Hi, If You Dont Mind Me Asking, Do You Have Any Tips Or Ways That Help You Draw Plus Sized People That

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking, do you have any tips or ways that help you draw plus sized people that you can share?

Hello!! I'm not the best teacher, so I don't know if I'm the right person to ask for tips (especially since I tend to BS my way through my drawings lol), but I can at least share some links that I hope help you. :3 (links work as of May 09, 2023)

WARNING: the following tutorials will show partial nudity.

Recommended 1. Bramble's tutorials (includes how to draw fat women and fat athletes) 2. Tutorial on fat bodies (OP deactivated) 3. The best books I've ever laid my eyes on (and they're pocket-sized!!) 4. Fantastic database of fat body references (will need to email OP for password requests)

Personal favorites: 1. How to Draw BEEF (the main tutorial I've used for drawing muscular men and muscular fat men) 2. Fellas Tutorial (not really a plus-sized tutorial, but it helped me draw bodies that weren't just sticks or horrendously muscular)

One of these days, I'd like to host a small art stream dedicated to sharing art tips that I've learned over the years.

FREE Texture Pack for CSP, Krita, SAI, and more

Something to go with those brushes I released last month: NATURAL MATERIALS V.1 is a small collection of [free!] texture overlays created from scans I made 5 years ago that I finally put to use. Should mostly work in any program that can open .PSD files. :D

For more fun, Pair this with the STIPPLE BEAST brush pack: https://tombofnull.itch.io/stipple-beast-brush-pack

Everyone deserves the opportunity to dress their best. That’s why I’m so glad to be able to share Tommy Hilfiger’s innovative #TommyAdaptive collection with you. #TommyPartner

HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COOL. Making creature rigs to help with acting and motion capture whaaaat

Hello gamers, local disabled cane user is gonna teach you how to design a cane.

Tl:dr: design a cane based on comfortability and the disability of the character

First things first, you need to know why you’re character needs a cane. Do they have chronic pain? Unhealed injury? Muscle or joint issues? Do they have poor blood circulation which makes them dizzy? Do they need the cane all the time or does their disability fluctuate? Do they use a wheelchair or a walker sometimes?

There’s a lot you should know about a characters ability/disability in order to find what type of mobility aid they should be using.

There are a bunch of different kinds of canes/crutches. The 4 on the left are crutches. The difference between canes and crutches are, crutches are meant to keep weight off your legs as much as possible, and generally you use a crutch on each arm. Canes are used for stability and you usually only use one. Folding canes are great for people who only use their cane sometimes

Great! You’ve picked either a cane or crutches for your character. I’m done right? WRONG. Cane handles.

This is probably the most important part of canes because if you have the wrong handle your wrist will die.

I gently kiss all the canes on the left, they are all very good for grip and wrist, although the middle left is designed for left or right hand so you cannot switch hands with it.

The ones on the right are also pretty good, they wouldn’t be my first choice but they are still great. The top one is also very good as it has a wristband so you can’t drop it as easily. (Trust me when I say I DROP MY CANE SO MUCH)

Sigh. The middle cane handles… the bottom one I have never actually seen but it looks like it would kill my wrist. The top one is uncomfortable for long period uses, but it is good for if you’re a shepherd. And the pimp cane… the knob cane… it’s awful. Just no. It’s hard to grip, it is unstable it’s bad it’s awful I throw it into a fire. Please don’t give your character, they don’t deserve that pain

Now you know the basic ergonomic things, there are different shafts for canes and crutches

You can really get creative with this type of thing, just as long as it looks stable enough.

Here are some good examples of pretty canes that are ergonomic and good to use! (featuring victor arcane who i adore)

Add some cute details to the cane if you want! You can add stickers, colours, grip support. And while I love the concept of cane swords those are very unstable, if you want a cane weapon you can make it lead weighted, put knives in it. A poison vile in the shaft. Be creative.

Just some of these components are important to consider with a disabled character. There’s a lot more to consider with wheelchairs and walkers which I don’t have the experience with.

If you do have any questions my asks are always open to questions about this stuff! I’d love to help if you’re making a disabled character.

Anybody else got that Evergiven sized writers block
