Description
So far I've had a total lack of suggestions for anything to add to this, but if anyone does have a good suggestion I'd be willing toAnyway I made this because I couldn't find any references when I wanted to create a chubby male character, and also because I think it's important to promote diversity of body types in art and show that being bigoted against fat people is just as bad as being bigoted against people of other ethnicities or sexual orientations.
If you find this helpful you may also want to look at my Bishounen Skeleton Silhouettes anatomical reference:

Fantastic tutorial! It's so difficult to find unbiased information on how to draw heaver body types, especially ones showing the variety of ways that fat can be distributed. I'll definitely be coming back to this for reference

One of the few serious tutorials. Glad to see it, rather than the 'let's draw a cartoon stereotype'.

Hopefully this will alleviate the DA "fat is not fucking silly putty!" problem.

Kudos on making this. There's a sad lack of tutorials/how-tos/other such things on heavy set characters, and it's good to see them at least getting a little love.
Regarding suggestions... you've got a pretty good basic range going here. Maybe a few more examples of faces? Or perhaps something regarding neck fat? Neck fat is great.

very interesting, maybe you should have used a smaller brush for the drawings, but still informative. my drawings (more like drawing) of BHM is more simplified, so i couldn't really do a much better job on the details.
