I wanted to try to draw my body type accurately for…. Personal representation reasons… and tbh this made me feel a lot better.
Ahhhhh old drawing comparison under the cut
The main thing here I wanted to focus on was my actual physicality. I’ve never been very good at drawing myself in a way that actually looks like me…. Mostly because I’m a strong bitch with wide shoulders and strong legs… and before this last year I’ve been really self conscious about it?// but recently I’ve been seeing way more people drawing characters that look like me and it’s made me feel so much better. I know that sounds dumb but it’s true lmao
I've said this before and I'll say it again: it's more important to know and understand fully why something is harmful than it is to drop everything deemed problematic. It's performative and does nothing. People wonder why nobody has critical thinking skills and this is part of it because no one knows how to simousltansly critique and consume media. You need to use discernment.
