thanks bro.
drawing female characters can be a challenge. I always refer to pictures for reference when in doubt the body is more freehand, and it shows. lol. this one is based on my friend Sarah. I could only hope to do her beauty justice. if you are starting out with figure art this site will come in handy. i go to it from time to time.

I really like these images, I think they're very well done. :)

Just FYI, there's a couple of sites I use a lot for reference images for 3D modeling, that you might find useful for this sort of work, also. One is Human Anatomy Pictures (it has some pop-ups and site ads, but it's not too cluttered) and another is The Blueprints (more machines than humans, but some anatomy references).

Absolutely. Nicely done! Is the chest on its own layer?

Thanks Gnaws.
The chest is made up of 3 separate layers. the thorax and the 2 breast pieces. the breasts are rigged using bones and the upper breast portion constrained to the thorax bone to give it stretch and the illusion that its part of the body as the breasts bounce.

Here is a quick diagram on its construction. Its still a bit messy, but I hope it illustrates how i went about it.
