Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Idk about others, but I usually use myself as a model to get anatomical stuff right, especially hard-to-draw poses.
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)_/¯
