Breast position.
Drawing breasts.
As the body changes position then so does the breast. It is positioned over the pectoral muscle and so with every movement of the arms and upper body the breast position slightly changes on the body.Below are a selection of sketches showing the breast position in relation to the body.
In the sketch's above you can see that as the body bends backwards the breast position changes as it is drawn up by the muscles of the chest and shoulders. Note also that the stomach flattens and the rib cage becomes more prominent.
In the sketch's above the breasts are sitting naturally on the chest. Note how the movement of the arms effect the position of both breasts.
In the first sketch you can see how raising the arm lifts the breast position higher up the chest drawing the nipple up and out. where as in the second sketch of a seated nude you can see that by leaning back slightly on one arm the breast rolls back and slightly flattens into the body.
As the model lays on her side you can see how the breasts hang from her body and the nipple points slightly to the floor.
