In today’s Moleskine sketchbook spread, I decided to have some fun illustrating women in all different shapes and sizes. Each of the illustrations below was drawn freehand with colored pencil. I then added touches of watercolor paint. For obvious reasons, I’m calling this illustration Body Types – An Illustrated Guide. You might just find your body type below. Me? Depending on my mood (and my forever fluctuating hormones!), I think I’ve had days where I feel like each and every one of the types below.
