Hi! My name is Amarylis, I'm an illustrator from Luxembourg and the creator of The Cute Feminist. Since the beginning of 2021, I try to post one illustration a day on my Instagram account in order to empower women one drawing at a time.

I began drawing these illustrations while recovering from burnout as a form of therapy, and my work quickly became viral.

Here is a selection of my latest work!

One of the best things my boss has said to me is "I believe you have it in you what it takes to be a leader." But then a few days ago he [jokingly] said he's retracting that since I told him I'm leaving for a better job.

I mostly get my inspiration from the news, my daily life or when I'm in nature. When I see or hear a quote I like, I write it down in a small notepad I take with me everywhere. I also try to come up with my own quotes or recreate some quotes in my own words. The most important is that the quote or affirmation I choose needs to be meaningful for me.

Give me a minute; I’m trying to think of an insult that’s dumb enough for you to understand!(I’m not saying you’re ugly, but you’re the reason God created miscarriages!) I know it looks like I’m listening to you, but really I’m just visualizing duck tape over your mouth!(an X men Origins reference!?

    I find it freaky that a lot of adults start saying that *kids* are dressing provocatively. Honestly, if you find a 10 year old wearing shorts and a tank top sexy, it tells me much more about you than the kid.

    Boys have to cover up too. Most schools have a shirt and trousers policy for boys and some even include a blazer. It's not a one-way street. Go ahead and downvote me, but it's true.

    Of course, and that dress code sucks for boys, but males often don’t have to deal with the same issues as women do. I was sent home for wearing a plain black spaghetti-strap tank top once and being slender with breasts while a male student in my class was wearing a “wife-beater” tank top that literally said in Comic Sans “wife-beater” on the front of it. He wasn’t sent home because he didn’t have visible bra-straps on his shoulders like me (literally just extra straps of black fabric on my shoulder tops) which was much more offensive and disgusting of course. The students must be protected from any and all possible even hints of breasts, it may turn them into life long criminals. Language that makes domestic abuse sound like a normal thing is totally cool though. This was 2010. (Although I gotta say to those schools that won’t even let boys wear shorts - that’s equally as stupid, no lady is losing her mind over some guy’s calves so bad that she can’t even study, don’t f****n overheat our poor kids because you weird adults project sexual ideas onto them)

    I think we are missing part of the point about self control. It has to be learned. And about halfway through the education process, girls go from being "those other guys who like different stuff", to being: "I am afraid to talk to her", or "looking at her makes my pulse get weird". How popular culture treats kids messes with all of them in both directions, and puberty doesn't help.

    That is not why girls cover their bodies. They do it because they don’t trust boys to behave as they should. Of course, this isn’t the way things should be, but girls have to take care of themselves. No one else will.

    All illustrations I create have a special place in my heart as they all come from my soul. Some have been created when I was feeling sad, some when I was in a very happy state, but every time with one thing in mind; the fact that with my illustrations I hope to help and empower as many women as possible.

    The quotes I choose for each illustration are always meaningful for me, but can sometimes be more powerful from time to time depending on my mood or the time of the year, so I tend to have favorite illustrations that change over time.

    I need to remember this one!!!

    ADVERTISEMENT

    I like to create my work in several steps as I work best when I'm in a certain mood and I tend to get art block quite easily. When my creativity is at its highest, I create a lot of different sketches without thinking of a quote in particular. Then in the second phase, I apply the final details and the colors of each illustration. Finally, when I'm not in the mood for drawing, I find a matching quote for each illustration.

    With that being said, I always create my illustrations with the same color palette. My color palette is very girly, with different pinks and some touches of blue and yellows. I've had the same color palette for 2 years now but I'm now considering changing it as I am now more attracted to neutral colors. I will see how it will evolve in the following months. In terms of design, I like to stay minimalist and incorporate either women or day-to-day objects in my illustrations. I also love to add some touches of nature and plants from time to time.

    Judy, if I loved you to death (which I do my fellow panda 🧡) tonight I’d run you a steamy hot bubble bath with all sorts of fancy essential oils and scented skin-softening elixirs, some scented candles, a cup of your favourite beverage and an awesome movie to watch while you relax. I’d make you a homemade face mask out of honey or oats or cucumber or whatever I could find in the fridge. I’d even make you some snacks on a fancy tray, like berries and cream cheese icing, or homemade potato wedges with spicy ketchup. I’d fold your most luxurious fuzzy PJs off to the side for you, give you the buggiest fluffiest towel in the house, and buy you a new pair of slippers just for the occasion. I’d light 20 candles in the bathroom and turn off all the lights so you have a magical-feeling bath. I would literally get high off of making an amazing bath experience for you. So why can’t I do that for myself without feeling like it’s a waste of time? 🤔

    My biggest wish is to empower as many people as possible with my work. But if even one single person can be positively impacted by my illustrations, then that already means a lot to me. I am feeling so blessed and grateful every time I get a message from someone telling me that my illustrations have inspired them or helped them during a though situation, and I hope my art will continue to make a positive impact for a long time.

    Don't worry too much about not becoming a teacher. It's stressful as heck and is much less about teaching as it is classroom management, preparing for state testing, lack of resources and support, and a failing education system that really doesn't give a c**p what is best for students and teachers alike.

    With my illustrations, I hope to teach women that they have the power to do anything they want, and that they can chose how they want to live their own life.

    For me feminism is not about being better than men. It's about having the choice to live your life as you want to. You can be a housewife or a CEO, and in both cases be a feminist.

    It's also important for me to tell women, especially young girls, that being different is not a bad thing, in fact being different can be very powerful. My greatest gift is when I get people to embrace their singularities and differences through my illustrations.

    I think you could make use of them. You know the old story about when the sculptor was asked how he created such a magnificent statue of an elephant from a block of marble. He replied, “I just chiseled away any pieces that didn’t look like an elephant.” You could do the same. Start fresh and carve out a future you by removing all the worn out thoughts from the past.

    Let's rephrase this... When you get stuck in fear, doubt, or depression, visualize what life will be like on the other side of this setback. Becuase as long as you live, there will always be another day, and for best, worst, and irrelevant in equal measure, no situation can sustain itself indefinately. Life one year from now will be very different from how life is today.

    As someone with both depression and anxiety, this one can be tough. Some days are rough... but that's what drugs are for. (Meds I mean)

    I live this too. Right now, the meds aren’t working very well. We have nothing else to switch to. Ever. It’s up to me. Some days, what little there is of me.

    On the other hand, telling someone - saying it out loud - can be similar to a committment. Once spoken, we're far less likely to renege.

    I find much of the fashion industry is misled about what men find attractive. We are not all as shallow as the marketing and sales experts seem to think. Personally, a woman that plays computer games maxxes out on the attractive scale.

    Confidence is belief, not exactly the counter to fear. Bravery is accepting fear, and finding inside yourself the will to continue moving forward through it. Once past acceptance, overcoming fear occurs as you continue to act, and this is how you gain confidence.
