i go to the university of memphis, and walking home from my class this evening, i saw these signs. iām sure thereās more all over campus but these are the ones i saw. it really hurt my heart reading them. because i know iāve had major self esteem issues in my life, and iām sure most of you have too. weāve all been there and we all know how it feels. the one that really got my attention was the one about how girlās self esteem peaks at age 9. and i thought āthat canāt be accurateā¦ā but then i thought about it, and iāve felt self conscience about my body/face as little as second grade. thatās about 8/9 years old. i just hate this. everyone deserves to feel beautiful. no matter what gender, weight, height, hair color, skin color, OR ANYTHING. weāre all people, we all have feelings, and weāre all beautiful.

Chris Hart has taught me that women in comics just need to be sexy. Also, seriously, stop drawing women with any other body type than whatās described here. Youāre making him cry.
PS – All but one of these are from the book, The Ultimate Guide for Comic Book Artists by Chris Hart. Ā The one about gossiping magical girls is from his how-to guide on drawing magical girls.
Part 2 is here.
Better keep this guy away from my comic, or he’ll have a conniption. And his dick might very well go flaccid.
“A FAT woman drawing herself FAT? OH NOES!”
Makes me SO GLAD that the new series I’m developing will be very body-type-diverse.

My submission for Love Your Body Day 2011.Ā Amanda of Love Your Body Detroit sent me a silver piggy bank, and I transformed it into Hyacinth, the fat ballet-dancing hippo from Disney’s 1940 film, Fantasia!
I was a little distraught that I had to give her away, but I’m so happy with how she turned out, and I have ideas on how I could have improved it, so I may make another one.
Her snout and cheeks were sculpted right onto the piggy with Sculpey, baked, and then she was primed and painted with acrylics.Ā Her little back feet have a coat of gold glitter nail polish for the ballet slippers, just because.Ā Then I sprayed her with an aerosol satin sealing spray, and hot-glued on her tutu material with gold glitter hot-glue.Ā The material is actually a Disney-branded trim, too!

I wish I didn’t have to give her away! I’M IN LOVE.Ā But it’s for an excellent cause!
