<hr />
<p dir="auto">hip dips and prominate  collar bones can be a bit confusing, there's an idea that "<em>only super skinny</em>" people get these things and only women get hip dips, <strong>that is wrong!</strong> men can have hip dips too and having prominate collar bones doesn't neccerally mean someone is very thin.</p>
<hr />
<h1><a class="anchor-offset" name="collar-bones"></a>collar bones</h1>
<p dir="auto">collar bones are bones at the upper chest just under the neck, they are highly palpable usually.(<em>meaning, they are very "feelable" since they are close to the skin and typically there's also not a ton of fat stored in that area</em>) and they can change in appearance depending on pose and such. now if you're drawing someone who's plus sized, their collar bone likely aren't visible but for midsized (<em>midsized is a term usually used for people who aren't skinny but aren't plus sized ether</em>) and thinner people it usually is.</p>

so for context, i'm pretty chubby at 170 something pounds and 5'10, I do still have a decently prominate collar bone though, I should be an example of the fact that prominate collar bone doesn't = super skinny or anything. though these photos were taken at different times btw, so the lighting is different and so are the angles and such. </p></div>

<h1><a class="anchor-offset" name="hip-dips"></a>hip dips</h1>
<p dir="auto">now for this imma show a different type reference and not one of my own body, but we'll get to that in a moment.</p>
<p dir="auto">hip dips are dips at the hip area, they don't neccerally mean someone is skinny, they are natural  and caused by a variation of the human skeleton. they aren't exclusive to women nor does every human on the planet have hip dips</p>
<h1><a class="anchor-offset" name="example-ref-photo"></a>example/ref photo</h1>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1789841186536-screenshot-2026-09-19-12.45.56-pm.png" alt="Screenshot 2026-09-19 12.45.56 PM.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /><br />
imma be honest with you, you can draw your character with hip dips or don't, i've seen some people say that if you don't draw a woman with hip dips it's "<em>not accurate</em>" or somehow offensive to women or it's fan service but that's not really true. it's just a variation in the human body, maybe working out and building muscle will make it go away, but at the end of the day it's just a harmless anitomical variation in human anatomy that men and woman can get.<br />
if you draw your character in something like a skirt, it won't even really be visible, it's usually only visible in things like leggings and swim suits.</p>

<p dir="auto">I hope this was helpful to someone, these were just some things i've commonly heard and such, please be nice in comments and don't like, make fun of these things. I think the hip dip diagram in particular is especially helpful tbh lol.</p>

I do agree with you on the all bodies are beautiful thing, everyone has different prefences and i've actually seen some dudes who prefer hip dips</p>

All I did was draw buff shirtless dude with Hostess Twinkie next to him</p>
