    Wtf, nobody draws themselves. People draw best what they stare at all the time. I can draw some boobs, even though I’m terrible at drawing!

        Same. I often look at my own hands, for example, when I’m drawing particular hand poses. As an artist, it’s good practice to start with what you know. As you get more skilled, it gets easier to branch out to new things.

        Sometimes I paint nude figures. My ex-boyfriend noticed me studying his penis one day, and when I made a painting with a guy in it, he recognized his own member, lol. I have the opposite situation to this comic though; when I draw women’s chests, I tend to make them big because, well, that’s what my chest is like.

        I also just like boobs. They’re really fun to draw (among other things.) ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
