i deleted the previous ask because my internet wasnt uploading the images correctly, here it is again.

i tend to draw fat bodies with most of the weight/fat being balanced in the stomach/upper thighs, thats kind of where it settles for me. dont be afraid of drawing stomachs that actually stick out!!

i think its good to remember theres a lot more flesh on fat bodies, and that flesh can accumulate in a lot of different ways. sometimes legs and arms can be very skinny and the stomach area is more fat. sometimes its evenly distributed and theres a lot of fat on the arms and legs. 

thats it i guess? i think its also good to actually look at real life bodies and just.. look at how weight is distributed, because its always different.  

REBLOGGING THIS HERE because this is more or less how my tutorial I was planning on making was going to go before I took too long to get around to it.  

Additional notes for my followers: 

As this artist is showing here, use wider shapes when doing your construction drawing and remember that just about everything should widen to fit.  Fat distribution differs on different people (like OP pointed out), but the areas people tend to forget to think about the most are the face, neck, and limbs.  

I also recommend looking at the difference between a pot belly and a pregnant belly (and if you’re curious about it it, food babys as well).  All three look different.  (Women can be pot-bellied as well, it’s not strictly a man thing)  

Sorry I didn’t get around to my own tutorial, but this artist’s is good so I hope it helps!
