Hihi! I came from a couple of reblogs on both your tutorial on how to draw cleft lips and people with Down Syndrome, and both made me extremely happy, as someone who wants to focus their art on including as many disabilities and physical differences as possible. I was wondering if it would be alright to request a tutorial on how to draw the anatomy of people with Dwarfism? I have troubles nailing the proportions down, but i want to be able to draw them for fanarts for a fandom I'm in. Thank you for the great work, dude. Have a nice day/night and remember to eat a meal and drink some water!

Hi, I'm glad you enjoy them!

I could technically make one but there is literally no one "look" for people with dwarfism as there's hundreds of different kinds. The thing below focuses on facial features because that's more of my thing, but the same applies to body types - a person with achondroplasia and someone with Morquio syndrome will have different proportions despite technically having the same ("disproportionate") kind of dwarfism

You can check out Gary Parker's photography as it features a lot of people with dwarfism and is one of the better pose resources that I have found before. Especially the "Varieties of Dwarfism" gallery is really useful because it has exactly what I mentioned earlier; all these people have dwarfism and they look very different. So to actually nail proportions and features of disabled characters you need to know what kind of proportions you're looking for first (if a canon character has just Vague Dwarfism - research achondroplasia. it's the most common and has the most resources, reference poses, etc.), otherwise it's just gonna be difficult

Hello again!

In my story I'm writing a character who is a Scottish Fold. Scottish Folds have osteochoendrodysplasia or skeletal dysplasia. Specifically, my character, Gamma, has achondroplasia.

Even though Gamma is a cat, I want to make sure that his experiences are accurate and real to those with achondroplasia.

If you are someone who has skeletal dysplasia or achondroplasia, please reach out to me so that I can use your experiences to make Gamma as real as possible! And if you know someone with skeletal dysplasia/achondroplasia, share this post with them please!

Thank you so much.

in the process of writing a children’s story of two kittens saving the universe! it’s still very very new but once i actually begin to write the chapters i will update
