This could be very helpful down the line for me. In case any of my characters ever get naked.

Love and Kisses,

I thought I'd have a go at doing this and it was the funnest thing EVER. You taught me soooo much. Also, shading. Ahhh, it was brilliant. Thanks a lot for the man-chest!

Muahaha! More man-chest makes the world a little bit happier!

Well, my world at least ;)

Glad you found it useful. I'm surprised at how popular this topic was.

Also sorry but I haven't done skinny-chest yet, but I do have the Foot Study freshly up.

Feet are a pain to draw (although I have even more trouble with shoes myself), nice tutorial but seeing as you were bewailing the dearth of information on how to draw feet I figured I'd mention that books on anatomy aimed at people doing fashion illustration pay more attention to how to draw feet than books on anatomy intended for artists in general... also there is a book entitled 'how to draw feet' that I keep seeing on the shelf in my local bookstore and wishing I had enough spare cash to buy.

(I have lots of books on anatomy... however I think my anatomy drawing would improve rather faster if I actually read them).
Warning: this poster is addicted to ellipses...

I have a web comic called Tears of Eternity if you don't look you'll never know if you would have liked it.

I have alot of fun purposefully distorting man chest. I have those guys sticking out their chests to ridiculous lengths whenever I can. To me, it's just funny.

I just got this book on stylised art, actually. Apparently for the 'heroic' chest they advocate pushing the breasts higher up until it lines with the armpits... :o
