Description
If it has become too obvious, I have low self-esteem. I'm not gonna lie, I'm fat. Not horribly obese, I'm perfectly healthy (my doctor's checked) but for the most part I'd have to say I'm so-so on the happiness scale
. But I see all these beautiful women on TV, inmagazines, and in books that it just makes me feel so self conscious. Not to mention my older successful sister is soo beautiful and well I'm not
.Both my nieces and my family say, I'm beautiful but I just don't see it. I can't count the number of times I look in the mirror and try so hard to see the beautiful person they see. The beautiful woman I want to be. I used two base that were from my good friend ~TokyoLynn , I did make the one base in the mirror a bit bigger to fit. I hope it doesn't break your rules,~TokyoLynn
.I've done this whole thing from paint, including the background
. The girl in front is me and the reflection is what I would like to look like
. Yeah I know the outfit & make-up look odd, but cut me some slack. I've never used make-up at all before except for Halloween make-up. If you like please comment.Note: I've decided to leave it as it is, so far most people like the mirror effect.

Just want to let you know, as a professional photographer, that all those "beautiful women" you see in magazines are really the tall lankey girls you knew in high school. They're just caked with makeup and hit with lighting techniques and photoshopping that makes them look far prettier than they really are. Look at what make up artists can do, and you'll see that most of these women you see in the media are false beauty.
Trust me, you're far more beautiful than you think, because you're real. C:

I support this, i have terrible self esteem and a mother who puts me down when she can. I'm am an overly hypercritical person and i honestly think i'm fat and ugly cause that's all i've been told, but now my friends are telling me the opposite and i feel bad that they think that it's true

I think every other woman feels this way. Whether it be a certain facial feature, or the shape of your body, etc. Don't ever feel alone. =]

I saw this as your featured deviation and I immediately knew what this was when you mentioned that others could relate to it.
That makes this pic all the better
Now if I may, even if you don't look quite like the trendy..... somewhat Romany?.. girl in the mirror, she's in you. Every girl is a fox, she just needs to be convinced of that, and then it becomes true

It was my pleasure, we've all been there with the low self-esteem, and we all still feel it.
Honestly though, based on how you draw yourself, and the fact that you're Mexican (is that what you're shout out said?), and what your family says to you, I think you're probably a cutie c: Yesh

I've had an idea similar to this one for a while now. This is really good 
You shouldn't have too low self-esteem if you can draw and paint this well!

Think nothing of it. I'm glad someone could put this idea across so eloquently
