It is a fact that trying to draw characters with face and body variation when you’re not used to it can be really hard. So if you see an artist describing a character they drew as “chubby” and you don’t think they look “chubby enough”, your first recourse should not be to go for the whole nasty callout schtick. That’s only ever going to upset and embarrass them.
And maybe, in the end, they won’t respond well to constructive criticism or suggestions of good reference either, but if your first instinct is to be a complete ass, there’s no chance of doing any good.
HEY PSA THIS APPLIES TO FACE TYPES TOO
You think someone’s not making the character’s nose big enough? Their eyes are too round? Some people are still adjusting out of a style that doesn’t do well with that stuff. There is no need to be an ass.
i’m a headchef and a restaurant owner and you are a feared critic coming to eat at my place
both our cars broke down and we just made it to this tiny gas station to wait till morning but the whole place is really creepy
we were both in a restroom when the building was surrounded and everyone is a hostage, except i don’t think anybody knows we’re here
our grandmothers met recently and are now the best of friends, trying to set us up
i went skinny dipping and you went skinny dipping and this is most certainly not my shirt that i’m wearing
i tried to use self-check out when buying lube and it froze hopelessly and you were the employee to come and help me
i cluelessly inherited this huge mansion and everyone in the close-by village is mean to me and you take a pity on me and help me out
i’m an unethical social scientist who joined this ufo believers group incognito pretending to be into it but really i’m just trying to write a book… wait are you in the exactly the same situation?
we’re tourists on a cruise and my bf/gf kicked me out of our room, please help?
i’m a museum night guard and just found you sleeping curled up in the stone-age settlement exhibition
