Description
I spent this afternoon listening to girly pop (mostly Yelle, Skye Sweetnam and The She's) and painting this.I know she's too skinny. I really aught to draw more realistic looking women.

Thank you. The green was kind of a random choice.

You shouldn't feel like you ought to draw anything. Imho, skinny looks suits the style that I see better. I'm not saying it does definitively, but that's how it seems to me.

I just don't want to be seen as a thinspiration artist because I really don't support that.

I don't see you that way. I see you as somebody whose art style is mostly based on thinner figures. Mine is too. TBH, it's not that I have anything against extra weight or fat or anything (in fact, I love classical paintings that usually depict bigger women), thin is honestly easier to draw. I've been trying lately to make proportions on my figures more realistic, though, and I think I've had *some* success.

Lol, I have trouble drawing more realistic proportions too. I just know that a lot of anorexics see thinspiration where it isn't supposed to be...

Ugh, I know how that is. You could always have an ANTI-THINSPIRATION thing on your work, if you wanted.

I really like the shading and the highlights in her hair

You did an amazing work with the watercolors <3
I love her face, and nice color on the skin

Thank you. I just used the orangey-red color in my paint set and blended it out with water.

Well, "realistic" is a relative term.
While I personally believe, say, there's too much focus on skinniness in media, it also is important to acknowledge that woman come in all shapes and sizes. So she's thin? So what.
I draw thin characters, fat characters, fit and flabby. The way I tend to decide on their figure is that I consider their personality and try to guess what either best matches their temperament/disposition and/or what would -contrast- their personality. Sometimes a person with a body and mind that don't quite match, or are contrary to the other, actually becomes more memorable.

You're right but I still think that no real women really look like the one I drew in this pic.

By the way, This piece is also fantastic.

Thank you! For the latter, I wait for the paint to dry before going over it with ink.

I love the colors in this, the blues in the shirt are really beautiful. Also her lips are so cute and lovely!

Thank you. I actually only used one blue color for the shirt and blended it to make different ones.

I love your style of art, and I wish that mine was as unique as yours!

I think your style is unique. I can always tell when a piece in my inbox is by you. I don't know how unique my style is considering I was influenced by (read: ripped off) a lot of different artists on dA. Thank you though.

Thank you 
Well, I still think that your style is really unique. It's never a shame to be inspired by somebody.
