Pretty hurts tooby *Zindy

Traditional Art / Drawings / Portraits & Figures

©2007-2013 *Zindy

This drawing is inspired by a conversion I overheard. A large girl was talking about how a pretty girl she knew was so sad and miserable. She had tried committing suicide, even though she was so pretty and skinny. She seemed suprised as she said it.
It made me kind of think about how people see one another. One is certain, skinny(as a lot see as "perfect") people can be just as sad and miserable. Regardless of how you look there'll always be something to hold yourself up against and measure yourself to.
Pretty hurts too...

I wanted to create something simple, with the focus on her eyes. I really like 'simple' these days.

Thanks to
