do you have any pointers on how to draw buff women? kinda like casqua or sid i've been trying to diversify my designs and i love love love the way you draw em
I think the like, "generally correct" answer to this is to use reference, to a point. You can look at body builders, pro wrestlers, there's a really cool series of photos of different by Howard Shatz that shows how athletic/big bodies can come in a variety of shapes.
My fun answer is this: don't be afraid to keep going bigger, espECIALLY in the arms or shoulders. I think if you're not used to it, you will think certain amounts of muscle, especially on female bodies, will read as Big. This is due to your own inexperience and our cultures very, very narrow few of what buffness on women looks like. This is something to keep working at over time!! As like. An example, here's a drawing of Pam from 2013
Here's a drawing from late-2013 when I decided she should be "buff"
here's her from the latest Paradise chapter (2022)
It's something you'll grow into and feel out over time. Don't be afraid to exaggerate! Have fun! For god sakes broaden the shoulders.
