Here's my guide to how I draw fat masc bodies! (please keep in mind that this is not an in depth tutorial. I only put the information that explains how my brain interprets it)

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

EDIT: Wisely pointed out in the time since posting -

I was incorrect... The collarbone is actually included in the 'fat doesn't stick to joints' rule, even if it helps softening the body. I think it's productive to remember fat people can be all bony and knobby.

The fat distribution map is also a beginner's guide, and the variance in body shape archetypes (pear shape, hourglass shape, etc) also applies to fat people. Everyone is built a little different.
