Sad old ladies shopping series (3/3). Unknowingly they defy selfie culture and body dysmorphia. The elderly are great, let’s draw them more. Seniors deserve more likes.
Just a little side project between all my drawing before gaypride breaks loose here, during which I’m doing a project with an Amsterdam museum + doing two exhibits.
I have decided I only want to draw little old ladies from now on. I find their postures very interesting, endearing and heartbreaking. The following drawings are by themselves three reasons why they are much more compelling to draw than stick-figure cover models.

I can't seem to find any space "above this line" in which to respond. So I will attempt it this way..love your posts! I am surgically boobless as well and have been since my double mastectomy mistakenly done back in 1983. I realized about 20 years later it had been mistake. I had thought that having them removed would make me look more; not so; I only looked like a flat-chested female. It wasn't until 2017 that I learned I was intersex from conception and did not produce enough testosterone to masculinize me and while I did produce some estrogen, I only got those damned breasts. Today after 23 years of testosterone HRT I look male…bald. beard, and a very low bass voice. Thanks for the amusement. Lloyd
Thank you – here you actually already posted a comment about that last year, remember this?:
