oh no

This is a weird gripe to have, but I saw a short on drawing breasts, except they were using fruit as a substitute. They went on to explain contour lines, which are helpful, but some part of me was conflicted. Using fruit is fine if you're explaining contour lines, but using fruit to represent breasts is odd.

Fruit often has solid/tough skin, breasts are usually soft and pliable. I often see people using bags or balloons to simulate the gravity and shape, which makes more sense especially if you're new to drawing breasts.

It's also just...youtube/tiktok/reels level of censorship. Censorship is dumb, but the artist wanted the video to get more reach, which is respectable...but something bugs me about the emphasis on stuff. "This FRUIT here has these BLOSSOM marks that are in the center of the FRUIT" and I'm like ok, yes, I get that those are nipples. Idk. Idk what point I'm trying to make but somethin just irks my nerves.

Breasts is a medical/anatomical term. We can say "this video is about drawing breasts, but let's use ___ instead."

It might not get much reach, but at least it gets the people going "oohoho is this an innuendo? Oh I KNOW this isn't actually about fruit."
