Your concept is well thought and executed. You've done a marvelous job of capturing the definition in your drawing. I'm going to point out the obvious, though. I would suggest not using lined paper in the future for your drawings.
Her position exudes the idea of insecurity and in her form, I can only see one fault: her arm and hand positions. According to her shoulders and placement of her upper arms, her hands should both be around her waist, but her left hand is on her right shoulder. I would suggest to keep an eye on that in the future as it really screws with natural anatomy.
You have a wonderful deviation here with a really strong message. Well done.

I'm not sure what to say. I really like this. I'm guessing this is a collage? Reminds me of the Babadook.

Yea... it is a very common fear for people in general- if you ever have any serious problems, don't forget there are so many people out there who accept you just the way you are, no matter haw many flaws you may have!

I knew a few people who have this. Its a horrible phobia, to always feel like whatever you do, however you look, that none of it is ever good enough.

I'm a new projet-comment member, I was looking at new submissions, and I immediately was appealed to your drawing even if it is a draft. First of all, I'm a lexicographer

Thank you! Your perceptions where spot on- I might consider redrawing this in the future, but I wanted people to be able to see the reflection and not know exactly what it is- but instead percieve their own insicurites. Some people might see a eating disorder, others might see threatening nightmarish figures. Either way, I wanted people to see something. Thank you for the feedback- and welcome to ProjectComment!!!

You are probably right about wanting the reflection to stay fuzzy and opened to interpretation, maybe people will see their own fear.
And it is also ok to post draft. Who has the time to redraw every sketches ?

I'm just not sure how you meant it. It's a very....open to interpritation comment

Oh okay. Haha. What I was thinking was that women are more likely to suffer from Atelophobia- especially due to social standards. Corsets make women 'look thinner'. So women would wear them all them despite the fact that they hurt, could cause internal organ damage, injure fetuses, or cause breathing problems. There are women who still do wear corsets all the time. /shrug

Oh ok yea- sorry XD I just didn't know what you meant. That is exactly why I did that. Thank you!

I think he was trying to say, corsets are cool! And it shows her figure as being slender in contrast to how she sees herself in the mirror.

Aw...man...XD so much proof of him, so many experiences I've had.
my best friend was an atheist, she had depression, wouldn't even eat, but when she became a Christian, she was transformed!

That is wonderful! I'm glad your friend was helped- but for me and many others, there is a respectful lack of faith in things like god or religion. Don't get me wrong, this is not an attack on your faith, I'm sure it's wonderful to believe in something.

I'm glad you aren't going "ALL NONBELIEVERS GO TO HELL" on my butt (that's hapened before)
And I appriciate the sentiment, but I don't think I will.

Well, that's why jesus died on the cross for us, we (even Christians) would never be good enough to get to heaven
