I was recently criticized for not showing enough diversity in my artwork when it comes to the female figure First and foremost let me just say that I think that woman are the most powerful and amazing creatures in the world, truly! And while I will admit, I do LOVE drawing the “pear shaped” figure the most, I honestly love all shapes and sizes of the female figure. From average, to pear, to boyish, to curvy, to plus sized, to petite, to banana (whatever the hell that is :P) I honestly love them all, and i’d hate to think that anyone out there feels any different.
So thus-ly, I promise to start showing more diversity in my works
