[Image ID: A digital drawing of various amounts of different fore arms and hands that surround an image. There are 10 arms, and behind them is a red heart with an off-white background. The arms consist of prosthetic arm, handless arm with vitiligo, two hands with only two fingers that curve into a claw like shape, two hands with very tiny sphere like nubs where one has self harm scars, an arm that has veins and scarring, a hand with an extra finger, and an amelanism arm. The arms vary between skin tones. End ID]

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of an upper body individual. She is pulling the sides of her mouth with her pinkies. She is wearing rings on its right hand, a black shirt that lifts a little to display a fishnet shirt on its stomach, a hot pink plaid skirt, a choker with spikes and a metal loop in the middle, and her left arm has a fishnet sleeve. She has reddish-pink eyes that are almond-shaped with a semi-transparent gloss in the shape of a heart on its eyes. She is wearing pinkish-red lipstick. Its hair is in large double buns which are multi-colored in shades of pink and pinkish-black. The lineart of her is a gradient of red and black. There is a transparent overlay of static on the drawing while she is displayed on a pinkish-white background. End ID]
