I made this with acrylic paint markers from Walmart, it’s my first attempt using them :)

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
I really like this art piece. The way I’m interpreting it is the subject (who is fucking beautiful by the way) is seeing all these oversexualized, idealized body shapes and comparing herself to them and telling herself she’s not pretty cause she can’t live up to those idealized shapes. And she’s focused in on all these “hot spots” instead of appreciating the beauty of a whole body put together. I also notice that there is the face of a man looking at all of those idealized shapes. I love the way you’ve drawn the woman on the right, the colors are beautiful and there is lots of whimsy.
Thank you so much! I love your analysis, it’s bang on. And the man, along with some eyes in the bottom left, are focused on the “ideal” pieces of women to highlight how the subject feels invisible and inadequate when all those ‘perfect’ pieces are available. Thank you for the praise, it is very encouraging!
