Take a look at these two prior pieces to get an idea for what's going on:

So, after considering the options and doing some soul searching, I've decided, screw it. I like my current lifestyle. I love good food. I think eating good food is one of the greater perks to life. To deny myself that wouldn't be living life as I should! Or, so I feel. I've decided to continue as normal, take what comes, and be happy with whatever kind of body I end up with.

I hope the spirit of this piece can be felt: love of good food and self acceptance. Here's a couple of my favorite foods ranging from baked pork buns to watermelon to apple pie.

Actually, the cartoon of me didn't come out quite as I planned. The under-drawing looked all right, but the final pencil looks thinner than I'd planned, which I think is a little deceptive...or not. I dunno. Showing something like minor flab in cartoon form is tough unless it's exaggerated beyond reality. Oh well. You get the idea.

Carpe diem!

Made with colored pencil and watercolor.

You've captured such wonderful detail and beautiful colors with this piece. Plus I agree good food should be a part of a well balanced life.
:iconeuclidstriangle:
Nicely done. The coloring is very nice, and the food looks delicious. :XD: (You have excellent tastes, btw. lol.)

When I first saw this I thought it was Thumbelina XD
Looks cute. Colouring is fabulous.

:) I quickly read your other pages that go along with this and honestly, you have made me very happy right now.

I struggle a lot with my body weight too, but a little in the opposite of what you've been going through. I feel/know I am way too skinny, which really bothers me. I try to /gain/ weight all the time but it never works. Most people don't understand me on this issue so seeing that you feel the same way that I do, that bone-skinny is not attractive, makes me feel really good.

So thank you. :heart:

And here I posted a heartfelt and meaningful response to the last piece, before this one was uploaded.

Shite.;P

Wonderful colors! Your water color amazes with such bright and vivid tones and shades. As per usual, I envy your brush stroke.;P

Pretty colors! I like it!

This is excellent! You should do a follow up, showing her after she eats the food.

A big belly is a happy belly. A small belly is just a cry for help.

Your belly: fill it up, watch it grow. Be good to it, and it'll be good to you.

Add some belly in your life!
