here's a compilation of some of my favorite redraws of my dnd characters over the years. i like to make new characters for each game so i have a LOT but these are some of my favs who have stuck with me, tho i don't get to play them anymore :'0

#starttofinish for my "lilies" painting

using reference isn't "lazy." obviously don't copy someone else's work 1:1 - use your artistic expression and common sense - but most professional artists use reference and most employers expect you to use reference in order to create compelling work.

#ReferenceVsArt

reference can be used for posing, anatomy, color palettes, painting methods, etc.!

using reference can not only help to show you how something looks, but can also help you create more varied work, since it helps you pull inspiration from outside of your head

#ReferenceVsArt

there can be a lot of stigma online about using reference when creating art and i don't often see people sharing the reference material they use, so i want to see if i can start something to show how common and beneficial using reference is!

fat people not being your "aesthetic" is just an excuse to assuage your guilt from not tackling your own internalized fatphobia, and also a way to reassure yourself that you're not a bad artist for being unable to draw more diverse body types.

here's some recent fat paintings i've done! 😘

i still think it's so ridiculous any time someone tries to use "aesthetics" as an argument against drawing fat bodies. as far as i can tell that just means either your brain is weak or your skills are lacking 🤷‍♀️
