Big beautiful art?

So there are few artists who look at all body types, and I admire their skill, but I was wondering if we have any here?

Some examples:

My art rarely includes people, but when it does I try to ensure my figures are diverse. Depending on why they're there, of course.
I don't really have any examples. People aren't something I've practiced much.

Unfortunately, I can't draw! I'm a terrible designer.
I do have some friends who draw and never have I seen them making a drawing of a big chick... usually drawing people is always the same... thin girl, muscled guy. Gets exhausting.
I really like those drawings!

Oh, oh. I cannot draw something like this. Very good drawings right there! I wonder where do you get the idea from.

I love these! Art should reflect real life, and as a society we are so quick to think fat is ugly, but these works show just the opposite. I love it because their bodies are not that of a Victoria's Secret model, but in most of these works of art, their faces look so beautiful and happy. I love the girl dancing in her underwear. It shows confidence, happiness, self-love and self-worth, regardless of her size.

Let us also not forget that this stick-figure image we are so accustomed to linking to "beauty" in this century has not always been the case. Ancient Romans linked a full figure with health and fertility, which was desirable in a woman. The Renaissance portrayed voluptuous women as angelic, and advertisements in the 1950's told women to PUT ON weight in order to be seen as glamorous and beautiful.

I like to see people of all types represented in art. What I don't like is nudity or presenting a woman as an object for the sexual interest of men by her attire and or pose. I feel like larger women have a hard time accepting that they can be a beautiful person without flaunting their sexuality. A person is so much more than that, and so much more valuable.

I used to pose for artists and the abstract paintings that were the final product looked incredible and it really fascinated me. I am not at all artistic in that way and would love to have the talent for it.

About Bunny
Jade Elizabeth is an eccentric young woman who enjoys writing stories and poems with hidden deeper meanings. She is quoted saying “Writing to me is not a hobby. It's a passion. It's something that lets my thoughts expose themselves, and my heart shine through where other art could not.”

Commonly her poems are inspired by love or depression, and are dedicated to the people who encouraged the emotion. Given the chance she will readily pull her poems apart, exposing the deeper and hidden meanings behind her words.

Her stories are usually unspoken messages to those close to her – giving every story a hidden meaning. Some things are better left unsaid, or in her case, expressed indirectly through stories.

Jade used to write Documentation for Simple Machines in her free time, but has since begun studying and working, which takes up most of her free time now.
