But seriously though. Learning to draw fat people will make you a much better artist. Understanding how skin and fat behaves and folds in certain poses, and being able to adapt complex poses to fit a fat body (as usually references are with thin models) will help you TREMENDOUSLY. Drawing fat being properly affected by gravity will aid you in ALL figure drawing in the future. Like if you have any sort of interest in drawing humanoid figures (AND furries) you really ought to learn how to draw fat of all kind.

The only difference between me (someone who draws) and someone who wishes to draw is simply that I draw. There's no magical quality someone who draws or sculpts or sews or writes or composes or crochets or plays or codes or knits or sings or whatever has that people who aren't making art lack except willingness to make art. When I was younger (and to this day) I wanted to draw so bad. It gets under my skin. It bothers me deeply. Not having a pen in my hand. Not understanding how something was drawn. I was just so interested in it I could not contain myself. So all the frustration and discomfort and humiliation of learning something new and being bad at it was worth it to me and still is. I still make plenty of art that looks bad as I keep learning and trying things. I just tend not to post the things that look bad. If wanting to make art gets under your skin, I urge you to pick up the pen or the needles or the keyboard or the guitar or whatever art making tool of choice and make something. I promise there's nothing fundamental you lack. I promise there's no magic quality that makes someone an artist that you don't have. Of course there's nothing wrong with yearning. I'm just saying that the bridge between not being an artist and being an artist is just making art, not some secret artist ingredient that gets put in some people and not others. The one thing I hear constantly as an artist is "wow I wish I could do that". I hear it more than anything else. You can do it. The only "leg up" I have on you is just years of experience. Which you're never going to get if you never even get started. I used to look at other artists with such envy. I used to think they were just keeping secrets from me or were just more special than me, and that's why their art was better. But it was just learning and hard work I hadn't done yet between my skill and theirs. The more I draw and learn, the more I understand just making things was all I had to do to get where I wanted. And you can do that too!

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife
