hi Anon, I drew a messy diagram breaking down some ideas in breast that I'll break down. I think the disconnected breast issue stems from the lack of contact they appear to have in relation to the chest. A lot of tutorials use a water balloon against a plank to demonstrate how boobs fall against a chest. Personally I use shadows to map out to forms instead of using the water balloon method, but it's up to your preference.

Your boobs seem to just hover and curve at the bottom, instead of flattening out where it touches the ribcage (like it's in its own field of space). While the actual edge of the boob slightly flattens, the shadows are rounded to the from of the breast.

Boobs are really tricky with lineart since a lot of the form is implied. Using varying line widths is your best bet to make them look plushy and comfy. Nsio's boob tutorial is more comprehensive than mine and cover the lineart aspect more.

I suggest you do more studies to figure out what they look like in different orientations (small, large, pressed together, stretched vs. relaxed, birds/worms eyes).

Sorry if my examples are too messy, it's 2 am and I felt bad that no one was giving you a redline. I'm basically trying to break down what the other Anon was trying to say about them not connecting.


tl;Dr curvy top, curvy shadow, flatter bottom (contact area)
