You're not the only artist who has struggles drawing their persona babes - I actually have a post about my journey into drawing chubby folks on my tumblr and it shows the struggle other artists have faced along the way! you are not alone!
I can't wait to see your new persona! good luck! drawing plus sized folks is a journey! not a destination!

It's unfortunately a common struggle. the vast majority of art teachers and schools only teach how to draw perfect , idealized bodies.
it is up to us as artists to add variety.

agreed. and the fact that people always think that perfect/skinny body is ART itself hurts me X""D I mean, yes EVERY body types ARE ARTs, but the space of fat/chubby body type is really tiny, the majority of our people has already stamped us with 'fat is ugly' and people start to think that fat/chubby is not beautiful

The sad part is? the chubby body was not always a sign of controversy. We ruled the Italian Renaissance. But because certain powerful individuals decided that it's more profitable to push an ideal that very few can attain and big bodies became second class citizens.
but it doesn't have to be that way. we can change it.

I badly need this guide! No matter how many reference photos or live women I study I always struggle translating the human form into a style I can draw. Especially when I leave the comfort zone of the female builds I've regularly drawn.
This is beautiful, succinct and incredibly useful! Great work as always
