Do You Have Any Tips On Drawing The Buffer Characters From Dr? Like Sakura Or Gonta?

Do you have any tips on drawing the buffer characters from dr? Like Sakura or Gonta?

The buff characters in DR are highly exaggerated and top-heavy. They have very wide shoulders and a very thick neck. However, their faces are slightly more realistically proportioned with smaller eyes, a more defined nose, and less of a pointy chin/soft jawline.

The general shape is a triangle from the shoulders to a surprisingly thin waist.

There is still diversity within the characters. While they all have the same characteristics I’ve noted, Gonta has a rounder chest and arms while having a narrower chin and shoulders. Nekomaru is a lot more squared with a thicker waist and looking a bit more uniform across his body. Sakura is a definite triangle with very wide shoulders and a very thin waist in comparison. She has a thicker neck and rounder shoulders.

Looking at general tutorials or references on muscle helps when trying to draw the muscles themselves if you have bare arms or a bare chest.

Tips for writing smart characters without falling into the cliché traps, based on personal observation:

Smart people are more likely to be introverts, but not all of them are. I have a friend who’s officially recognized gifted, has amazing grades, and seems to know people wherever he goes.

The “team brain” in media is often portrayed as math-minded/science-minded, but this isn’t the only kind of smart! They could also be language-minded, for instance. One isn’t less than the other, just different. (However, often people lean towards just one of the two.)

Likely to have a large vocabulary, but unlikely to use big words and phrases. You know who does do that? People who think they’re smart and/or want you to think they’re smart. In short, overly big words are something you can use to indicate your “smart” character’s a fraud.

Otherwise, talk like normal people. Seriously, don’t have your character talking in print-ready sentences in everyday conversation unless they have a good reason (e.g. growing up with lots of books and very little social interaction or speaking a second language they learned exclusively from books).

Smart does not equal organized. At all.

Not all are straight-A students. This is because, if you were The Gifted Kid™ who never needed to try hard in the first years of school, you never learned how to work hard and become a lazy ass. Alternatively, especially with unrecognized gifted kids, they might underperform because they’re too bored to put in effort.

Very few brag about their superior intelligence (that’s just a douchebag thing, not a smart people thing). In fact, highly likely to think of themselves as not particularly smart. (My one friend does this, but also recognizes that a lot of people around him are not as smart as him, leaving him to wonder if he’s surrounded by idiots.)

However, sometimes they forget they’re not the average person and get annoyed with people’s supposed “slowness” or “stupidity” without realizing that they’re the odd one out.

On the other hand, forgetting they’re not average leads them to take warnings about hard classes/tests/exams seriously and freak out, only to then wonder what everyone was freaking out over.

Some people’s brains seem to have an on/off switch. Depending on if they can be bothered, they either know everything or lapse into full-on “I don’t know and I don’t care” mode.

They do laugh at stupid jokes. I promise. You can never be too smart to laugh at stupid jokes, only too pretentious.

fucked up how cooking and baking from scratch is viewed as a luxury…..like baking a loaf of bread or whatever is seen as something that only people with money/time can do. I’m not sure why capitalism decided to sell us the idea that we can’t make our own damn food bc it’s a special expensive thing that’s exclusive to wealthy retirees but it’s stupid as hell and it makes me angry

How to write romantic love

Writing romantic love is simultaneously one of the most joyful things you can do as a writer, and one of the most difficult. There’s a lot of emotion to cover - from the highs of a new relationship, to the struggles of a relationship on the rocks.

Like all of us, your characters will display love differently. Are they open and affectionate? Shy and nervous? Loud and blunt? To help you along the way, here’s some examples of descriptions you can use to show (not tell) your readers that your characters are in love. Movement
