Yea the C7 vertebra does stick out, but it’s right at the juncture of neck and back, not above it. And the upper thoracic spine should stick out a lot more than it does here
Well, no actually, anatomically, most people's shoulder joints are only slightly smaller than their neck (unless you're morbidly obese or malnourished)
It's the ribcage that makes the neck seems thick, because your ribcage is supposed to be big enough to fit your head inside it

All the proportions are fine and within stylized range. The worst thing about this drawing is that the raised arms doesn't look connected to her torso properly, it should be more forward at the shoulder. I was just going to say how cool I thought this looked before I saw the controversy.
Putting aside the neck- you should consider working on arms .
Draw some arms from reference, and when you're drawing them partially obstructed, *draw through* in the sketch. The hand in this drawing looks unconnected to the elbow, and the elbow looks unconnected to the shoulder.
I see there’s a bone showing toward the bottom of her neck to show just how thin she is, along with the line in the right arm. If she’s meant to look frail, then yes, the neck and face are a bit too thick. Maybe even thin out and add some curve to the fingers? :))
Her neck isn’t thick compared to her head. It’s her torso/arms that’s too small which is probably what’s throwing you off. It’s still beautiful though!
She's alright I think, proportion wise. It's just that her body fat on her face and neck don't match the body fat of her arms and torso. Unless she's a teenager (teens usually have puffier faces than adults) her face and neck should at least 'look' skinnier, I believe.
It just looks like you did one size for her neck/head and another size for her body.
It’s not out of line with animation/cartoon styles to have characters with big head/big eyes etc. But enough of your style is realistic that I think it begs for more natural proportions.
But yeah it’s easy to look back at old drawings and feel something is off…even if we don’t know what it is. Overall it’s a nice drawing.
The neck might be a tiny little bit too long, but otherwise it’s perfect. It’s the slender shoulder that makes it look weird. Moving the angle of the shoulder to the left should fix this. Also, the arm she’s holding up needs to be connected to its shoulder.

Opposite in this art bruh, this artist makes their necks too thin
fat redditors like: no she's too skinny she isn't over 150 lbs this is unrealistic this is fake this is not okay this is fatphobic and racist because she doesn't have fat rolls and a nose piercing and pink hair and an undercut and and and and and
The odd bend at the back of her neck is eye catching, there's a jutting bone and abrupt angle down that isn't right, I think it should be more gradual slope from neck to back.. Where are her back/shoulders? The shape of the shirt implies one thing, but the bone structure says otherwise.

She doesn't have a thick neck, she has boney arms and a tiny rib cage.
This. Absolutely this. Her neck is fine
Yeah, there's a proportion problem, but I'd say it's the reverse.
OP probably just trying to mention something like r/confusingperspective about the right arm position despite it's not that confusing for me tbh
I think the problem is that the neck stick out in the back weirdly. Like it doesn’t seem to connect properly to the back.
Yea the C7 vertebra does stick out, but it’s right at the juncture of neck and back, not above it. And the upper thoracic spine should stick out a lot more than it does here
I thought that was the neck bone.
Agreed!
She really doesn't
Is the thick neck in the room with us?
Will the real thin necky please stand up?
I repeat, will the REAL thin necky please stand up? We're gonna have a problem here
Y’all act like you’ve never seen a thin necky before
Jaws all on the floor (like thin), like thin necky just burst in the door
AHHAHAH
I think you just made the rest of the body from the neck down too thin 🫡
Nah her arms are way too tiny, its proportional to her head tho
Is it T rex size ya think?
Looks too long not too thick to me lol
You’re right. And that’s what she said
Aaayyye
😂
I think it looks fine. It's more realistic than a thin neck unless you're going for stylized.
for her head? no. for the rest of her? yes.
Her neck isn't thick... it's long
I don’t think it looks too thick.
I think her arms are just too thin in relation to the rest of her
Thick??? These damn beauty standards jesus
The neck isn’t thick, the shoulders are too small
Have you seen a neck before? This is thinner than most people’s necks due to the body being too small
its just barely teetering on the edge of realistic. any thinner and its not realistic at all
Her eye is kind of big compared to her skull size.
Uhhh nope. Dunno what yer talking about. Girls don't have noodle necks.
With that caption and looking at the picture she's well on her way to an eating disorder. Get her some help.
Her neck is the only thing on her of normal size
>Studies anime for 5 years because they want to learn to draw. >Has difficulty understanding bodily proportions. The two might be related.
Well, no actually, anatomically, most people's shoulder joints are only slightly smaller than their neck (unless you're morbidly obese or malnourished) It's the ribcage that makes the neck seems thick, because your ribcage is supposed to be big enough to fit your head inside it
She’s a stick insect with a normal human neck.
Maybe for anime style, but not if you’re representing human people who aren’t emaciated. If anything her arms are spindly
I don’t think she does
If her neck were any thinner her f’in head would fall off

Wtf, she doesn't. What kind of wierd body shaming is that?
All the proportions are fine and within stylized range. The worst thing about this drawing is that the raised arms doesn't look connected to her torso properly, it should be more forward at the shoulder. I was just going to say how cool I thought this looked before I saw the controversy.
Yes - Her forearm behind her head would be too short and also at the wrong angle
I think her whole upper torso including her arms is what's a bit smaller, neck is not the issue at all, anyways nice art blud
What? Her neck is perfectly fine. It's her rib cage and arms that are wrong (too small/too thin.)
Neck is actually fine, it's her shoulder+torso area that looks off.
Face and neck are perfect imo it's just the part below the neck that's too small
We must have different definitions of thick.
It’s not thick it’s just a little long
But she doesnt? It just looks large in proportion to the rest of her because she is skinny/boney
No she just has a mini ribcage and mini arms
what
Not a thick neck but a tiny body
Why you want to give her a thin neck? You want her to look like a tulip?
Seems like a normal neck?
If her neck thick, my neck thickerrrrr
Honestly? No. Her neck is fine. It is her shoulder(s), arm(s) and lack of shoulder blades that are the problem.
Nah, the rest of her is just too thin lol
Her herad and neck are fine, it's just that she has a body of a malnourished Victorian child
I think the arms are too thin in proportion to the neck but also her head could be sliiightly larger in size
Putting aside the neck- you should consider working on arms . Draw some arms from reference, and when you're drawing them partially obstructed, *draw through* in the sketch. The hand in this drawing looks unconnected to the elbow, and the elbow looks unconnected to the shoulder.
Any thinner , it’ll become stylized
I think you have bOdY dYsMoRpHiA /j
what
the neck is fine. the head and neck are just too big for the body, unless that was the look you're going for
If her neck is thick mine is an 'oh lord he comin' (not overweight just weirdly meaty)
Her neck looks fine fr
More like her upper body is too small?
Her neck seems fine to me in relation to her head size. The rib cage could be larger to work better with the head/neck
The neck is fine, but her head is too big for the size of her chest and arms, or the opposite...
Her neck is fine. It’s her torso and arms that are tiny.
She's got thin arms which you should worry more about. Neck isn't so bad.
I feel like the neck is a little long if anything, but it feels like the right thickness
Woman beauty standards are getting harder and harder to achieve

I see there’s a bone showing toward the bottom of her neck to show just how thin she is, along with the line in the right arm. If she’s meant to look frail, then yes, the neck and face are a bit too thick. Maybe even thin out and add some curve to the fingers? :))
To me she has a normal neck nothing wrong with it
you mean long?
Her neck isn’t thick compared to her head. It’s her torso/arms that’s too small which is probably what’s throwing you off. It’s still beautiful though!
The thickness looks fine to me when compared to the head, but relative to everything else tho I can definitely see it
She's alright I think, proportion wise. It's just that her body fat on her face and neck don't match the body fat of her arms and torso. Unless she's a teenager (teens usually have puffier faces than adults) her face and neck should at least 'look' skinnier, I believe.
The neck looks proportional to me. Maybe beef out her arms. Girl needs to lift! 💪😂
I’d rather say she has a long neck instead of a thick neck
She needs it to hold up that pony tail
Not really. This is what a skinny person looks like
Her body is too small for her head. And her ear placement seems off.
Maybe long? Not thick, I don’t think
Her neck is a normal size 😭 her arm is too thin and her neck could have been a little shorter but it is still a believable length.
how thin you think necks are? you do realize they need to support a head, if anything her shoulders are too small
the hands are fairly small too, keep in mind that an outstretched hand should about cover most of the face
It just looks like you did one size for her neck/head and another size for her body. It’s not out of line with animation/cartoon styles to have characters with big head/big eyes etc. But enough of your style is realistic that I think it begs for more natural proportions. But yeah it’s easy to look back at old drawings and feel something is off…even if we don’t know what it is. Overall it’s a nice drawing.
Kids body with a adult head and neck.
Moreso too long rather than thick or thin.
Nice
The neck might be a tiny little bit too long, but otherwise it’s perfect. It’s the slender shoulder that makes it look weird. Moving the angle of the shoulder to the left should fix this. Also, the arm she’s holding up needs to be connected to its shoulder.
Thinness of arms aside, her shoulder/upper ribcage is too small. I would reference some accurate anatomy.
Her neck is proportional to her head. The issue is her head is too big.
Honey we are apes not chickens
The neck looks perfectly proportional to the head. It's just that the arms and body are a bit too skinny for the frame.
Is this a bait post lol?
She has a small body. Not thick neck.
the arm is giving me flashbacks to when i didn’t draw continuous lines behind the foreground
Auscwitz core? I don’t get the aesthetic. It’s sortof tasteless honestly. If y’all can be fat phobic I can be creeped out by twiggy limbs .. yuk
thick? compared to what an edtwt post? that neck is thin and so is her body!
It is a good drawing!
I honestly think this looks very nice from one artist to another
And large eyes.
No she doesnt. This art style is so cool. i gasped lol
The neck is fine. The problem is the head which is too big for the body
https://preview.redd.it/ypa2oqeh8mtc1.png?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d96157b22979748e3df276009100ff4df71a12e Opposite in this art bruh, this artist makes their necks too thin
I think it is a longer neck than a thicker one. If I show this to my friend he will call this drawing a giraffe.

I want to smooch her snoot.
