawn in this deformed way.”
And then we have Saki, a manga draw by a woman about girls playing Mahjong.
Yes, the manga is about Mahjong…
The post generated a wave of comments from Japanese people on Yaraon, let’s check out some of them:
“That’s true for women too, isn’t it?”
“Is there any law that requires it to be drawn realistically?”
“Even artists who draw female g*nitals also draw t*sticles and breasts.”
“To be honest, as long as it’s exciting, it’s okay.”
“There are people who draw n*pples that look like p*nis too.”
“Although it is accumulated money, it is the breasts of an older woman, perhaps a virgin.”
“Since men are the ones who look at images of breasts, it’s easier to identify with something that resembles tits, isn’t it?”
“Even if it’s drawn realistically, it’s not er*tic.”
“It seems like you like artificial breasts.”
And that! We’ve already talked about whether there’s a correct way to draw big breasts in anime and manga, but, to be honest, it’s all a matter of taste that varies from artist to artist.
