Simple guide for drawing fat bodies.
It's not a step by step thing because they are SO varied
Draw outside your comfort zone, try lots of different shapes and don't forget small details that bring the body shape together nicely!
I hope it's useful to you. :>
No problem :x Pear shapes are lovely but it kind of irks me when my character gets drawn like that by an artist who can actually draw fat pretty well but stuck in pear=fat and fat=pear mindset. Lotta different places can take on fat and a lot of places don't get very fatty at all! (like legs for me, i got weird skinny legs)
Yeah I don't understand how slightly chubby = fat for a lot of artists. It's like okay have you ever /seen/ a fat person, or..?

Thank you for the little break down of this c:
I definitely agree that too many people just draw a slightly curvy, mid-weight, or only the pear shaped body.
