Do men pinup artists draw differently than women pinup artists? It’s the battle of the sexes!

It had to be asked- you know it and I know it. It’s so basic to the art-form, it just couldn’t be ignored. Pinup art is about the way an artist perceives sex and women, so there are bound to be differences. Let’s observe, together, the differences and similarities between men and women pinup artists.

The Classic Artists

There weren’t many women painting pinups, in the 30’s and 40’s. Hell! There weren’t many women in the work-force, in the 30’s and 40’s. So these girls are pioneers in many aspects.
