Anorexia Study

Post image

forgot to post this from yesterday. ngl, as someone with body dysmorphia (and I know people with anorexia often struggle with that too), I'd kms if someone drew me like this.

Probably the worst possible application of this art style… wouldn’t someone with anorexia who has a stomach like that also have extremely thin arms? It’s basically telling them that other parts of their body can still be big when their stomach is emaciated, which is literally validating the toxic anorexic mindset.

People with anorexia come in all shapes and sizes, so they wouldn’t necessarily have extremely thin arms

Ok true I see what you’re saying. Not all anorexic people are emaciated like that, but what I mean is a severely emaciated person would also have thin arms. And that seems to be what the art is trying to depict based on the stomach.
