#ever since i opened my heart to nonjudgmental observation for the sake of art ive found myself in awe of the beauty in this world

[w0rm-3nthus14st]

the more i draw, the more appreciation i get for just how beautiful humans are. just in general, like, different body types and facial features and everything, even small details like how a wrist bends or how the neck arches

and it makes me realize even more how shitty beauty standards are. sure, theres the commodification of people and the commercially, systemically reinforced self-hatred. but also like…

why would you ever want to limit the scope of whats beautiful? like, if you were able to choose to see more things as beautiful, why wouldnt you do that? pay attention to how fat folds into itself, how different skin colors reflect light, how nose bridges cut space into different angles, the sharp angles from bones and the blunt contours of muscle

like, isnt it all art? arent people art?
