If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about drawing fat? :3

JUST THE EXCUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR

So, for me personally, a lot of the time when I draw fat characters, I'm not looking to specifically capture the specifics of fat as much as the feel of fat. Bulkier, rounder shapes in the right places that has a feeling of weight to em! A lot of that is intuition and simplification at this point, but it all works on the same frame as just any ol' person. Like take this-

For example. This is the basis for any body shape, not just the more average one that it may imply. Sure- it can be that average body shape:

But also a fat one too!

And a big part of that is knowing where fat usually tends to bunch up on the body, so lets take a look piece by piece! (Please keep in mind this is very simplified, and not completely precise in some parts)

THE FACE: Cheeks (in purple) and especially the chin (in light blue) are the places where a lot of the fat is gonna wanna gather and round out on your face! Additionally, theres a small pocket of fat beneath the cranium on the backside of your head. It's small, but it is there. I believe fat can build up elsewhere like the bridge of your nose and forehead, but generally speaking, you're gonna have a whole lot more buildup in other places first.

THE TORSO: A lot of the fat built up on the torso is gonna be sent to your tummy. More cushioning for vital organs, mostly out of the way, it just makes sense. Additionally, the lower backs fat builds up and joins with a patch of fat on your sides that forms what is typically referred to as the love handles to make that double belly look. Along with this, the immediate next target for the torso is the breasts, followed by the upper back!

THE ARMS: For this limb, a VERY notable amount of the fat present builds up on the tricep and bicep areas, lessening once you get towards the flexor and extensor areas. You can almost think of the arm as a sort of triangular shape, wide side starting from the shoulder and tapering towards the hand, which itself mostly builds up fat around the back of the hand and the fingers. The shoulders themselves don't build up too much fat unless you got a lot

THE LEGS: And finally, you can think of the legs having pretty similar curves to what you're probably already used to thinking. The front of the thighs getting a big buildup, along with the back of the calves, the other parts being flatter in turn. As far as the feet go- similarly to the hands, the top of the feet, along with the heels get most of the buildup, as fat on your soles would impede mobility. The glute, hip and crotch area will also especially build up fat, lending to the same triangular shape that you can see in the arm!

A big thing to note with fat is that it tends to taper off towards joints. Your knees, elbows, shoulders, hips, and all the other places are gonna have significantly less fat so that you remain mobile and flexible, as that's important!

Now that we have an idea of where fat builds up on the body, you might have something that looks kinda like this

Which yes, does demonstrate a solid understanding of the places fat builds up, lacks the weight you're probably trying to convey, which brings us to out next point! Fat is well... heavy! Gravity is what gives fat much of it's shape, especially as you tread towards larger and larger bodies.

This is demonstrated really well on the arms especially-

Those big ol' bits of fat'll really start to sag when left hanging, and they will squish like hell if they run into something. I like to think of these bits of fat as big ol' ovals that squash and stretch depending on if there's an obstacle in their way or not

These are the important shapes to remember when it comes to the weightiness of fat! If you take all of this into mind, you should be getting something a lot closer to that shape you've been after!

Oh, and always remember that fat bodies come in all variety of shapes and sizes! Play around with a whole lot, and seek out all the resources you can! it'll really lend to your knowledge when it comes to this kinda stuff!

And as I always recommend when it comes to learning art- look at what your favorite artists do with fat bodies. See what you really like about the fat bodies they draw and try to replicate it in your own work, I promise you it's one of the most helpful things ever.

This is like the most basic of basics when it comes to drawing fat bodies though. If there's any additional thing about fat bodies, or maybe you want clarification on something, don't be afraid to ask! If there's enough to cover, I'll make an addition to this post!

HOW DO YOU GET THE STRAW HAT BADGE???

Ok, I'll give a step-by-step tutorial to hopefully help you because it took me a hot minute to figure it out with Tumblr's new layout.

1. While on desktop, go to TumblrMart (it's on the left side of the dash, just beneath Settings) and click on that.

2. You can either go to Badges or just stick with All because it's thankfully right there. Click the "Claim it here" button. It's free and thankfully can be added to sideblogs. When you do this, you'll be taken to this window where you click the "Claim this badge for free" button.

3. This will take you to the Edits page of your blog and you'll automatically be able to add it there. You can apparently collect multiple of the straw hat badges to add to your blog (I've heard up to 50), and they can be distributed to sideblogs too!

4. Hit save and you're good to go! If you get lost like I did the first time around, just go to your Edit Appearance page for your blog. There will be a little button under your icon that says Add Badges if you don't have any. You should be good to go!

guhhh…. could you maybe give some pointers on how you render I adore it

thank you so much 🥹! it’s important to note I use procreate and mainly use the mercury brush for my rendering. buuuttttt we’re doing this on ibis paint on my phone because I don’t have my ipad with me, but the process remains mostly the same!

this is a bit lengthy so read more under the cut :3

1. rough sketch

this is just a base sketch and can look rough as possible or even just be a few lines, what matters is that we get something down on the canvas to make better later!

2. line art!…sorta

I don’t typically do the traditional lining as I’m awful and shaky with lines, so I often just clean up the sketch or make messy lines and render them up later! any way works though, the point here is you just want a cleaner sketch or lined form!

3. flats and shading or other doohickeys you may add

I do my flats with a big brush and lasso tool it all, I may also do minimal shading here.

4. merge those bad boys (layers) together

this is where the magic happens. I grab my lasso tool and begin to make shapes and highlight along with bigger blocks of shading. I like rendering this way because my brain doesn’t have to do too much work and can easily make new forms with just shapes.

5. color changes (can be done at any point in the coloring process)

one thing about me is I am indecisive as FUCK. I may like how one set of colors looks but then prefer another color, color balance is your friend! feel free to play or mess around with different hues or warm or cold colors to get the colors you want, I’m more partial to saturated colors.

6. final rendering touches along with cleanup, as well as going over lines and adding more flair

this is where I add a lot of triangles or hatching, decided to just do hatching here. this is where most cleaning happens.

and with that we’re done! I hope this was easy to understand I apologize if not I am terrible at explaining things 😭 but I hope this helps anyone who’s getting more into rendering or learning how to! this is just my process and isn’t the end all be all, feel free to switch around steps or just do things your own way, that’s the beauty of art we all do it differently!!

SHAKES YOU how do you draw taurs. i need help i genuinley cant wrap my head around the anatomy of it. optionally i need help with fat taurs but any kind of taur is okay

Ooh, I love these sorta questions!!!

So there are two main things folks usually struggle with when it comes to drawing taurs as a whole. 1, they struggle with quadrupedal anatomy and 2. connecting the humanoid upper body to the quadrupedal lower body. Obviously there's no shame in either of these things, drawing four legged animals, especially if you're more used to the anatomical structure of something more humanoid is quite tough! And finding the sweet spot where humanoid and quadruped meet to make a taur is a bit of a struggle for folks who're still figuring it out.

So! The first thing you wanna do really is just familiarize yourself with quadrupedal anatomy. Look at the skeleton of the creature you're trying to taur and see how things like their limbs bend differently or how they're just differently naturally posed as compared to someone who walks upright.

This is a very simplified skeleton of a cat, but you can pretty immediately see how differently everything bends. And I'm not saying it's something you have to perfectly master to know how to draw a taur (especially when you get to drawing fat taurs), but i highly recommend becoming familiar with how a quadrupedal body is structured, the silhouette of most animals is quite misleading! And absolutely use reference!

Heck, our first go at drawing taur Riley was super heavily referenced (I'll even share the ref image if anyone is interested!), and this still came out real jank. Practice makes perfect!

As for connecting the upper body to the lower body, this is a little more subjective and up to you, but I'll lay out some general guidelines.

Generally speaking, you wanna put the humanoid torso where the base of the neck is, the front of the torso kinda merging with the rest of the taur body just after the tummy, basically just before the crotch starts.

As for the back, you're gonna want to shoot for just shy of where the butt starts, waist having curved back outwards. It gets a little awkward if you go higher or lower than that. And obviously, you wanna make sure the torso is firmly planted in the center of where the neck should be, ehehe.

That's pretty much the basics though! As always, i recommend looking at how your favorite taur artists draw the creatures and studying off of that! Familiarize yourself with quadrupedal anatomy, and use reference!! You will absolutely get it down with time. I will absolutely cover fat taurs if there's interest in it, and ofc, lemme know if there's anything I missed or need to go over! I hope this helps!
