Hey Chris,
You might benefit from some focused studies on female anatomy. Across your work there's sometimes a tendency to place the breasts too high (and consequently to shorten the rib cage, on occasion). (I'm looking particularly at the sketches you posted on the 20th of April). Keep in mind that boobs move around depending on what the rest of the body is doing. They get pulled up when arms are lifted and they sink down with gravity when the shoulders and arms are lowered and relaxed. (Look at the bottom row of this link, where the model raises and then lowers her arms: http://stockphotosource.deviantart.com/a...-610016315 )The height of the breasts in your pics seems reminiscent of the arms lifted position, but the arms on the women you're depicting are not always lifted.
I can see from your studies that you've sometimes very accurately copied breasts that, in the original photo, look high and perky, but bear in mind that this happens most in photos where the model is raising her arms or pulling her shoulders back. The range of movement in the torso and shoulders greatly affects apparent breast shape and placement.
Also consider that small (a cup, and possible b cup) breasts will appear high because they don't as much gravity acting on them, whilst average (c cup) or more generous (d cup onwards) breasts will appear lower because of their increased size and the increased gravity that acts on them.
As for the shape of the breasts you're depicting, it seems like you've got a bit of stylisation going on, and if you like that then go for it. For a true to life breast, further study (life drawing, if possible?) required.
Anyway, awesome work - it seems like you're studying really hard.
