Description
This challenge has it out for my hand. T~T It was still feeling it from drawing something like four hours straight yesterday, and then I just added on another two and a half with today's. xD Guh. I miss the days when school kept my hand so worked out that I could write or draw for six hours straight, every day, and barely feel it. Lol. D: I was totally feeling like the guy at the very bottom by the time I finished this. xD

Today's art challenge. More info on that here: [link]
If anything, meeting the ten different body types requirement was the hard part. xC Took me forever to find all the right refs. I came up with girl, boy, average woman, average man, skinny woman, skinny man, curvy woman, heavy man, old woman, and old man. But finding a full body ref of an old woman was just about impossible (and Google kept turning up images of old women with horns...) and the full body older man I found was also the only heavier man I came across, so I decided to combine old and heavy as my ninth type and went for pin-up/model body types for men and women because those were everywhere. x_x Hopefully each type is identifiable from the next.

Fortunately after this the challenges should get more interesting and into things I haven't had much opportunity to do before. I already have piles and piles of gesture sketches of figures. v.v So I ended up being more detailed than the challenge probably calls for because I want to learn muscle definition / shapes better for each type, and not just practice even more silhouette type of stuff. Never really drew kids before though, so that's new.

Refs were from various stock on DA, including but not only -
