You can’t possibly see me look like THIS

And tell me that I’m not a princess 👸🏻 ✨

This is your one invite a year to actively perceive me

Lizzo on: bodyshaming and beauty standards

Wife me up.

Rainbow hair. That’s all.

I feel bold, I wanna post a picture up of myself but I’m scared to. I don’t want like anyone hunting me down if they know what I look like…

Maybe I can show this

But yeah basically I look like my self insert in some sorta way hah…

I’m also plus size so…

I finally started doing art again this year

This is my third attempt to draw a female body, this one being my body. My newer plus size body I have only got since going on psychiatric meds and haven't been able to shed despite any exercise. Need to eat for energy and mental health now and not for weight loss. I was underweight before and living off copious amounts of coffee and almonds, not good. And this is the body i now have in this new chapter of my life since 2017 as a result of being schizospec + medicated. And that's ok. Me and my body have made it through one of the hardest experiences someone can be unlucky enough to go through and made it through all the subsequent and ongoing bonus health issues that came in the aftermath of psychosis

Hooraaay! Gonna tag this schizo art etc because it is hard af to get anything meaningful done with this illness (extreme fatigue setting in for the day currently since meds breakfast) so it is an extraordinary achievement to fight tooth and nail back to enough relative sanity to get back into the thing you are probably most passionate about in this world (other than love/people) that you became so scared of in your delusions that you damaged some of your work. (There was one high profile schizophrenic female artist I read about who also did the same thing - well actually she destroyed ALL of her work, sadly - 😭 in psychosis so I think it might actually be quite common-the destroying of one's art)

Let alone fight the sneaking fear that you have lost all your artistic talent/gifts and aren't up to the task of even the simplest artistic endeavour.

Despite all that and being so effing exhausted most of the time, this is schizo art. It's not all eyes and scary things. It is good to express that side of things, but it's become too stereotyped like that that that's all schizo art is, but it's us fighting all odds to produce any artwork of whatever medium

Question, tho (if you read this far): the left arm/hand (the viewer's right) I drew simply from my brain instead of the selfie phone hand and I feel like it's too long in relation to the other arm - but I did a quick measurement using my pencil and finger and they seemed to be the same length from elbow to wrist/start of hand). Sp the question is basically is the left arm too long lol?
