lionbotsreminder that even if you’re not posting art of him as outright skinny, posting art of hunk being only slightly thicker than the others is still Not Cool.
if you can’t draw him as he is - aka: fat - please practice more at drawing fat characters accurately in whatever style you have. and if you’re not at the point where you can accurately draw fat characters yet, don’t settle for posting inaccurate, not-fat art of him.
same for any fat character.
to clarify, i’m not saying you gotta instantly be good at drawing fat characters, cause body diversity takes practice, especially if you’ve only recently started to consciously/actively avoid fatphobic practices and ideas that society has drilled into you (i myself am still practicing drawing fat bodies and even just other non-beanpole bodies).
if you’re trying to better yourself and your art, that is good! if your sketchbook/folder is filled with in-between practice drawings as you learn, that’s okay. you’ll get there! but! if you actually post those in-between drawings, there’s really no end-result difference between your “practicing drawing fat character but i’m not quite there yet sorry” drawing spreading and getting notes and someone’s “i just don’t like drawing fat characters” drawing spreading and getting notes. because whatever intent it was made with, the image is the same: a character who is supposed to be fat, but is not drawn as such, spreading and getting notes.
also, y’all, please, watch out for this sort of thing in the art you reblog too. don’t settle with being okay with reblogging it just because “well, at least he’s not as skinny as the Skinny characters” like. no. don’t contribute to this sort of thing, please.
