Hi! Just wanted to say I LOVE your art. Your style is so pretty. Sorry if you’ve mentioned this and I missed it, but do you have any tips for drawing chubby girls? I have some cute characters of my own who are cute and plump but I feel like they just don’t look right when I draw them. I really want to have diverse bodies in my art but I don’t know where to really start. Thanks again and hope I’m not a bother!

Thanks so much! I think the main issue that a lot of people have drawing femme fat characters is weight distribution isn't necessarily just on the tummy! I illustrated something quick as it's a little easier to explain that way but basically keep in mind the weight on the arms, thighs, and neck, and how it's pulled done by gravity. Allow yourself to experiment and don't be afraid to try out interesting body types!

I'd also heavily recommend this book called Morpho; Fat and Skin Folds! It's been a lifesaver for me!

People said that Tumblr isn't a great place to post original art that isn't fanart, but I'm doing it anyway because I haven't got the motivation to draw anything else

Happy pride month lads! 🧡💛🤍💙

“And I don’t think anybody should feel bad if they get diagnosed with a mental illness, ’cause it’s just information about you that helps you to know how to take better care of yourself.

“Being bipolar, there’s nothing wrong with it. Being bipolar is like not knowing how to swim. It might be embarrassing to tell people, and it might be hard to take you certain places. But they have arm floaties. And if you just take your arm floaties, you can go wherever the hell you want.

“And I know some of you are like, ‘But Taylor, what if people judge me for taking arm floaties?’ Well, those people don’t care if you live or die, so maybe who cares? Maybe fuck those people a little. I don’t know.”

I am abt to lose my fuckin mind because I happened upon this gender reveal party. and like it’s soo over the top expensive

And like I’m like. Oh great, a horse themed gender reveal party.

complete with like … just truly excessive foods and of course, themed cocktails

and this sign which like… the fragility of like *not* italicizing the word ‘colt’. Like imagine being this weird abt gender

with like, a bucket that eventually ‘revealed’ the gender

But like… the picture that really just completely undid me, for this party which surely was more money than many weddings -

it’s not a horse themed gender reveal party. It’s a gender reveal party FOR A HORSE. I can’t even like imagine the life that would lead to hosting a gender reveal party for a not-yet-born horse. Think abt getting an invitation to this. the cis are at it again.

"Bottom does not mean sub" might as well be occult knowledge to some of y'all
