    fat? that’s a deltoid muscle and it’s the bottom portion of the model’s arm. I’m a size 0 and it’s normal to have a crease in the armpit when making that move/pose. And btw, guys and girls dig other girls that have toned body parts.

    Pfft. who says stick skinny or heroin skinny is glamerous. That is usually associated w/goth or music types. bleh. Nice to see an average or real looking model that looks like a girl in my town.

    Who cares about what patterns the person used. It’s the method of instruction and how to use photoshop that matters. You are welcome to change and use whatever you like. It’s just a quick demo.

    the armpit and the uppe arm look fat, that doesn’t seem to be glamorous. also this awkward bias lines and guitar parts don’t fit in here.
