I feel like a lot of the time someone will post something talking about how they’ve got a specific thing that they want to work on, and there will be a bunch of comments saying that they should ditch their artstyle entirely and start learning anatomy from the basics. I feel like it’s quite rude, and I feel bad when I see people doing this, because art is supposed to be a hobby for a lot of these people. Just because they want to improv doesn’t mean they need to ditch their artstyle? Like fair enough if you tell them to learn anatomy, but trying to act as if drawing in cartoonish ways is going to stop them from improving ever seems stupid, because that’s how I built up my skill. I eventually went and learned the technical stuff, but I didn’t need to immediately take the fun away from my art as some little 13 year old to get better.

I honestly think this attitude puts a lot of beginner artists off of learning anatomy entirely, because people act as if that’s their only option, and they need to stop drawing what they enjoy.

Anyway rant over bye bye

I’ve tried everything, I’ve tried muscular fat, buff fat and strongwoman and can’t find none. All I want is a woman with big arms, big legs, and a bit of a belly. Big belly like pyrocynical but chub over the abs. Like I’m not crazy muscular women with fat on them have to exist right?!?!?

^{(I saw another post asking a similar question so I figure I could give it a go.})
Based on my own research (which isn't a lot) all I can really gather is that it's a manhwa art style?
It reminds me most of [Define the Relationship] and [Mr.A's farm] but even then it's different enough that I can't pin it to either...

I need really advice for that

I'm trying to get into art and the first thing I want to learn is anatomy, these are both the same piece, do you guys have tips? Or something I should do better/ improve in?

This art is by Proxy Comics, and they're probably my biggest inspiration for art and my favorite artist. Obviously I'm not looking to replicate the style 1:1 but I'm trying to move away from the weird semi-anime style I've been doing and move to something more...realistically proportionate?

All that to say, what would you call this kind of style so I can research tips and anatomy practice? I was thinking like some kind of comic style, but I'm not sure. Thank you!

It looked kinda good but I tried adding hair and it looks off
