Just about everyone who draws chicks ends up putting their boobs too high on their chests.  The first drawing on the second post is only slightly less guilty of this than the one that follows it.

That's OK, though, because everyone does that.  I'm not an artist myself, but it seems like one of the most common mistakes there is when you're drawing figures.

Luke:
Something useful I learned from reading the Da Vinci Code is a seemingly not-so-wellknown ratio concerning human anatomy:

[distance from top of head to belly button] : [distance from belly button to bottom of feet] = 1:phi = 1 : 1.618

Lots of artists tend to place the belly button too close to the middle of the body. The woman looks good in general, but her torso looks to be a mite too tall compared to her legs.

But, of course, as you are reading this information on the internet, it should be taken with a grain of salt; I certainly am not a self-proclaimed professional of art, but that ratio is a very helpful thing to keep in mind when drawing profiles.

Mollinda:
You have to be a fellow brit. I love the word crotch.

ZJGent:
oh christ, both the wizard and luke are right. Damn. Means work on proportion... oh well, I don't really want to edit this one, so I'll work on proportion separately, maybe post some rough sketches here later.
and yes, Moll, I am indeed a briton, and the word crotch is so damned useful, there's no beating it.

strawberry_gashes:
Nah, they use the word crotch out of England... it's pretty widely used in my corner of the States.  Well, you know, in context.

Cool superhero!! I've always had a soft spot for those.
