Great tutorial! Wonderful work. It's understandable that there needs to be some kind of average in order to have a point of reference. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, for art purposes, it easier to learn and adapt by starting from an average base. Once you know the average, you can manipulate it much more naturally.

Everyday I'm loving tumblr more and more for the awesome things it shows me. Interesting references and insights, thanks for this!

Female body type but all of them are white chicks XD

Because everything has to devolve into a race conversation?

What? I just thought is was sorta Ironic... and funny.
Don't get your tits in a dick, it's still a great tutorial.

I've already received my fair share of PC comments on this already is all. People complaining about weight, blah blah blah. Fat people not fat enough, fat people too fat, skinny isn't skinny, muscular isn't muscular enough...etc.
But thanks, haha.

Oh I see. That would get a bit grating. ^ u ^'
But meh to them I think it's very helpful!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, those were the very first comments I received after completing this massive thing.
Ha, thanks again! I can come across as a bit curmudgeony sometimes, ha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uhg. Then I completely understand.
And today I learned a new word! (\o U o/)

Just would like to make a correction for the fat distribution thing. Men actually store more fat in the stomach area (beer bellies and such), women store more in the pelvic area (a bit lower than the stomach).

Awesome, thanks for the info. I'll definitely add that in sometime, as well as into an upcoming male tutorial.

Nice job covering a good spectrum of people instead of just hollywood actor lookalikes or comic book characters.

I now love you. I've been looking forever for something like this. There are hardly any references of women that don't look like bimbos.

Rather impressive, I I can only say, Moebius and Corben are (In my Opinion) some of the best, though they mainly uses just some idealized versions^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes. Moebius is a bit more grounded in his anatomy, while still idealized. Corben's anatomy looks flat-out strange, but it still works perfectly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, these two catched my attention pretty fast when reading the old heavy metal stuff^^

Lot's of great talent in those older issues. Liberatore is another one you should definitely check out.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will do, but I can only say, it is pretty hard to get your hand on the old stuff. They became a bit seldom. (And sorry for the bad English, I am native German)

You should be able to find back issues for pretty cheap prices on Ebay or the like.

Okay, I stand corrected: Wasn't that hard to find, but the Art of Tanino Liberatore is well... unique. Exeptionelly good, and I really feel ashamed of my own now, but it has some weird touch. I like it!
Thanks for that!

This was very helpful, thank you!

Wonderful! I love how they look natural, rather than over-idealized.
Do you, by any chance, have a male version of this guide?

It's planned very soon.

These are gorgeous! My body type's definitely full-figured, chubby. ^~^!

Thanks a lot! It really helpsme right now for drawing a muscular woman for the first time ^^

This is really cool. Thank you for making this.

I really love this, its informative and well constructed.
Just a question, for the height, what approximate measurements would you consider with every height
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Approximate, as in feet and inches? Or...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I meant in feet and inches (sorry if my question wasn't clear)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Again, it varies across the board, and since people's heads are such different sizes, measuring by heads is not a standard.
As for averages though, children would most like be between 3.5-4 ft, older children 4-4.5 ft, teenagers are approximately around 5, and adulthood 5.5 ft, and seniority being 5 ft again. Once again, these are based on average findings.

Thank you very much, that was very for the information!

Omg this is super useful I always had a hard time drawing females because they r so curvy and its hard for me to draw so many curves and that's why I think guys r easier to draw.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is super useful. Thank you for making this; I've been looking for something like this for AGES, and I've finally found it!

Glad you finally found what you were looking for!

Wow, this is truly fantastic! But I have to say, those muscles are nowhere near "overdone" XD
