In the wake of the enthusiastic response to our previous Challenge, for this month, we'll be taking a second swing at another in the Diversity Series, from 5 years ago:

Challenge #52: Body Type Diversity

Create a drawing featuring someone of a different body type or size than the 'ideal' that is usually seen in media.

You can challenge yourself to draw a human/humanoid body type that's completely different to your own, or a body type that you identify with but rarely see in media, or even just one that you've never attempted before.

Since the goal is to break out of the default 'ideal' body type when drawing, focus on those who are normally left out of common portrayals as your inspiration. (eg. fat, disfigured, gender non-conforming people, etc.).

Here are two drawing guides that focus on body diversity: ( Pics )

Other Helpful Links (via syntheid):
- Varying Your Body Types
- Giving Your Characters Unique Features

The comment section of this post may be used for discussion of the challenge (ie. ideas, suggestions, questions, etc.).

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of the month, on Tuesday 28th February, 2023.

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)
