| Twitter | Instagram | Tumblr | Blog | Society6 Shop (Prints and other items available!!!) 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 women are some of 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
) 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

Yeah, yeah. How beautiful it is to accept ourselves as we are ... Too bad that some of those bodies will not live more than 40 years due to a heart attack.
Some people really love to normalize obesity, right?
That said, I love the drawing style.

Well sorry that you hate it so much, but I certainly don't love "all body types" equally. Indeed several pictured here seem unattractive and downright unhealthy.

I love pictures like this. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. I find all shapes and sizes beautiful and this depiction is awesome.

you should add that your drawing was maybe inspired by a NIKE ad campaign from 25 years ago that ran in British VOGUE, Rolling Stone, and other magazines.

You know, I don't want to sound like an ass, ah, fuck it, who cares, I'm not an asshole, but the L is just unhealthy, not saying it's not beautiful, but still, unhealthy.
Besides that a nice drawing you made, I just don't agree with the message this picture gives me, if it is the same message as the artist intented.

Sorry, are you a doctor?Β That is not necessarily an unhealthy body weight, especially depending on her height. Whether its healthy depends on genetics and other factors involving the internal organs as well. But you wouldn't know that because apparently you have no medical background except your own personal opinions on what is healthy and what is not.Β I suppose you think A is really healthy, even though she is extremely skinny.Β That just may be too skinny for her...but yet you said nothing about the anorexic looking women in this picture. I tell you what.Β Why don't you first get medical education then come back in a few years and try to say something that doesn't reveal how idiotic you really are. Ok?

1. I'm not a doctor, but I do have internet access.
2. maybe.
3. Correct, height does matter, but I assume that these people are supposed to be part of "healthy" people who don't have any rare disease which makes it "impossible " to lose or gain weight.
4. genetics have a part in obesity, but:
"Sequence variations within a pool ofΒ 56 different genes have been reported as being related to obesity phenotypes, however, only ten of those genes showed positive results in at least five different studies."
"In brief, current knowledge brings to the conclusion that genetic factors may be involved in the etiology of obesity and, exclusive of very rare severe obesity cases, the genes involved are probably genes thatΒ interact with environment factorsΒ related to energy intake and expenditure to increase the risk of obesity."
5. Does someone need a medical background to know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?
6.You suppose, you assume, but at the end, you don't know what I think about "A"'s body type, but yeah I would put her somewhere close to being underweight, but maybe she just has an athletic body type.
7. You expect me now to study medicine, wow, halt. I may be Asian, but I'm no clichΓ©. What are you? Some kind of racist? /s
8. Well, I'm not smart, but I wouldn't consider myself stupid/idiotic. I mean did I assume you are stupid or idiotic?
I don't know you, you don't know me, I don't know your education, you don't know mine.
But hey, today it's okay to assume everyone's intellect based on one comment which is to rows long :/

You missed the entire point.Β 1.) You cannot determine whether someone is obese by size alone.Β Yes if the person is 600 pound that is obese, but a fat person is not necessarily obese, which you failed to comprehend. 2.) You did in fact ignore the EXTREMELY skinny women in the picture and tried to use "health" as your excuse to discriminate.Β If you were really concerned about that, then why not criticize the extremely skinny girls in the picture?Β Yyou assume she's athletic, but how can you assume the big boned girl is not?Β My step sister is extremely athletic and yet she is much thicker than me.Β That is my point; you are using health as an excuse when really you're just anther shallow idiot.Β Β
You're Asian? No surprise.Β They tend to equate "skinniness" with health which is why their women look like sticks in those countries.Β But are they necessarily healthy? Not really.
Again, if what you say is ignorant people will assume you're ignorant.Β If what you say is biased ad shallow, people will assume you're biased and shallow. Simple as that.

1. I never said you can determine obesity by size alone, but comparing body build with their height I can get somewhat of an image where they would be categorized.
2. "[You] assume she's athletic..." nope I did not I actually said I would put her close to being underweight, but maybe she is just athletic, I acknowledged the possibility of her being underweight, but you seem to ignore that statement. again, the artist also doesn't seem to draw any details which suggest that any of the skinny women are actually underweight and even if the artist did so, I would also say that it's unhealthy.
3. Now apparently me being Asian answers all your question about me and my opinions about body types, again you assume shit about me. I don't like women who are too skinny, I don't like women who are obviously too fat.Β
What exactly is ignorant about the things I said? what is supposedlyΒ biased and shallow?
π: 0 β©: 1
The fact that you focused mostly on the bigger women shows it all.Β Whether you don't like too skinny or two fat, you suggested that the women who were bigger were the unhealthy ones which showed how biased and shallow you are. You can try to clean it up if you'd like, but your original comment was targeted at bigger women in general,Β You say that the artist didn't draw any details that suggest the skinny women are underweight, however the artist alsoΒ never suggests that any of the heavier women were OVERWEIGHT either.Β YOU assumed they were unhealthy because of how they looked.Β Which is why I claimed it to be a shallow observation.Β Β
I mentioned Asia because I know that there standards of health is "skinny as possible" in many cases.Β The standard prefers skinny over heavy and even a little meat on the bones would make them say someone is fat.

Okay, you know. I'm tired. after this comment, I won't replay anymore. this conversation is now nearly a year old.
obese people who are considered healthy still have higher health risks than "skinny"/normal weight people.
Obese people "stick" (the irony, funny isn't it) more out than skinny people at first glance.
I mean you probably will notice a bear first, before you see the squirrel on the tree next to it.
well, the artist suggested that the women are obese by well.. simply making them look like they are obese. who would have thought that when you see fat people that you think that they are.. fat? Shocking.
Shallow observation. I call it obvious observation in a generation where childhood obesity has a rate of 18.4% and 1/3 of all adult Americans are obese..Β which well, before the 90's and wasn't that much of problem then.
Well, not every AsianΒ life in Asia, not every Asian has two Asian parents. my father is German,Β was raised in Germany and because of that I consider myself a German national socialist citizen

So you thought, "You know what sounds like a great idea? Going onto a post about positivity for women and saying 'but not this demographic in particular'. That definitely doesn't make me an asshole."
π: 0 β©: 1
Accept your body if you want, but the examples I pointed at in the picture is something I can't say "This is normal and healthy."
it's not, okay?
I think since I'm myself overweight I can say that this body type is unhealthy.
I mean god damn. my body type is unhealthy.
Again, if you are fat, you can accept yourself as you are, but that doesn't change the fact you live a cleary unhealthy life if you don't have any medical conditions which make it harder for you to lose weight.

I love this piece of work. I really think it is important to show that us plus size girls are pretty too. honestly, I think that any guy who thinks only skinny girls are pretty aren't worth it. I really love what you did here Isaiah!

Good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with them. Women also come in many different ages, and don't need to go around in bra and panties to be beautiful. Also, an artist needs to be literate--"The Scarlet Letter" is something you obviously haven't read.
π: 0 β©: 1
They are in bras and panties to show their bodys. Of course they don`t need to go around with them to be beautiful, but the bodys shapes are more visible if they are undressed, obviously. I don`t see what`s the problem with that. The author of the drawing isn`t objectifying womans, if that`s what you mean.

Yeah, nice message....Do you feel the same about males, I wonder?

He's a straight male, so I think he wants to show his appreciation according to his sexuality...

This is truly appreciated. I thank you for this point well made, and hopefully that this message will pierce the heart of any male chauvinist who chooses to point out the flaws and "ugliness" of any woman in general.

Can't believe some of these comments. All body types should be celebrated, no matter what your "preference" is because women don't need to meet your ridiculous expectations. We have skin, we have organs, and we definitely have some body fat. Being thin or being heavy is nothing to be ashamed of, as long as it doesn't make a negative impact on your health. Healthy bodies are greater than perfect bodies. We should never try to push people into what we think is "right" because it's a darn diverse world out there and if you think otherwise, you need to get with the program. Rant over.

Yes preach!

Iβm sorry to say, but thereβs a line between unhealthy fat and unhealthy skinny. Itβs not about preference, itβs about health; both are bad for you and can result in early death.
