I was looking through one of my sister's teen magazines

and I came across an ad with a curvy, voluptuous woman draped

in red. I was amazed to see a woman who was not stick thin in a magazine

She was classically beautiful, not in such a way as to following a trend.

I decided to draw the model, to make the image more personal to me.

What we learn from this: Beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, colors,

and in different and unique ways.
