A fun day out in a blooming meadow, being free. The idea for this came to me one day when I sitting in my backyard and the dandelions suddenly bloomed and I was surrounded in yellow. (No I wasn’t nude lol) This is designed to be a surface pattern, I was thinking on a picnic blanket or something else fun.
Why, why draw nudes?
I found myself being envious of the easy, free spirit of some of the nude pattern designs I saw out there, I wanted to be that open and have that much freedom. I was in a place where I found myself only able to draw one type of body, as I wrestle with my own body. So doing this pattern was an exercise in self-acceptance.
And saying that you’re just as valuable and feminine no matter your shape, the colour or state of your skin, your sagginess, your c-section or breast cancer scars, your baby belly, your flat or lush or uneven boobs, your hairy legs, missing limbs or muscularity. (This is _not_ an exhaustive list!) Let’s find joy in all our bodies.
