I Should Share My Tips - Tumblr Posts
8 years ago
Drawing diverse body types is important, but i hate seeing how quick it devolves into “let’s harass and make fun of young artists on here so they “stop sucking” at art cause they admitted they arnt good at drawing fat people and mostly draw skinny characters”.
Like when I was a teenager I mostly drew fat monstery things and was still pretty shit at making things look emasculated or bony, as much as I wanted to. Sometimes it really is about skill and familiarity, and as older artists it’s better to help by being an example or giving art tips rather then being hostile.

yessssssssssssss
like please people listen to this!
when I first started drawing far people many years ago they actually didn't look fat at all
but I only noticed that AFTER I progressed and got better at drawing them
but lucky for me this was before tumblr existed so I wasn't harassed by adults
and just figure it out at my own pace as I got better
and even then at the next stage I still needed to improve
but man
a community of encouraging people with helpful tips would've been nice
I should share my tips
