To make this tutorial, you had to observe some real photos of fat people to understand it?

I guess, you had a really interesting experience.

Do I have any possibility at drawing near to your level of skill or higher, without attending in art university/college?

Of course! Everything you can learn at college can be learned online for free. There's even local life drawinf sessions you can attend at most major cities. College is less about education these days and more for networking, experience, critique, and environment. But yeah there's plenty of people without any schooling that are way better than me xDΒ

AzureAllure [2011-02-26 00:16:36 +0000 UTC]

one thing: you didn't mention why the legs were short. Is it the compression on it by the weight?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ThirdPotato In reply to AzureAllure [2011-02-26 03:22:06 +0000 UTC]

XD True. Well in my last tutorial I had people telling me the legs were way too long, and it does start to look strange when all the weight is added in the legs. So stylistically, I tend to shorten the legs early on. XD
