This is a post about drawing sexy women.

Obviously, when writing women characters, if the only thing you have in mind is their sexuality, you’re probably going to write a shitty character. That aside though, sometimes you want to draw a pin-up or convey the general sexiness of a character. I know I do.

So here we have three drawings by the inimitable Emily Carroll and three drawings by fan-favorite J. Scott Campbell. Questionable anatomy notwithstanding, Campbell’s women are posed in such a way and their expressions are meant to convey a vulnerable innocence that unknowingly makes them desirable. Many artists (predominantly male) have a habit of putting women on pedestals as unattainable objects of beauty. I know this is meant as a compliment, but it’s also somewhat dehumanizing and reduces a three-dimensional human being to an object of desire.

On the other hand, Emily’s girls, though drawn in a graphic, cartoony style, have a vitality to them that suggests full-blooded human beings. They have knowing eyes, flushed skin, full lips, They aren’t infantalized sex objects, but lusty, passionate women. Their sexuality is under their control, not a result of a “male gaze”. Rather than put them on pedestals, Emily seems more interested in mussing their hair up and fooling around with them. In short, Emily’s ladies are ladies I’d like to know, while Campbell’s are cute but probably not much fun to be around.

So yeah, when I set out to draw attractive women, I’m drawing my inspiration from Emily Carroll rather than the usual run of “good girl” artists.

Excellent advice. People sometimes have a hard time distinguishing between “sexualized” and “objectified,” the latter being the negative element to avoid when portraying a character. There is nothing wrong with a character or illustration that is dominated by sexuality, but if you portray them as an object or infantilize them, you’re not just left with a shallow product but generally a sexist and demeaning one as well.

As is evidenced above, this isn’t an issue of showing more or less skin or anything like that, but a subtler issue of execution and context. At the end of the day you have to ask yourself “is this authentic? Does this feel like a real person?” Illustrators and cartoonists alike should take note.

The White Space Project remains super kawaii!

Kyary reps Japan in the WSP, a movement that gives girls around the world a space to unleash their creativity and get wild with adidas Originals.

What does this eccentric lady get up to on a typical day? Spur.jp documented the pop star’s process as she prepared for the drop of her debut album, Pamyu Pamyu Revolution. As it turns out the life of a pop star is pretty hectic, but as you can see she rocks her style with finesse!

All these photos and more are exhibited at the Shinjuku Originals store so if you’re nearby, check it out.

What else is going on around the world in the WSP? Take a look at:www.adidasoriginals.tumblr.com/tagged/wsp

People often ask me what it takes to start a webcomic.

rosalarian:

The real question is, do you want to start a webcomic because you love making comics, or are you in it for the babes and piles of money?

You have to be in it for the babes and piles of money. That is the only reason to do it. “Liking comics” is not a good reason to start a webcomic.

Oingo Boingo — Dark at the End of the Tunnel (1989) picture disc LP

Turns out that this is pretty rare! I’ve only seen one other copy anywhere, and that was ONE on eBay that somebody was selling for $33 US. Interesting find at a record show, then. (You can see that it’s still in the plastic I got it in at said record sale.)
