A tutorial on meatspace I made for my patrons last year! Making things exist in the same space believably is a difficult process, but hopefully this will help drawing softbodied subjects interacting together a little easier!

Really crappy/quick tutorial on how I draw muscles?
I tend to draw muscles very simply, and there are tons of other tutorials that are waaaaayyyy better! But I hope you enjoy yungterra!

So that's how to reference with digital art. Cool. Thanks for sharing it.
jellygay Answer:
It is! I always make sure to try and break the pose into shapes and work from there. I also like to use arrows to show the flow of the pose!!! I then open it next to my picture and draw the shapes scaled up in size as I draw on a 4000px x 4000px canvas usually. You can also use posemaniacs.com for referencing,
if you scroll down the right side and click “model” it has hands, a torso, and a head for practicing with.
Here’s 2 examples!!!
As a trans guy who’s been working out for a few years now and has learned a lot about their body and building muscle and whatnot in the process, here’s something I don’t see mentioned, like ever.
Abs don’t really look Like That™ when they’re relaxed.
Here’s a few examples from a Reddit thread asking for pictures of people both flexing and not flexing their abs
I rarely see male body positivity posts in general but I’ve never seen this mentioned, and honestly? Call me stupid for it if you want, but I genuinely thought that super defined look was something that was achievable in a relaxed state, simply because I’ve never seen anything to the contrary.
As someone with body dysmorphia as well as dysphoria, you can imagine the damaging effects that might have had on my mental health trying by to achieve the impossible. I can only imagine how many other masculine folk out there could be struggling with the exact same thing.
Anyway like, this is mostly to point out for masculine folks that might be pushing themselves too hard, that you’re probably doing better than you realise.
Anecdotal stuff aside, this is an important thing for artists to remember as well! This is something I never realised despite being an artist that goes to figure drawing classes on the regular and having modelled for them myself- because of course people with abs are flexing for the poses! I was doing it too!

Can you please do tutorials on how to draw bellys?
At least 3 people have asked me for belly tutorials recently so i figured why not!! Ive never done a tutorial before so…?
Something important to remember is ALWAYS look at references!!! There are plenty of really great blogs with people who post pictures of themselves ect that you could use to reference off of.
Another important thing is dont be afraid to edit! If something doesn’t look quite right and you can’t find a reference, then play with it till it looks more natural~
And if anyone is practicing and you can’t get something right, feel free to message me!! I’d love to help you improve your art through critique or example

lHey friends!
Meg here for TUTOR TUESDAY! Today has been hectic so I apologize for it’s lateness. But let’s look at male bodies and body types. I cannot stress enough that this is meant to be provide a few base body types that can then be compounded on as there are a MILLION body types out there. I’ve made anatomy tutorials and muscle/fat distribution tutorials that may help understand this one. This was recommended by @flowerlion-today , send in your recs here or my personal! Keep practicing, have fun, and I’ll see you next week!

Do you have any tips for drawing round ladies? :D
ronyavalentine Answer:
Hiya anon!
Well, I’m still learning myself, but here’s a few tips I usually keep in mind!
(No references here, sorry!!!)
And then, a lil tip that;
If you yourself pack some weight or have access to internet, libraries or just life on the street, you will see how bodies at different weights and shapes work and move. Use references, see for yourself — try to find how fat distributes and especially, HOW IT FOLDS! Folds and rolls seem to be one of the biggest problems many have while drawing thicker characters, and that’s ok — we’re taught as a society that fatrolls are inherently bad and disgusting, therefore there are not many situations where we’d find ourselves just… staring and studying how the fat in our bodies works and moves. You’ll learn quickly, though!
I’m still learning myself, but especially since every body is different and the weight we pack acts in unique ways, it can be really challenging to find the ‘absolute’ right way to draw thicker characters. Don’t give up! You’ll get the hang of it eventually!!
