Hot take but I’m kind of tired of this attitude that “non-sexualized female character = feminist writing”
There are very sexy/sexualized female characters that are complex and well written and there are non-sexualized female characters that are written TERRIBLY.
A female character’s physical appearance and sexuality shouldn’t determine the quality of her character.

"I used to think I could fix anything in my life if I just tried a little harder, or gave it more time. But some things aren’t going to be fixed. Sometimes, all you can do is make peace with it, and move forward, knowing you did the best you could."

Animal Photo. You pose a 3d skull model and select an animal species, and they give you a bunch of photo references for that animal at that angle. Super handy. Free.

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
