Do you have any tips with drawing bigger bodies? You make them look so real and heavy at the same time!
hello ty! this ask spurned me on to draw a whole little guide, because i want to give out some actionable advice besides just "practice lots and draw from reference <3".
so here's something i do: often it's difficult to find the pose you need so you end up referencing a thin person. however even though it's technically correct cos our skeletons are the same just drawing a thin person with a fatter person on top often results in an awkward pose that no understanding of skin folds and whatnot could fix
so you basically gotta consider the way a fat person's body naturally moves and sits right from the sketching stage even if it means deviating from your reference. a good example being how it's often more comfortable for to spread the legs a little to accommodate the belly. fetal position leaning forward in a chair etc
and in this pose the elbows can't squish up as close to the ribcage, you need to space the legs further apart, all that
taking this into account. compare this one to the first image. i crammed in a bunch of random details i think are cool too
