Hi! I just wanted to say I love your art and your characters so much their like some of my favorite ocs I've ever interacted with. But I was wondering if you don't mind answering what do you do when it comes to drawing different body types, I struggle a lot with that in my own art
Hello and thank you both for liking my characters as well as the fanart!!!
For drawing different body types, I studied lots and LOTS of anatomy for a long time. It can be daunting, but it takes a lot of dedication, study, and practice. Here's some stuff that I hope helps!
[sorry, edited for fixed links]
If you are looking for a more realistic style:
The Morpho Books for muscled and fat bodies are great. There are PDFs online too, but you didn't hear that from me
A drawn guide about how fat sits on the body
photography series about different types of olympic athletes
If you'd prefer to do a more stylized look, then focusing on shapes is really helpful! I find it's easiest to study other artists and surround yourself with diverse art. Here are some examples!
Stylized drawings of many body types!
More stylized body diversity
Even more diverse bodies!
A guide for how to draw fat women, by my wife!
And a guide for how to vary the ratio of muscle and fat

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.
www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.
www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.
https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.
www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.
http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.
www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.
www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.
www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free
Here’s a thing I see a ton of people mess up, even Studio Ghibli. Hopefully this is an easy graphic you can pull up to help out.

i love that every pokémon is someone’s favourite pokémon. it doesn’t matter how much you dislike a pokémon or how forgettable you you think a design is, out there is someone who thinks it’s their baby. my coworker who only discovered pokémon through pokémon go absolutely loves tangela and has a small army of fully powered up ones. at an expo once i saw a woman at a booth desperately trying to find an onix plushie because it was her daughter’s absolute favourite. i talked with someone recently who announced sudowoodo as their tippy top favourite. every single one is loved by someone and idk, i think that’s gotdang heartwarming
