fat venus

[Giordan]

hi guys i was planning to make a fat version of botticelis venu´s and i need all the help i can get here is some study sketches so far

It IS kinda comical, Im not sure what else to make of it right now

haha!

Her head is too big.

I would reccomend you do some accurate maserstudies of the original, before you try to parody it. And some studies of the way fat sits on a frame. It's interesting
and not at all as you would think... I think you are guessing.
and I would love to see a fat Botticelli Venus that was still beautiful
go for it!

I agree with everything in chaosrock's post.
Here's an example of what you should be aiming for (by Richard and Mark Hess)

[Giordan]

another try at it, i think this one is coming along better

Watch the neck, arms, knees and ankles. They need a bit more fat. To avoid that her boobies look fake, give her bigger nipples. Don't be afraid to draw them 'too big', in general, the bigger the boobie, the bigger the nipple is (that is for natural ones). Don't forget her ear. Her feet could be a bit smaller, drawing them a li'l smaller will make her look fatter.

Btw, i liked the first face best. That lady looked attractive.

complete different aproach, i didnt like how the pictures was coming along so i change the concépt but still included the fat venus
