    Random tip directed at anyone who wants or needs it, when I created a Pinterest board for my plus size ocs, I looked for references of plus size people who would have their style as well. One of my OCs is goth, so I searched goth plus sized outfits, and then I did th same for my other oc. It really helps for clothing references and folds rather than trying to apply the reference of a non plus sized person onto a plus sized one

      One thing I other do is research about plus sized characters in games. One really intriguing game is a dating simulator (hold on, it’s cool) called Monster Prom/Camp. There are plenty of diverse characters of identities and appearances, even if they’re different species from myths/urban legends/the like. The art style is still a bit cartoonish but executes body types and character design brilliantly.

    Your thought process is so entertaining to listen, and your art is wonderful as always. I love when artist make a conscious effort to learn new features and shapes for their characters.
    Fun fact, as a latine person: don't worry so much about specific faces or skin colors! One of the beautiful things about latin people is our racial and ethnic diversity, obviously there's some common features from place to place, but most american countries don't have one "specific" body type/face shape/skin color ❤

    It's funny, I actually hate high waisted stuff because it constricts my (fat) stomach too much. Low waisted/hip hugging stuff is more comfy for me cause my stomach can just do its thing. I really like how this character turned out, she's soooooooo cute.

    As a plus sized person who always draws plus size oc’s based on inspiration of me and other plus oc models, I don’t think your drawing was too “skinny”.

It’s an amazing drawing and your art is still inspiring, I love your channel so much 😊❤

    one of the tips ive learned drawing plus sized people that may seem like a small detail is the belly button placement! with extra fat the belly buton tends to be lower and squished, which can help with figuring out how the fat lays on the stomach and hips

    Btw, for anyone that would like some help practicing drawing wider varieties of body types- particularly bigger bodies, I would hiiighly recommend checking out the “Fat and Skin Folds” Morpho Art Book! That was such an incredibly helpful resource for me when it came to breaking down how fat sits on the body! That book paired with references of real bodies really helped me improve in that area^^

    I love it when artists diversify their characters more because it makes me so happy to see characters I can relate to. I don’t see it very often, and cannot express nor emphasize the importance of it, so it’s really nice when artists do this. Regardless, the character turned out so bubbly and I love the name! Although it may be biased because that’s my name and I’m also Mexican, I found that part so funny. I was so shocked when you mentioned the name, I replayed the video to make sure I heard it right. Thank you for making this video, I can’t express how happy I am to see someone that looks like me in such a cute art style. It made my day💖

I still have programs so that I can play the old dress up games that ended after flash went away, and I'm inspired by a lot of the outfits and hairstyles, and even the facial features and bodytypes too (Some games actually used to look really pretty). I always wanted to be a designer and artist for the games but they ended right when I was trying to apply for a job.
