Pix of Jennie show her as being quite tall and slender. She draws herself chubby and always smaller than anyone else (except children).
I promised people in another thread (ride it like I stole it) I would do some fanart, but this is proving surprisingly difficult; there are lots of pix of Jennie, but few of her thighs and below. I now have a body pretty much drawn down to the waistline, but with six different thicknesses of thigh going into those famous flaming boots. And *none* of them look right. :-(
Again, Jennie draws herself with something like 38D, the pix suggest more like 34B. Female astronauts are known to love freedom from gravity (and bras) and I tend to draw women as if they were in this happy state. A 34B-in-zero-gravity looks IMHO more BD-natural than it probably would on ground.
If Jennie isn't about to send me any swimsuit pictures, I'll just have to do my best!
Seriously though, I draw in perspective lines before I draw in anything else, and scale people properly - I don't do "generic male = 180 cm, generic female = 140 cm". I use mannequins to maintain positions people can't hold (like reaching up for a high catch) and I have a whole gallery of facial expressions I've captured from DVDs, in order to do something approaching facial expressiveness.
I much prefer to draw people I've met. A photograph has no personality.
Fortunately, Jennie will be in Europe sometime in the next six months. I will stare at her intensely.
