Arizona State Freshman, Judy Pierre sketches and paints women with all different body types and styles. She shows the importance of body confidence and shares her own body image experience in a painting she painted of herself.
"This portrait was inspired by an ongoing self-hate," Pierre said. "After drawing other women I started to appreciate small aspects of feminity. Once I finished this painting it made me realize that I am beautiful for my own unique attributes and I am proud of my body."Photo: Cara Martinez
Pierre said that her goal was to go outside of her comfort zone and practice the drawing of limbs. She decided to use colored pencils which made her have to work with her mistakes.
"This was one of my comeback drawings after taking time off from drawing," Pierre said. I put a lot of time into this piece and I wanted to make something smooth and relaxing."Photo: Cara Martinez
