I know it's a pain to find good photo-refs, but study-vice, morpho is always a good starting point!
Also pay attention to people around you, observation is part of studying too. Use your body as a guide. As a friend.
Morpho: Fat and Skin folds is a book all about drawing plus-size people. It's a part of the Morpho series by Michel Lauricella.
If others know other recourses, please drop them in the notes, I've definitely seen more but have a bad habit of not saving stuff in a timely manner
Hey, this is the blog I normally get a good bit of interaction on so I’m posting here
I’m in a position right now where I will not be able to afford my rent and food for the next several months without help, I’m applying and interviewing for jobs like crazy in between my college classes, but as of right now it isn’t going anywhere.
My rent’s due October 1st, if there’s any way at all someone would be willing to commission me for art or writing I’d be so so thankful!
I’ll still be taking comms after that for the next month of rent and necessities of course, but the October 1st deadline is approaching fast, and no jobs are calling me as of now
I’m putting some of my recent StEx drawings I worked really hard on in this post so y’all can see my art style as well
If you don’t have the means to commission I would really appreciate you sharing this post too!
I’m also more than happy to draw for other fandoms besides StEx!!!
Thank you so much for reading and I hope your day is going better than mine, seriously
Dinah and Electra are like the queer baristas of everyone’s dreams, the drinks they make always SLAP
Dinah is in charge of doing all the artsy chalkboard menus for the week
Belle and Tassita make TikToks at work with their drink ideas to advertise for the store
Really they all make TikToks at work, Momma lets them because they bring in business
They all treat Momma like their mother hen and it’s really sweet
Dinah always works the drive thru, it’s her favorite spot.
Electra works cold bar, Belle works hot bar, and Tassita works the register, Pearl does the cafe treats!
After close they blast Kesha on the store stereo system while they clean
Tassita curates the store playlist
They all like genuinely love their jobs even though customers can SUCK, Momma is a really wonderful boss
However they do get stoned in the parking lot after their shifts a lot, just for funsies
There are other staff members who work days, but our cast works the night shift for plot purposes
Pearl bakes all the pastries with Dinah, they stay late after close to come up with new recipes
Dinah has been at the store the longest (besides Momma), and she’s kind of the unofficial shift lead because she knows Everything
The Taco Bell Crew
Greaseball has been there the longest, she’s the night shift lead and she verifiably hates her job
Rusty is a new hire who is still like trying to do everything correctly even though everyone keeps telling him it’s unnecessary and that noone actually cares that much
Greaseball got her nickname because she worked grill for a long time and would always be covered in cooking oil after her shifts
Hydra is the Taco Bell worker in the drive thru that is just perpetually high as a kite
Slick just sits in the back and plays on their phone instead of actually doing anything, Greaseball does Not care
The highlight of all of their shifts is trading burritos for coffee and muffins from the cafe tbh
They have burrito rolling competitions to see who does the most in the least time (Greaseball is the reigning champ ofc)
That’s what I got for now! I’ll be back with more stitched together ideas soon but wanted to update!
