So my friend who wanted to become a Suicide Girl has apparently changed her mind. After a few days of back-and-forth on coming up with ideas and stuff, she texted me yesterday out of the blue saying she didn't want to try to be one anymore. When I asked her why, she said that it's because she's "an ugly little shit. No one would want to see my mug."
This is not true. I should know, I dated her once before and did a shoot with her in January that I've been using for my art. I was kind of, er, flabbergasted when she said that.
I asked her what brought this on, and she said nothing, that she just feels ugly. I told her she has no reason to, and not to be like that. I mean, if she doesn't want to be a Suicide Girl, that's cool, nothing wrong with that, but I hate that she has such a poor opinion of her body. I mean, I guess like most girls she's always had issues with how she looks, but I just wish I could shake her and snap her out of it, get her to realize that she's actually pretty damn gorgeous.
I just, um, don't know how. And that's kind of frustrating.
Anyways, here's the cover to the third chapter of Other Sleep. I used her as the model for this:
And here's my favorite piece I've done with her:
I dunno. Maybe she'll come around. I just wish I knew something I could say or do to help.

I can completely sympathize with her current negative self imagine, I think all girls go through it sometimes, and I really really hope that she realizes soon that being beautiful is all about how you feel inside. If you feel it and believe it then everyone will see it. Also your drawings prove that she has a lot more going for her than she currently believes.

Aww that sucks. Some girl's just have it engrained in them. I grew up being told I was ugly/weird looking/awkward but it shaped me into who I am. Sometimes people let te negatives own them. Here's hoping your friend can find the positive in herself
