Hairspray: Tracy dances on Tumblr

When I drew the first draft it looked totally wrong and when I put it over the reference photo to compare the proportions they were way off. Clearly I need more practice drawing larger people!

Via Tumblr I came across Fat People Art Week and I'm going to try to draw something for it (possibly getting around to it sometime this month, knowing me :D) since I really don't draw many fat people which is particularly silly since I could just look in a mirror or draw Cam. (And I may well do both of those things!)

But! It's hard to think of what to draw. So, who are your favourite overweight(*) characters?

My attempts to draw the Vorkosigan brothers have all failed miserably, but I do like Mark from Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series.
While she's only Hollywood fat I am pondering using this as an excuse to draw Sarah Rue, who was Penny in Eastwick and the doctor girlfriend in Big Bang Theory.
Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender is pretty cool though he stops being fat once he decides to be really truly badass, plus I already drew him a bunch.

That's who comes to mind after a very brief think but there are of course lots of others. *ponders*

(*)Which is of course an incredibly subjective term. I like the "not thin" definition on the fat art blog, I guess.
