writers and artists will go "this isn't good enough." my brother in christ, you're creating something new out of nothing and expressing yourself creatively. your productivity and unrealistic standards of perfection do not define you or the worth of your art. you're doing great.

new blorbie alert!!

everyone meet Lodr Aadres, he's a faun druid, but I'm pretty sure he could count as a tiefling if you squint

he's also not a mean guy!! he's a healer and he's bad at fighting, a bit grumpy but he's a sweet guy I promise! he just doesn't like being punched in the face (can't blame him)

also I swear I didn't mean this silly character drawing to end up as a 5 hour piece, this just keeps happening

Text: How I draw fat people, by a fat person.
Text: BEFORE I SAY ANYTHING! Fat people have many shapes and sizes, all of these tips can exist in different variations and ratios of fat distribution. This is not a comprehensive guide of how to draw fat people, These are just things I like to keep in mind. Study references of real people and pay attention to how fat behaves. Also find more anatomy-based studies of fat! This is more of a cartoon slash illustration based study. I recommend Morpho: Fat and Folds.
Text: Fat distribution rough approximation. Cheeks, Chin, neck, chest, underarms, waist, hips, thighs, calves, crotch, butt, scapula, hips. Mostly bone, Mostly fat.
Text: Fat sags from bones / muscle.
Text: Back rolls: Shoulders, waist top, body bend, waist bottom, hips. Stomach fold ends at hip dip. Torso, Waist, Hip, Thigh.
Text: Fold at bottom of skull. Body rolls act kind of like thick fabric when twisted.
Text: Fat hangs from arms. Armpit fold connects to chest fold.
Text: Neck fold. Double chin. Neck starts closer to front of the chin. Armpit fold.
Text: Some people have ab folds. Tapers into middle. Some people have rib folds.
Text: Cheeks! Cheek bulges at top. Corner of mouth pushes cheek up. Skin stretches.

hey these are some tips for some of the little details in drawing fat folks that some people might not know!

everyone has fat on their bodies so its a worthwhile skill to have, but most art tutorials leave it out. heres some other good tips from artists!!

What I think is perfect is how Arthur is such a hypocrite in the Butcher episodes. As if you're not looking at a perfect reflection of yourself. "Being swung by more powerful people." "A dog whose owner sics them on unsuspecting people." okay, and what is John to you? Hm? He tells you what to do and where to go? And you listen? Dog. But you break from his orders do you? You've killed, you lavish it? A wild animal. Off leash, as you'd say. Maybe daddy should have taught him how to tie a better knot, but your daddy didn't live long enough to teach you to tie at all.

HEY GUYS.

With artfight around the corner, here's a reminder:

ARTFIGHT IS FOR FUN.

Don't feel pressured to make a ton of attacks or revenges or whatever. Nobody can pressure you into drawing what you don't wanna.

If you can't draw everything you want too THATS OKAY!! ITS JUST FOR FUN!! If you want too, you can still draw characters and stuff after the fight as Gift art! Most people still would love to see/receive anything of their beans!

If you feel yourself getting stressed or burnt out: TAKE A BREAK!!! Again: It's for fun and should not cause your strife! We'll all still be here all month. Draw what you wanna draw! And draw only the amount you want too!!

Take your time buddy, remember to pace yourself. There's no rush.

Every. Single. Thing. You. Make. Is. Excellent! We are so happy and honored you picked Our little gremlins to doodle and don't let anyone tell you that your art is "Not good enough." Or "Low quality", Etc. That's super rude and totally a lie. Every art of every kind is a gift because you spent time on it to draw/Make it.

HYDRATE AND EAT YOU FOOLS YOUR BODY NEEDS SUBSTANANCE

Also, on that same note: GO TO BED AT A DECENT TIME YOU INSOMNICS I KNOW YOU WANNA DRAW TILL THE BREAK OF DAWN BUT SWEETHEART YOU NEED YOUR REST!!! IF NOT FOR YOU, DO IT FOR ME & YOUR CHARACTERS PLEASE

We love you artists! please take care of yourselves this Artfight!!!
