She also has a mirror, suggesting that she's trying to learn anatomy by studying her own naked body and she's crying because she's having a hard time with her drawings.
And more like a hard time with her body, more so than the drawings. Poor Oguie... you're fine the way you are! Even though I still don't get the gay man sex fetish. ^.^:;
She's probably trying to branch out. Having drawn lots and lots of naked guys, but very few female forms. She's using her own body as reference, but having a hard time of it, either out of just general 'trying to learn something new' or her own body not exactly being an ideal representation of the female form. That's why she's crying, if you ask me.

This is manga/anime. Gravity-defying hair is pretty much law.
