Forums » Art & Creativity » General Art Question About References

Hiya!

I was drawing a reference for one of my OCs, and I plan to do the same for others, but a question arose in my mind.

One of my younger OCs has a lot of scars that are all over her body. However, she is under the age of 18. (16.)
Would it be bad to draw her full nude, however no visible privates, just to show where her scars are?

So she would be drawn in "Barbie Doll" nudity, basically. (Think of a barbie doll without clothes. That's Barbie Doll nudity. Lmao.) Or if that is also in very bad taste, I'd probably just end up censoring it.

But I'd like to get some confirmation on this, given she is not an adult. And you know.

I was going to let the mods respond, but it seems they haven't seen it, so I'll add my two cents to help you out.

If it were me, I'd use a super unrealistic style for this. Like:



You could put the scars on something like that and draw her seriously in another image. But if the mods are okay with the barbie doll nudity then go for it.

I can confirm that barbie doll anatomy is fine regardless of the age of the character!

Ahhh, thank you for answering! This really helps!
