ElfQuest Fan Art

Oh, and Startear, may I post this to my art page? it's your character, so if you want this to stay here, it's also fine by me...

Glad you like it! but seriously, is she too bony? or other things wrong about her? Oh, and thank you for letting me upload this to my art page! here is a link to the image if you wish to check out I didn't mess things up... http://wahhoo.tumblr.com/post/138178557766/wavedancer-ekah-2016-something-i-drew-for

I'll post the other image soon, don't get too excited though! it is a quick marker sketch, did it as I was wondering if I should draw her with markers of wood-colors, the markers were too dark so it looks a bit weird...

No, honestly Ekah really looks great! She looks bony, yet like she lives in the active lifestyle of Wolfrider, or in this case, Wavedancer lifestyle! Only think I might pick on is that her amulet is pink-ish, not red. But that could also be the scanner though.

I wouldn't have considered the color combination, but I really like it. As for bony, I think her arms are a bit thin but not necessarily bony. Perhaps against the defined waist and hips they may seem bony or bonier than intended. I like the hair floating around her, it shows movement and the fact that's what happens when you're underwater! She looks lovely and really having a great time. Wonderful job!

I think one of the most important things when drawing different sizes and body types is to take everything in, but not be afraid of variation! Fat and muscle sits on different places. You can have muscled legs but thin puny arms, like meself. Or with strong upper body but thin legs, or both, etc. Same with fat.

 I... I often find that when people draw women who are plus size, or fat if you prefer to take that term back, glorify big boobs, draws a slightly bigger stomach and calls it a day. Then go on and neglect other "less pretty" parts. Like rolls, or stretchmarks. Or even the much dreaded double chins. Which is understandable, because many of us who have these things are ashamed of it. I can speak from personal experience that while I love my body, my double chin is something I sometimes get self conscious of. But the truth of the matter is, some thin people have double chins, rolls are natural part of our bodies, and everyone gets stretch marks. But it's only called after when drawing someone who is plus size. Which is understandable but it gets fustrating tas well.

Ah, great words Berit! Yeah the world is waaaay to good at showing you your flaws and making you being ashamed of it, even though there actually is nothing to be ashamed of... I often really wonder how I would judge my body if it never received any judgment from the outside.
