I did some searching but didn't turn up anything-

Do you have any advice or thoughts on drawing the female form? You do such a great job of creating varied shaped and size females so well. I tend to be able to draw various men but draw mannish looking females but with grapefruits.

Any feedback would be appreciated...

Wouldn’t hurt to take a life-drawing class or six. Remember mostly, tho, that the majority of women simply move differently from men. Their skeletons are constructed differently, and fleshed out differently.

And when it comes to those “grapefruit”, remember what I call “flow”. Porn stars notwithstanding, they’re not rock hard. (When I was working on She-Hulk I was several times complimented by female readers who like the way my characters had breasts that moved.)
