Drawing the perfect body proportions isn't quite easy as well as how skinny or how fat you want the character(s) to be. No body drawing isn't perfect.

There are consistencies to keep in check though :yes: Like lengths. These can vary, yes, but you can canvas most humans to a specified measurement range. The ones that you can't canvas will be apparent, and it's the artist's job to make it obvious that they are meant to not rest in the physical normal of humans. having elbows bending the wrong way or unnatrally means a lack of understanding of the human body no matter how much artistic liscence or racial diversity they have.

Knowing how to draw fat correctly is a lost art today though I must say. I see a lot of skinny. not so much slightly overweight or slightly more. We have a few artiss here on PD that can draw weight though :)
