Description:
The idea for this piece is that the girl feels like she doesn't live up to the world's standard of beauty. (I don't think the picture conveys the message very well, however, so I may redraw this piece.)

What I'm saying is this, nice art and it's very original. Good description too about the character.
Instead of doing something traditional..........you did something original!!!
Miranda_K.I love every element of this.
The concept is powerful. The art work is amazing. The colors are stunning. There is nothing wrong with this.

I'm surprised nobody as mentioned your roses at the background. They're beautiful. The colors in the hair are amazing too. So diverse and yet they all come together wonderfully.

LakeSidethis is just beyond great. i love all your work but this is my favorite! :)
JustineDWow, a very beautiful piece. I also love the message that this is trying to convey. Women (and girls) today seem to be constanatly influenced by America's materialism and the media. 'If you don't have this kind of body you're not beautiful', 'if you don't wear makeup you're not worth it'. Even things like how much body hair you have or whether there are braces in your mouth has become a point of controversy. It's great that someone expressed this in a watercolor as pretty as this. :)
