How did you learn to draw fat bodies but still keep it cartoony? I love how you draw different types of bodies and make them all seem normal instead of certain body types sticking out like a sore thumb next to others. I struggle to draw fat bodies without it looking weird with the rest of my art. Do you have a specific tutorial you followed or something?

This is a really good question! I'm glad you like my depictions of different body types, i worked really hard to get better at that so im happy folks enjoy em!! I didn't actually learn from a book or tutorial, it was mostly looking at fat bodies IRL and learning to incorporate those features onto what I already drew. As it turns out, we're all human, so if you understand the anatomy enough to draw a skinny person, you have the tools to understand the anatomy of a fat person.

So, like, here, this is my sketch of someone with a very average build. If I were to draw a fat body, I would still use all the basic principles I use here. One mistake I think folks run into is "isolating" parts, which can lead to things like this

which isn't necessarily bad, but if its not what you're going for, the issue is pretty apparent. Weight affects ALL of the body, not just the stomach or the face or the limbs. If you think about how that weight affects everything in tandem then you can start drawing fat bodies that work more in your style.

for this, this is the same quick sketch using the same pose and principles as the first one. but! I allowed the weight to be distributed across the body. Notice how the legs, belly, arms, etc all got thicker? The key to drawing fat bodies and making them look like they fit is allowing that weight to affect everything. without it, it just looks like you're adding on features to someone rather than considering everything at once.

my other tip is: don't be scared! things like fat arms or chins or bellies or stretch lines are not something that's bad to depict. if you want to draw fat bodies, you gotta not be scared to draw things the way they are. someone having a fat body is not bad, and you drawing that fat body is not bad either. Experiment! To me, art is about representing ideas, and the only way to get better is to experiment with how you represent those ideas. I'm by no means an expert, and I think you can also get a ton done by looking for resources aside from me, but I hope this helps, and have fun!!

Guys the other day I saw someone make the lovers tarot card but with Betty and Simon from Adventure Time and I thought it was really cute but as of right now I’m Fixated on The Watchmaker of Filigree Street so if anyone wants to and has the skill to (in which I don’t) I’d love to see a lovers tarot card design with Thaniel and Mori :3

He continued, “Do you remember that first night when we had gone out to get a drink together? ‘Hold out for the unpredictable,’ is what you said. And that after everything, things will find a way to work itself out in the end. And, and that…I—” Kite stared at him, an arm’s length away under the artificial spotlight of the lamppost blanketing the two of them. There was a party going on somewhere from inside the building, blasting music and cheers that found a way to stumble outside of the walls. “What are you trying to say?” Kite whispered, willing every nerve in his body to not touch the man. Joe looked delicate, kicked over with the burden of everything he could say, and Kite wanted to tell him, again, that everything will find a way to work itself out. “I’m going about this all wrong,” Joe said with a finality, and took Kite’s cold face in his hands to kiss him.
