Hi! Just wanted to say I LOVE your art. Your style is so pretty. Sorry if you’ve mentioned this and I missed it, but do you have any tips for drawing chubby girls? I have some cute characters of my own who are cute and plump but I feel like they just don’t look right when I draw them. I really want to have diverse bodies in my art but I don’t know where to really start. Thanks again and hope I’m not a bother!

Thanks so much! I think the main issue that a lot of people have drawing femme fat characters is weight distribution isn't necessarily just on the tummy! I illustrated something quick as it's a little easier to explain that way but basically keep in mind the weight on the arms, thighs, and neck, and how it's pulled done by gravity. Allow yourself to experiment and don't be afraid to try out interesting body types!

I'd also heavily recommend this book called Morpho; Fat and Skin Folds! It's been a lifesaver for me!

Penciling experiment. I worked in a smaller format for the pages. 8.5 x 11 inches instead of 11 x 17 inches
