can i ask your process for drawing people that are so FUCKING CHONKY
like your artstyle has some unique sort of flair that triggers the “sink my face/teeth into the soft parts” response in my brain. how do you do it???
Uhh soo i have 2 decades of internalized anatomy and style studies that have more or less become muscle memory because my particular blend of audhud has made actual progress kinda difficult. That being said i think my style would be relatively easy to replicate if you appreciate the same things i do.
First tip? Make a slime oc and draw them a lot, or draw a lot of slimes either way it seems consistent that people who "get it" have a slime character they love to draw. Many goofy and fun opportunities await.
Figure out how fat bodies work, make sure you have a decent grasp of drawing objects with depth. Do not try to over simplify things if the design doesnt work on a fat body redesign it. this is essential for higher fidelity applications because if you follow this next step you will simply make oddly flat chewtoys.
Now, fundamentally, all im doing is this
Its all circles, circles to the very core, ive had enough practice that i can make squares thick as well but its all an illusion. Life is fundamentally a curve. Simulated weight, liquid physics, cloth with real weight? Its all curves.
And what i mostly avoid at all costs is this
Realistic proportions? Space for the ribcage? Triangles?? Fuck no
I dont need these things, moved past them ages ago.
Uhh remember that an artists style is generally just visual shorthand for things they care about and often can neglect certain aspects or material due to personal skill set or taste.
Remember to do your wrist stretches or you'll die!
