How do you go about drawing bigger guys? (Also just wanna say, love your art style! It looks great and I haven't seen anything quite like it!)

Thank you!

There's a lot of ways to go about drawing a bigger dudes and it coincides with understanding general anatomy/proportion/perspective and everything else that comes with understanding art fundamentals. The best way to learn is by doing and building up that muscle-memory. I hear the term "just draw" whenever people ask about how to get good at art and while I *hate* that answer, it does hold truth. Find some plus sized models and draw them out, find your favorite artists or pictures that spark joy and try to copy them. There's no shame in heavily referencing something for the sake of learning (or referencing in general but that's a discussion for another time) because that's how you're gonna build your muscle memory and be able to draw your 8 ft tall 600 pound bara daddy that we all yearn for in our lives.

Admittedly, I still have a lot to learn and I feel my fundamentals are still lacking. Everyone is different when it comes to where to start when drawing so find a process that is most comfortable for you. For me, I start with the head usually and construct the rest of the body around that. For characters like Cato or Connor, I then draw the pecs and then their belly. It really depends on what pose they're in and what they're doing but the placement of the head and the movement of the torso are something I usually prioritize first before focusing on the limbs.

I literally just wiped my Procreate files so I can't provide a timelapse for other pictures other than the one I just did of Connor but I hope that this helps visualize what I'm saying.

I'm really bad when it comes to explaining things and I'm more of a visual/hands-on learner so I *hope* that what I said helped even a little bit. If you have any other questions though lemme know and I'll do my best to answer them :D

Irwin fighting a bear in his prime! Or, well, an anthropomorphic one...

This was some posing practice based on a reference photo! But I probably upgraded my anatomy stills a tiny bit from it too even if it wasn't the intent.
