Any tips on drawing chubby men? I've always struggled with this, so I thought i'd ask the expert(you)!
You're very sweet thank you! There's all kinds of different body type details but these things are really helpful to remember!
If you're chubby yourself- you can be a great reference! I base many big guy drawings off my own body pretty often because there's things I once felt uncomfortable with- drawing them on others feels nice. Creases, bumps, rolls- depending on musculature to body fat ratio they can be different but where there's bends especially, everyone has little bumps and creases. Different chest shapes- bigger guys in general have all different kinds of chests. Good to remember bigger guys who've had top surgery sometimes have very flat chests, or concave chests from being scooped out 👁️👁️ Neck fat- as mentioned not everyone has a double chin, but if you're bigger most likely you're going to have neck fat. Remembering this is something I notice in other people's art and always appreciate seeing a soft jawline or a bump. Hope any of these small details are of help. I feel like 50% of the work is in the silhouette, 50% is in the smaller details like these that I pointed out 🥺 I wish you luck!!
