Look at the shadows in the picture. I get why there's a shadow under her jaw, under her neck (i.e., behind her ears, etc.), and under her side-boob. Her sunglasses cast a shadow on her face, and that makes sense, too. All of these shadows establish that the light source—presumably the sun—is directly over her. Keep that in mind.
So, what's going on between her breasts, where no shadow should be if the light source is directly overhead? Am I misunderstanding something, or is this just bad graphic design?
Because without the shadow it would look like she has a uni-boob. The illustration style doesn't use any border lines, so a shadow is the only option. They chose the lesser of two evils, figuring that most people aren't going to think about the angle of the light source.
ReplyDeleteSome of us think.
ReplyDeleteAnother option might be to draw the chest differently. She's in profile, so the profile of a single boob might suffice.
