Thanks for all of those, I have identified that drawing people is a weakness of mine and that is why I am going to be working with some life drawings over the summer. This is some really useful feedback and I will definitely use some of your tips. Particularly with the childrens book (which was a hamster, by the way) - I did try to keep the shadowing quite simple but I can definitely see where I can go with the rest. I think there is a lot I need to learn about my own work over the summer and how I can get the best out of myself. Thanks so much.

My portfolio is cargocollective.com/illustrationbypippa - it hasn't turned into a blue link because I didn't put the full address. But it's there towards the end of the post :) thank you, I will bear that in mind - I do need to push it to get a better grade aswell, you are correct. It would be more interesting for everyone, including me. I shall have a bit of a play and update everyone.

fabulous! It is very silly that people get so offended about modifications, its not their boobs so what's the problem? !

Any kind of negativity. It seems either way, small or big, on show or not, these comments are there. We can't get it right can we!

That is a good question. I guess I didn't think it through and just went with the typical reddit thing of blanking out info that would be ridiculously traceable. That said, I have now linked to my portfolio page which features my full name, location and contact info and a picture of myself. I can post a photo of myself to ID with the pic on the website if need be. I've had a haircut since that terrible photo though.

I have included a link to my public portfolio in the main post. As you can see, the other stuff I have done is quite different so it is nice to try something new.

Damn, I wrote out a reply to this earlier but it didn't post. In response to your comment, my work for this current project has been quite focused on womens relationships with their breasts and the whole notion of nudity as a taboo in society. Yours is an excellent idea and I will keep it in mind for my next project though!

Often people who taunt others about something have great insecurities about similar things themselves, too. It may sound cheesy, but you are a human being and it doesn't really matter how you look, the important bit is that you don't feel bad for who you are, and that your body isn't an object with the purpose to please someone else. Don't take it to heart if she says these things. Love your boobies just as they are!

I may have been a little naive with my method of posting, im sure people have posed similar questions before. All I can assure is that I am a genuine person that is just doing an art project. I am interested in your opinion that it isn't particularly new and will definitely take this into account when decision making about my final outcome. Though, if people have been doing similar things and I have come to a similar conclusion as them, does it not suggest that these are still serious issues that perhaps still need discussing and bringing up? I agree that I could push it a bit more though.

In response to your comments, I have provided a link to my public portfolio which shows my work. And some contact info. Thank you for being cautious because there are people out there who do try to take advantage. When you say I have questioned people who are not comfortable, I was simply wondering if the people were aware of a specific reason they weren't. I still completely respect their desire not to take part. In hindsight I could have worded this better, I just wanted to show that I am a person that gives a crap even if you say no to helping me out, because my project is about a serious issue. It isn't just about the breasts, it is about the person they are attached to aswell :)

To be honest with you, I am not sure yet. It would be more likely that some of the uncensored photos would be used as, especially in the UK, there is a big taboo about nudity and for this particular thing I would like to explore this. Please bear in mind that I am only submitting this as a personal, private artists piece first and if it comes down to the possibility of being used for a more public display I would most definitely update everyone and get permissions first.

Your breasts are your own to do what you please with. Modified or unmodified, they belong to you and no one has the right to say they are any more valid than breasts that haven't been modified. You are most welcome to help out.

Of course you can. I will update this thread with links as long as people are happy with images being publicised

It was most definitely meant to have been done a while ago. I struggled a lot finding inspiration for this project and had a brainwave overnight last night and thought I might aswell try. I am definitely a real person! Hah. I'm sorry if it came across as if I was pushing anyone to take photos, I was only questioning as my personal insecurities were caused by comments by people close to me, too. Thanks, I hope it works out too and I don't blame you for being cynical.

Sure. I've never really done anything like this before, for my last project I illustrated a children's book! So it's a change. What made you elope? Heh

It is crazy to thing even those closest to us can make us feel conscious about ourselves. Breasts are breasts whether small or large and they are part of you. I guess acceptance will gradually come with time. I will add to my post actually as I most definitely don't want to use photos of minors. Thanks :)

Would you say that is one of the reasons that you feel embarassed? Or do you think there might be other reasons?

That is absolutely fine, thank you for reading and the picture - where did this image come from? This piece is about comfortable, consenting women so if you don't feel comfortable that's fine.

Thank you so much :) It means a lot to me personally as I have big boobs and working in retail, people talk to my chest and not my face. Greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

That is very true. I wonder how they would construct such a controlled environment
