ello may i ask how you draw bodies? been lookin at your hermit stuff recently and i love the way u don’t draw them all as skinny mf twinks,, anyway i’ve always found that when i attempt to actually draw fat and chub on characters, it ends up looking very strange n unnatural. any tips?

First of all, I do not claim to be an expert ! If my tips are helpful, that's lovely, but please don't consider my word to be end all be all, I just offer what I've learned over the years :)

Above anything else, I can't emphasize how helpful it is to look at references to understand the shapes and forms and get a good grasp on how bodies move! Figure drawing can be really fun, and it's always a good exercise! Sites like lineofaction have helpful libraries and automatically timed sets!

I drew up a few quick notes on my thought process with bodies, it absolutely doesn't cover everything but hopefully this helps a bit! Apologies for my handwriting :")
