How To Draw Chubby Female Body

ALRIGHT And so my pal @kalreyno wanted help with drawing fat characters and every bit a fat artist i felt like i could give a fleck of helpful insight on that. in that location's besides been a lot of lament about "boo hoo fatty characters are hard to draw so i can't include them in my work Ever" goin on lately so if that'south your example then this is for you as well!! and also just for anyone who would like help with fat bodies in general, ofc. anyway, let's get this show on the route!!

let's offset with some mutual misconceptions. these are the 2 master attempts at chubby bodies i run into, so i'll focus on them.

the Anime Chubby i see everywhere, and it's just……and then wrong in many ways. first of all, in that location is almost no boosted body fat compared to your average sparse character - except for where it's added in "attractive" places (breasts, hips, thighs). the breasts are way too perky, and don't take the realistic shape fat would give them (though how to draw accurate breasts is another tutorial all on its own lmao). there is still a thigh gap, which commonly merely happens in very thin people, and bones are still visible on the surface of the skin, which also rarely happens in fat people.

the Michelin Human is meliorate in some ways, but still not that great. information technology's a slightly better endeavor, only basically all that's washed in that location is taking a sparse character and blowing them upwardly, while giving no thought to fat distribution. the thigh gap is normally still present, and they expect a lot more hard than soft - and fatty is very soft and pliable.

hither's a nautical chart on how fat ordinarily distributes (if you tin't read my messy writing, "i. next to no fat, 2. moderate amount, 3. most of the fatty distribution"). basically, the more muscle an area has, the more prone it is to develop fat, such equally the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. information technology's important to annotation that fat sits on acme of muscle, and that it does distribute in unlike levels, and not evenly beyond the body every bit shown in the Michelin Human being.

now, hither'southward an accurate fat trunk with all of that kept in heed!! discover how the fat isn't only kept to aesthetically pleasing areas, and how information technology sits realistically on the character's body. their breasts sag a lot more, which happens even in thin people with larger breasts, and the nipples are pointing more than downwards than straight out. in that location is no thigh gap in sight, there are no basic in sight, and well-nigh importantly, they have fat rolls, which are very important in drawing a disarming fat grapheme!! as far as i know i've never met a single person with no rolls at all, and everyone has them, whether sparse or fat - they're merely more than prominent and more consistently present in fatty people. pay shut attending to where they are and how they're shaped.

here are a couple of drawings showing how fat is affected when sitting vs stretching. equally seen in the first, the fatty specifically on the tum is distributed a lot more evenly and stretched out, so it becomes "flatter". the honey handles are still pretty visible, though, also equally the fat on the thighs and arms. the breasts are raised with the shoulders, and the fat on the shoulders and near the neck forms rolls equally information technology's being pushed together.

in the second, there is a lot less room for distribution, so the fatty is all pushed together. the breasts sag and the tum forms rolls and spills into the lap. a good analogy for the way fat works is to liken information technology to a h2o balloon, and thinking of how its shape would change when resting apartment on a surface, hanging off of a ledge, held upright, etc.

hither are a few actress tips i find a lot of people miss!

first on the meridian is the hip/pubic region. the first circle is showing the fashion the bellybutton is folded in fat people, as opposed to stretched out in thinner people. the second is the stomach fat spilling over onto the pubic region and creating a separation in the 2 areas, which is something that's missing in a lot of art. in improver, the pubic mound besides gains fatty, making it round as seen in the profile drawing i did upward there (i've heard people refer to it as fupa?). the final in the hip region is the lack of a thigh gap. i can't stress this plenty!!!! if you lot're trying to draw a disarming fat graphic symbol, brand certain their thighs are pretty much always touching!! for reference, mine literally don't separate until my feet are about 2ft from each other.

the bottom right is showing the double chin, which a lot of people are afraid to draw!! fat does distribute itself here likewise, and there's nada incorrect with it, so don't experience like y'all shouldn't requite fat characters a double chin in your work for fear of it looking similar a caricature.

in the bottom middle, information technology's showing how fat affects different types of breasts with the presence of more than or less breast tissue.

lastly, at the very right are stretch marks with their usual locations and directions, which i also can't stress enough!!!!! i sometimes forget to add them honestly, but they're so important in accurately portraying fatty characters, as they literally come from the pare being stretched from fat being gained (and they're too simply rlly not bad lookin similar why wouldn't y'all lmao). some people have less and some people have more, feel costless to experiment with them!

the last thing is trunk types!! there isn't i unmarried style for a person to be fatty, so feel free to experiment with shapes once you've learned the basics!!

so in that location you accept it, a tutorial on how to describe chubs!! now become forth and make some accurate fanart or some rad fatty characters, because the earth could ever use more of both. hmu if yous have any questions or concerns, and thanks for reading!!

EDIT: someone pointed out the bad wording in the tutorial. thank you for bringing it to my attention and deplorable for offending anybody. i've updated the tut, so please reblog this i!
