Daily Creativity: Love Your Body Line DrawingDaily Creativity: Love Your Body Line Drawing

Love Your Body is a series of Body Positive art that I do. This piece is very much on the fat acceptance side of the body positive movement. I like the simplicity of the lines I make with my ink brush. It really is a style I’m enjoying. I plan to do more of these. I’m saving the photo I worked from to use again for a watercolor painting too. You can find the resource photo here on tumblr. You can see that I modified the pose a little for composition sake. Ink on paper.

Daily Creativity: Cass Elliot - Big Mama CassDaily Creativity: Cass Elliot – Big Mama Cass

Cass Elliot was an amazing talent, and she was also fantastically out there as a fat icon. Just a quick google search will show you how she had some amazing outfits and photoshoots, one that stuck with me is a nude she did in a bed of daisies. Flower Power, right? Sadly she didn’t get ti live in a world that wasn’t fat phobic and she wasn’t able to stand the pressure. A mix of crash dieting and drugs contributed to her passing, and I wish I could hug her and tell her how important she is to fat people to see and look up to. I am so please to add this to my Love Your Body collection.

One thing I learned is she didn’t like being called Mama Cass, but wanted her full name used. So in that respect I have titled this Cass Elliot.

I painted this with watercolors and was very light on the paint. I left the pencil marks because I wanted to use them to convey the daisies. Painting tons of tiny daisies I think was the hardest part of this piece, I hope it looks ok.

Daily Creativity: 4 pack with a fat tummy – Love Your Body

Daily Creativity: 4 pack with a fat tummy - Love Your BodyI got a 4 pack with a fat tummy, it’s something I have noticed recently as my muscles are getting defined from aikido. I never quite realized you could have a 4 pack with fat on top, I knew the muscles were there, but never expected to see them. This drawing is how I see it when I look down or look in the mirror. The shading makes my middle look smaller than it is, but I tried to show where the rolls lay and what I’m seeing. As I journey through self love I find myself loving and being marveled by various aspects of my body. Things like my very deep belly button used to embarrass me, and now I draw it as dark and deep as I can because it’s fascinating.

Princess Tiana is a fantastic role model and I’m so happy with how that Disney film was crafted. I knew of Tiana before even seeing the movie, my niece was obsessed with her. There was also this amazing cosplayer who’s picture I saw around a lot, she did a great Tiana and I fell in love with her other cosplays. Her name is Brichibi, and you can find her all over the web, facebook, twitter, tumblr, and her site. I knew I was going to love her before seeing the movie. Then this past year I watched it and I did indeed fall in love with not just Tiana but so many of the characters and the story. I wish I had her as a disney princess when I was younger.

Fat Little Mermaid - Daily CreativityDaily Creativity: Fat Little Mermaid

Last night I drew a common character a bit more fitting to my personal body type. I drew a Fat Little Mermaid, and I think she looks cute, and warm. I didn’t take too many liberties other than her size, though I think in the future I might make her more in my own style. I’ve thought a while about redrawing popular characters to make them chubby, I’ve seen it done before and it always looks cute to me. I painted this with ArtRage on my iPad. I wasn’t able to upload it until after class today.
