In April 2015, Little Rock Illustrator Sally Nixon started an art project called "365" in which she had to create one illustration per day for a whole year. As it was not that easy to think of new drawing ideas so frequently, Sally started to search for inspiration in her own life and simple routine moments that she's going through. The artist wanted to show the natural side of real women besides staged Instagram selfies, Snapchat filters, and all the other forms of social media that rule our world.
The women of Nixon's beautiful drawings are captured doing their casual everyday life things like taking a shower, eating in bed, brushing their teeth, walking around the house without pants, and having lazy TV time with their friends. In other words - women when nobody's watching.
"They don’t have perfect bodies or perfect habits and that makes them relatable,” she explains to TL Andrews. “The scenes I create around them are everyday places: a bathroom, a restaurant, a messy bedroom. However, my goal with each drawing is to elevate the seemingly mundane girl problems to something special.”

I've heard of people doing this, but I have never done it. I brush before bed and in the morning... fully clothed.
I brush while my conditioner is doing its thing.

I brush my teeth in the shower at night, before going to bed. I thought I was alone!
My house is really old, and we had a window in the shower. We just put an adhesive film on it to keep anyone from being able to see in.
I do sometimes. I feel like I get a better toothpaste lather because I'm not worried about getting toothpaste on my clothes. And it saves time. Also, I've seen lots of windows in showers. Usually old homes.
It's for ventilation. To keep air in and avoid mold build up.

I brush my teeth in the shower.. :) someting refreshing about being entirely clean..:)
I always brush my teeth in the shower. Nothing to do about what I do when nobody is watchin...
I do the same 😂 and I'm so pissed off when i forget and then I have to spend more time to complete the cleaning session
I always brush my teeth in the shower. Put conditioner in your hair, shave your legs and brush your teeth. Done.
My shower is uncomplete without brushing. It just feel.like something is missing🤗
I used to until we had to start water restrictions . Now I brush over the basin without leaving the tap running .I'm in Melbourne Australia
I brush my teeth while waiting for the water to get warm enough to take a shower. It seriously takes forever.
I brush my teeth in the shower and it is such a time saver. My conditioner, conditions; hot water, soothes and there is no messy clean-up.
I always brush my teeth in the shower in the morning. I got it from father used to do it too. Someone once told me men who had been to jail do...my father went to jail when he was young. Strange things indeed
I do this too! Saves time. You can do it while waiting for shampoo/conditioner soaks in.
Lol, that's me, including the burns. Brushing in the shower is the best invention after kids ;)
Brushing your teeth with hot water must be experienced to be believed...so exhilarating!!!
I do this at night to knock out 2 jobs at the same time. Also it's an excuse to stay in the shower for a couple more minutes
I've seen weirder things - like brushing teeth away from bathroom or any other sink. I never get it.
I don't get BP sometimes! I was just reading another list on here and the oversensitive censors blacked out a nipple of a cartoon woman AND the nipple on the PAINTING of the cartoon woman. Now here, there's a cartoon woman showing nipples and bush and there's nothing. I mean, this one is obviously the way it should be, because they are cartoons ffs! But just be sensible and not so Orwellian over a cartoon nipple! Free the Nip and the Bush! Or...just keep treating you readers like we're in Kindergarten and see where that gets your subscriber numbers. I like BP. It gives me many a chuckle in my days, but please. Use your Commonsense. Dibida-Dibida-Dibida a-that's all folks
almost everyday!! started as a teen when the bathroom at school was so blooming cold in winter!
I've only done it once at my friends house cuz I thought I was so cool doing what she does. But um, I was so grossed out at spitting it out on the shower floor so I held it till the end of the shower. It was bad
Yeah I'm not trying to say anything bad.. but never done this. Interesting
That is a poor place to put a window. It's going to condense and grow mold. Unless you take cold showers. WIM HOF METHOD!!! If you start doing this practice, how much healthier you get will shock you.
This is super adorable, even if it is really weird. Who are these odd shower brushers?
so much water wasting (if it is not freezing cold so it's the only way to stay without clothes)
I don't know anyone, female or male, who brushes their teeth in the shower. No.
I don't kniw anyone, female or male, eho brushes their teeth in the shower. No.
IF that's how women look when they meet up to spend time together, then me and my friends are weird - we laugh, enjoy ourself and definately don't wear a "This is such a waste of my time" or "Honestly I will kill you, or myself in a moment" expressions.
Why all the girly books? I'd usually be reading Stephen King (my favorite!) and eating junk food when no one was watching.
This would never happen b/c 1. as a fat kid, i never waste food, this is crazy to me. 2. if i put my plate on the floor, the cats would be all over it. 3. i'm never to tired to not eat.
The title States what woman do when no one is watching, not what woman don't want anyone to see them do.
I do this. I am always kneeling in the library. Pretty much all the books i get out are on the bottom shelf
I live in Maine. We'd eat ice cream only 2 months a year if we waited for hot weather.
briught home chicken eating cookies and cocoa. dessert first 😆
Yes, and that nail polish feels weird, tastes nasty, and peels off against your teeth. Bleah!
Oh really your just gonna leave the wine seeping into the carpet...
My legs not smushed together? Me. It's hard for me to keep my legs together since my thighs are too big.
Food took too long... eating or sleeping or being naked is the apparent theme here!
People commenting on this are so s****y. They're just lovely little drawings showing normal women in regular life. They're not meant to be "exciting" or provocative. Just showing regular life. I loved the series. And I brush my teeth in the shower.
The "s****y" comments aren't all that abundant. I looked at them all. A few people had oddly specific complaints and some didn't like the conflation of title to every image's subject. Some people loved them and some didn't. I don't see the outrageous reaction you're referencing.

If I understand correctly, this was the purpose of the series: to show the "normality" of life. Although I agree, "Nothing spectacular to see here" would fit either. Moreover, most pictures depict a rather similar type of women. What I think lacks is arduousness, curiosity, and many other positive aspirations that may well be as normal as the wish to hand out on the couch.

I'ma grown up woman, and honestly, I don't run around, sit around, lay around my home naked or half nude when I'm alone. I don't like the overal image of "normal woman" that comes from this series. With each picture my distaste kept growing. Not only those aren't anything special art-wise, but the way they portrait and ordinary woman's life I find untruthful.
But she does. Do you mean you don't like how she acts and looks when she's not going out? Or do you mean you are and look different when you don't go out and all made up? I think what she means to portray is that women don't always look how they look on social media since they are almost always all dressed up nice/perfectly, perfect make up. Special pose, 300 instagram filters. And she just portrays her interpertation of how she and her friends look when they don't go out. As far as your distate and. Art is subjective. I gues you should have stopped looking after 2 pictures then. XD Art is special for the one who made it and for the ones who appreciate their art so I don't really get your comment about it's not special art-wise. Art is also not always just about the visual aspect. Sometimes it's about the story behind it and the presentation is just a vessel for it. And something it's a combination.

These are truly amazing. I enjoyed each and one of them! Love your work!
This is lovely, but this is exactly what ALL people do, not only women, and only when nobody is watching.
Things women do when noone is looking: Take a bath Sit on couch/chair Lie on couch/in bed Eat/drink Wear clothes Not wear clothes Open purse I get this is supposed to be a "slice of life" but yeez, this is just...boring, because, you know, everybody does these things! Apart from a few, it's just...a picture...with nothing happening...
So the artist take on us women is all we do is eat, read, drink wine, sit around with our tit's out, sleep, and wear horrible cloths....Ummmm NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's how it was 10-15 years or more ago.. had they been recent, every pic would have had a smart phone in it and a woman staring at it.. :)

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. I'm not eating all the time and I never eat in the bathtub. Who are these based on? Not the women I know. I just lost 5 min of my life that I can't get back.
Because if one girl has breast it will trigger the others who do not have, so is better to none of them have it. That is the logic here.

Awww, moderately disappointed there isn't one of a women in her undies/pajamas playing video games, cause that's what I did most of the day. But cute series, I know quite a lot of women that do these things.
Boring and also kind of sexist: women AND men would do exactly all thay stuff. What about the scene with the girls watching a movie? None is looking except the 6 girls in the room? Not interesting at all.
how is this getting so many negative comments? I love these! Intimate, humane slices of life. And I find the artist's style really beautiful:)
People need to something to complain and be upset about apparently. It must be so sad to be so negative all the time!

Are you trying to say women are ALWAYS eating .. because thats the only thing i see in these drawings ... at a time were women are very conscious/insecure about their bodies ..really? I mean you can show that women do eat but why not show a woman on the mirror looking at her body and not make women eating all the time they are alone the main focus !
Most of these many women regularly do when people are watching. But they are lovely drawings.
I enjoyed it. If you didn't that's fine too. No need to spread negativity.
I love them all. 1 and 3 are my favorites. Fun. Very engaging despite the "normal" scenes.
What kind I of mom gets to go to the bathroom without anyone watching? I'm JELLY!
The artist is clearly skilled, and I find the style to be very charming. There is no "normal" woman. Frankly, there is no "normal". The content is pretty banal, although I get that was the point.Why are all these women so miserable looking? I mean, we don't always have to smile, but generally when I'm eating pizza on the sofa with friends, I don't look like someone just informed me my family was killed in a freak combine accident.
It's such an annoying trend for men to tell women to smile all the time, I suspect these drawings are a reaction to that somewhat. But I'm not the artist, so wtf do I know?

Maybe I live some unknown life because when people aren't looking I am not laying around sleeping eating or being naked. I'm still working my a*s off trying to keep things running for my family.Where are the ones of women doing the family's laundry, cooking dinner, getting up early and making breakfast before kids go to school? Getting herself ready for work after making sure everyone else has what they need? Nobody's looking when I'm doing those things. This may be the norm for some women or people and I guess you have to be in their shoes to relate...
I think the main point here, beyond the lovely artistic expressions, is that these are glimpses of what people do when they're alone. All people. Men and women. Because we're all the same.
People apparently love being negative, judgmental and pukes.
The photo of the lady eating cake in the bathtub made me chuckle. It was my favorite of the series.
Not all of us have a non Hanah Horvath body type...and we appreciate body hygiene even if noone is looking...
Somewhat 'beige'...and what's up with the saggy little breasts, the sunburns, the scraped knees, and the 'eating of junk food in the nude' depictions?
How does the artist know that ONLY women do these things? what about men?
I don't think she said it was only women. I also don't think the title of the article/series was written by the artist.

All the girls looks cold, lonely and depressed. Why is this called an "honest" portrayal of women, standing around nude with tiny hanging breasts? Comments are stupid...."Oh this is SO me..."
These are wonderful and I'd buy prints I few of them, I like them that much. It's amusing that a few people just didn't get that what women do when no one else is looking is pretty much nothing out of the ordinary, like men they just "be". It's just an amusing bunch of illustrations aimed at the few men who think that we get up to all sorts of "sexy" stuff.
screw the hate comments, I loved these. Not trying to be anything they're not, just being. Beautiful.
I loved them. This is the representation of what it is like to be truly alive. Sometimes there is excitement but the best times are relaxing and mundane. I found the project inspirational.
I hope those aren't true representations of her titties. Poor thing.
Poor thing. I hope those aren't a true representation of her titties.
I do most of these ..i have false teeth so I soak them then brush them ..lol..i think if everyone is honest with themselves we can all get a laugh from this ART instead if making fun of them just saying..ty for sharing your ART we all should try it it's awesome therapy for mental well being
So all we do (in this artist's eyes)is eat, watch tv, sleep, and read?
The problem here is how the website promoted the series. Caption is trying to clickbait, while artist depicted just a regular life...So women sit in a toilet when nobody's watching? Surprise, surprise, most of people do the same while nobody's watching... You know...BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY LIKE being watched while s******g, or watch some else doing that. And oh my god, they eat pizza (with friends) while nobody's watching? That doesn't even make sense... So there's nothing wrong with those works or the author, it's just how Boredpanda gave this to us
So many pictures of her naked?? Do men really think women do this? I sure don't and do not know anyone who does. When alone it's to catch up on chores, or sleep. Run errands. This series are just pictures in someone's mind. Who wishes for confirmatiom that this is what women do when they're alsne.
I think this is amazing. I love the artwork. I love the laid back atmosphere of it. Well done.
Interesting pics.. I presume they were made 10-15 years ago, as none have a smart phone in them.. Some of them I find truthful, even the ones where a woman is naked (if you haven't done it, you should try, it's liberating). What I do not understand is why the artist painted few of them at home but with their coats on...??
and the comments are a great example that no matter what you post or show on the internet, there is always gong to be those who fricken complain because they have nothing better to do than to B***H about someth8ing as honest as photos .... for those who complain about these photos - grow up!
Cute drawings I agree. I think she must want to walk around naked and eat her way through like. The only one I related to was brushing my teeth in the shower 😂 saves a little time lol.
So very cute drawings but when I'm alone, or people are not watching Im definately not eating all da time like some of these drawings suggest. I'm doing other stuff that obviously I'm not gonna say because thats what i do when no one is watching lol😀😈
Ok so we basically just sit around (preferably naked) and eat. Good to know. And oh, never smile.
I think they are def interrsting, but who eats cake in the bathtub? And if you do, I'm curious as to why?
so a woman only wants to eat ..with underwear?no ..im sorry you have no idea ...
Not the art I like however they are full of detail only thing why are they mostly eating in the pics is that a common thing women eating when they think no one is looking or am I looking too deep any way like them or not they have got people discussing them . Art in my opinion invokes different reactions from everyone who views it ..
No cat people represented? For shame... Lovely style though.
I liked the actual art style, but there is so much feminism propaganda in this.
If the women are doing what they want to do, with nobody looking, why don't they look happier?
Everyone looks angry. I guess that's normal in today's society.
I loved these....I think many would make a great greeting card collection.
Of course most women are eating like it's a secret. What's honoring is that these little pictures of women are naked while eating. Speaking as a women, I can't say that I say to myself "Hey, I've decided to be naked while eating a piece of cake" Perhaps the minds of men who wish women did stupid s**t like that. I'd love to draw my depictions of what men do in private. I guarantee that it would be extremely more amusing.
I sort of expected some grooming images. It can't be just me. And I get the feeling her apartment is really cold. Lovely little slices of life, though.
I think that these images are at least a little wrong. I do not think that spending from the stereotype of the ordered prissy woman and great cook, the woman stereotype depressed, that does nothing but gorge themselves (each image has the food !!), drinking and living in the casino is just that good. I admit that I developed some images are easily found, but then I do not think it's all at face value.
I miss a masturbatory scene, something that they do enough bacuando do not look at them.
They made me smile because I can honestly relate to most which was the point of the subject no?
i think the artist caught a very important part of life, that life is not like TV make believe, where drop dead gorgeous people live daily exciting lives
A lot of them seem to be centered around eating or sleeping. And reading. Interesting slant.
So I'm not the only one who likes to sleep, eat, and gets cold all of the time naked?
I loved it I thought it was very strong and such a positive shows of a slight sadness and some what's an abundance of joy for what's to come i lwould love to met the artist I feel I love right away
"Artist Creates Honest Illustrations Showing What Women Do When No One Is Watching" - So most of these consist of women eating fast food? I don't get it. Is this something we hide? These are all normal things. Art should mean something, should put out a message- this is normal day to day life. Whats the point?
Because they are unhappy, this is a world without man, the evil patriarchy is gone, so what they do to celebrate their liberation? They eat and sleep, they appear quite depressed, so they prove the point that feminism promotes women unhappiness. Ergo. It is a completely lack of self awareness if you just don't realise that, it is actually so obvious.

Not one pic of relacing in a bubble bath with a glass of wine. High on lot of womens lists Im sure. Just a lot of fast food. When in reality most women want to get home get theìr shoes and bra off , slip into comfy clothing and watch tv.
Ive enjoyed looking through these and can relate to some whilst watching our teenagers. Duvet days or pj days are a way of winding down and really saying I'm not on call today. Yes I laughed at some particularly snuggled up with the dog. Love your style, but please don't do a range with the boys lol.
I thought my life was dull. All the drawings I've seen here shows the lives of woman are pretty much the same as those led by men. I should know as I myself go through life doing the exact same things
I loooooooved them all! As an artist myself I understand the drawings. It's the artist's own perception. Why are people being negative!? The artist is just illustrating her own experiences as she should. We are all different. To Sally, keep creating! ;) I love your style <3 it's a bit like mine but different of course we re all different in our styles. You can check mine out at chelledestefano.com
some of the comments made are what makes this article interesting and funny!
I love these little snap shot drawings. I want to see more from this artist.
LOL most of those things u don't care if someone watching. Hell it's though. Women wear more hats than any man unless he is a single dad.
Get a grip. Its arty and fun. For crying out loud its simple....if you dont like it dont look at it. Go and bore someone else!!!!
Isn't this just things "people do, sometimes while others are watching" I don't understand the focus on soley women...
Am I the only one who prefers pj's to walking around in underwear?
My only complaint is with how the article creator reframed the artist's work. If the article author had used only the artist's own words to describe the content here, there would be far fewer complaints in the comments. This is on you, Bored Panda.
Do you have to comment on EVERYTHING? Your just as bad as the complainers on here.

What's interesting are the comments ~ that people are so judgemental ~ I reckon if it was drawings of men slobbing about in their underwear eating pizza and crisps it would be 'no news' not a story, and people would be 'yeh whatever' but if it's women then people seem to feel quite free to judge and criticise..... it' our culture i guess 'everyone's a critic' ~
If it was men being slobs I would be commenting similarly: "No, that's not how I am!" The real problem with these is the description of being an illustration of women's unseen lives. It presumes too much for too many people.

What was the point of this? Regardless of gender, we are all different "when no one's watching." That's what's so great about being comfortable at home and not having to play a role.
The artist might feel constrained by gender roles in her culture.

Those are expected and public roles and activities for women, and are therefore explicitly left out of these illustrations.

First, I kinda dislike this one due to the title. "Honest Illustrations Showing What Women Do When No One Is Watching". It felt somehow misled since mostly these illustrates are just showing normal life for basically everyone 😂 Then I read the caption, "The artist wanted to show the natural side of women besides staged Instagram selfies, Snapchat filters, and all the other forms of social media that rule our world". I mean, wow, that's really nice using of metaphor 👏
I feel like this person lives in NY. If you live in NY your life should be more exciting than that, otherwise you just don't deserve living there.

These pictures made me feel better about myself. My body is. Normal. And I sometimes eat in the bath. I think they are really charming and would loved to hang some around my house. Well done and Thanks to the Artist 💞💟👍
It looks like everything we do involves food....I like the series and would like to see the rest.
So we are supposed to believe that most women eat junk food when no one is looking? I thought playing with ourselves would fall in there somewhere .......
So we are to believe that most women eat junk food when no one is looking?
Really most of these things sucked, it's hardly things women do when no one is looking it's like just what people do in their own time and space. Mundane post really, not worth the time to flick through
To me, these are just what anyone does when Noone is watching. Why try to make women feel like because they do it, it should be a secret.
Looks to me like the artist thinks we are all naked food addicts who do nothing in normal life but eat, sleep, read and are perpetually partially dressed. I do sit in front of the tv more than I should but there is a little more to my alone life than this depicts (I can relate to the dog eating off the spoon though)
Body positive, do not fat shame, does this say something to you? Also dressing in a careless way... This is actually losing its ground and strength, a lot of people is realising that, this is a self defeating thing, the ladies all look depressed and unhappy.

These are great and for me mirror be exactly what I assume what woman must do as they closely resemble what we men do but without the obligatory scratching of the s*****m...
I find it cute. Yeah it's all in all senc. No need to be embarrassed.
I love them, I wish I knew where I could buy prints.... I'd buy the entire collection!
It kinda creeped me out that I was looking at these and doing #11 at that very moment. Down my dog and my afghan my grandmother crocheted for me.
I think it's great the artist didn't make them tooth picks and they are drew like actual human beings

I'm still working my a*s off trying to keep things running for my family.Where are the ones of women doing the family's laundry, cooking dinner, getting up early and making breakfast before kids go to school? Getting herself ready for work after making sure everyone else has what they need? Nobody's looking when I'm doing those things. This may be the norm for some women or people and I guess you have to be in their shoes to relate...
I think the main point here, beyond the lovely artistic expressions, is that these are glimpses of what people do when they're alone. All people. Men and women. Because we're all the same.
People apparently love being negative, judgmental and pukes.
The photo of the lady eating cake in the bathtub made me chuckle. It was my favorite of the series.
Not all of us have a non Hanah Horvath body type...and we appreciate body hygiene even if noone is looking...
Somewhat 'beige'...and what's up with the saggy little breasts, the sunburns, the scraped knees, and the 'eating of junk food in the nude' depictions?
How does the artist know that ONLY women do these things? what about men?
I don't think she said it was only women. I also don't think the title of the article/series was written by the artist.
Load More Replies... All the girls looks cold, lonely and depressed. Why is this called an "honest" portrayal of women, standing around nude with tiny hanging breasts? Comments are stupid...."Oh this is SO me..."
These are wonderful and I'd buy prints I few of them, I like them that much. It's amusing that a few people just didn't get that what women do when no one else is looking is pretty much nothing out of the ordinary, like men they just "be". It's just an amusing bunch of illustrations aimed at the few men who think that we get up to all sorts of "sexy" stuff.
screw the hate comments, I loved these. Not trying to be anything they're not, just being. Beautiful.
I loved them. This is the representation of what it is like to be truly alive. Sometimes there is excitement but the best times are relaxing and mundane. I found the project inspirational.
I hope those aren't true representations of her titties. Poor thing.
Poor thing. I hope those aren't a true representation of her titties.
I do most of these ..i have false teeth so I soak them then brush them ..lol..i think if everyone is honest with themselves we can all get a laugh from this ART instead if making fun of them just saying..ty for sharing your ART we all should try it it's awesome therapy for mental well being
So all we do (in this artist's eyes)is eat, watch tv, sleep, and read?
The problem here is how the website promoted the series. Caption is trying to clickbait, while artist depicted just a regular life...So women sit in a toilet when nobody's watching? Surprise, surprise, most of people do the same while nobody's watching... You know...BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T USUALLY LIKE being watched while s******g, or watch some else doing that. And oh my god, they eat pizza (with friends) while nobody's watching? That doesn't even make sense... So there's nothing wrong with those works or the author, it's just how Boredpanda gave this to us
So many pictures of her naked?? Do men really think women do this? I sure don't and do not know anyone who does. When alone it's to catch up on chores, or sleep. Run errands. This series are just pictures in someone's mind. Who wishes for confirmatiom that this is what women do when they're alsne.
I think this is amazing. I love the artwork. I love the laid back atmosphere of it. Well done.
Interesting pics.. I presume they were made 10-15 years ago, as none have a smart phone in them.. Some of them I find truthful, even the ones where a woman is naked (if you haven't done it, you should try, it's liberating). What I do not understand is why the artist painted few of them at home but with their coats on...??
and the comments are a great example that no matter what you post or show on the internet, there is always gong to be those who fricken complain because they have nothing better to do than to B***H about someth8ing as honest as photos .... for those who complain about these photos - grow up!
Cute drawings I agree. I think she must want to walk around naked and eat her way through like. The only one I related to was brushing my teeth in the shower 😂 saves a little time lol.
So very cute drawings but when I'm alone, or people are not watching Im definately not eating all da time like some of these drawings suggest. I'm doing other stuff that obviously I'm not gonna say because thats what i do when no one is watching lol😀😈
Ok so we basically just sit around (preferably naked) and eat. Good to know. And oh, never smile.
I think they are def interrsting, but who eats cake in the bathtub? And if you do, I'm curious as to why?
so a woman only wants to eat ..with underwear?no ..im sorry you have no idea ...
Not the art I like however they are full of detail only thing why are they mostly eating in the pics is that a common thing women eating when they think no one is looking or am I looking too deep any way like them or not they have got people discussing them . Art in my opinion invokes different reactions from everyone who views it ..
No cat people represented? For shame... Lovely style though.
I liked the actual art style, but there is so much feminism propaganda in this.
If the women are doing what they want to do, with nobody looking, why don't they look happier?
Everyone looks angry. I guess that's normal in today's society.
I loved these....I think many would make a great greeting card collection.
Of course most women are eating like it's a secret. What's honoring is that these little pictures of women are naked while eating. Speaking as a women, I can't say that I say to myself "Hey, I've decided to be naked while eating a piece of cake" Perhaps the minds of men who wish women did stupid s**t like that. I'd love to draw my depictions of what men do in private. I guarantee that it would be extremely more amusing.
I sort of expected some grooming images. It can't be just me. And I get the feeling her apartment is really cold. Lovely little slices of life, though.
I think that these images are at least a little wrong. I do not think that spending from the stereotype of the ordered prissy woman and great cook, the woman stereotype depressed, that does nothing but gorge themselves (each image has the food !!), drinking and living in the casino is just that good. I admit that I developed some images are easily found, but then I do not think it's all at face value.
I miss a masturbatory scene, something that they do enough bacuando do not look at them.
They made me smile because I can honestly relate to most which was the point of the subject no?
i think the artist caught a very important part of life, that life is not like TV make believe, where drop dead gorgeous people live daily exciting lives
A lot of them seem to be centered around eating or sleeping. And reading. Interesting slant.
So I'm not the only one who likes to sleep, eat, and gets cold all of the time naked?
I loved it I thought it was very strong and such a positive shows of a slight sadness and some what's an abundance of joy for what's to come i lwould love to met the artist I feel I love right away
"Artist Creates Honest Illustrations Showing What Women Do When No One Is Watching" - So most of these consist of women eating fast food? I don't get it. Is this something we hide? These are all normal things. Art should mean something, should put out a message- this is normal day to day life. Whats the point?
Because they are unhappy, this is a world without man, the evil patriarchy is gone, so what they do to celebrate their liberation? They eat and sleep, they appear quite depressed, so they prove the point that feminism promotes women unhappiness. Ergo. It is a completely lack of self awareness if you just don't realise that, it is actually so obvious.
Load More Replies... Not one pic of relacing in a bubble bath with a glass of wine. High on lot of womens lists Im sure. Just a lot of fast food. When in reality most women want to get home get theìr shoes and bra off , slip into comfy clothing and watch tv.
Ive enjoyed looking through these and can relate to some whilst watching our teenagers. Duvet days or pj days are a way of winding down and really saying I'm not on call today. Yes I laughed at some particularly snuggled up with the dog. Love your style, but please don't do a range with the boys lol.
I thought my life was dull. All the drawings I've seen here shows the lives of woman are pretty much the same as those led by men. I should know as I myself go through life doing the exact same things
I loooooooved them all! As an artist myself I understand the drawings. It's the artist's own perception. Why are people being negative!? The artist is just illustrating her own experiences as she should. We are all different. To Sally, keep creating! ;) I love your style <3 it's a bit like mine but different of course we re all different in our styles. You can check mine out at chelledestefano.com
some of the comments made are what makes this article interesting and funny!
I love these little snap shot drawings. I want to see more from this artist.
LOL most of those things u don't care if someone watching. Hell it's though. Women wear more hats than any man unless he is a single dad.
Get a grip. Its arty and fun. For crying out loud its simple....if you dont like it dont look at it. Go and bore someone else!!!!
Isn't this just things "people do, sometimes while others are watching" I don't understand the focus on soley women...
Am I the only one who prefers pj's to walking around in underwear?
My only complaint is with how the article creator reframed the artist's work. If the article author had used only the artist's own words to describe the content here, there would be far fewer complaints in the comments. This is on you, Bored Panda.
Do you have to comment on EVERYTHING? Your just as bad as the complainers on here.
Load More Replies... What's interesting are the comments ~ that people are so judgemental ~ I reckon if it was drawings of men slobbing about in their underwear eating pizza and crisps it would be 'no news' not a story, and people would be 'yeh whatever' but if it's women then people seem to feel quite free to judge and criticise..... it' our culture i guess 'everyone's a critic' ~
If it was men being slobs I would be commenting similarly: "No, that's not how I am!" The real problem with these is the description of being an illustration of women's unseen lives. It presumes too much for too many people.
Load More Replies... What was the point of this? Regardless of gender, we are all different "when no one's watching." That's what's so great about being comfortable at home and not having to play a role.
The artist might feel constrained by gender roles in her culture.
Load More Replies... Surprise they didnt show her cleaning or raising kids thers womens that craft and sew, pilots, doctors, lawyers etc...
Those are expected and public roles and activities for women, and are therefore explicitly left out of these illustrations.
Load More Replies... First, I kinda dislike this one due to the title. "Honest Illustrations Showing What Women Do When No One Is Watching". It felt somehow misled since mostly these illustrates are just showing normal life for basically everyone 😂 Then I read the caption, "The artist wanted to show the natural side of women besides staged Instagram selfies, Snapchat filters, and all the other forms of social media that rule our world". I mean, wow, that's really nice using of metaphor 👏
I feel like this person lives in NY. If you live in NY your life should be more exciting than that, otherwise you just don't deserve living there.
NY is a whole state. What's so wonderful about the state that it's entire population should be excited all day?
Load More Replies... I share the bathroom with peeing women. It's no secret. The other thing can be kept private :-D
Load More Replies... This is good. Otherwise the only thing we see in the media are perfectly staged/made up people as it is now. This is real and life too. We should have more of this then people won't feel as guilty when they do this. :)
Wow! Such critical comments! It's freamin ENTERTAINMENT!! Any bitcher here done anything noteworthy themselves? These are awesome. Go back under your rocks whiners.
Wow so many critical comments......it's FREAKING ENTERTAINMENT! They are awesome!
These pictures made me feel better about myself. My body is. Normal. And I sometimes eat in the bath. I think they are really charming and would loved to hang some around my house. Well done and Thanks to the Artist 💞💟👍
It looks like everything we do involves food....I like the series and would like to see the rest.
So we are supposed to believe that most women eat junk food when no one is looking? I thought playing with ourselves would fall in there somewhere .......
So we are to believe that most women eat junk food when no one is looking?
Really most of these things sucked, it's hardly things women do when no one is looking it's like just what people do in their own time and space. Mundane post really, not worth the time to flick through
To me, these are just what anyone does when Noone is watching. Why try to make women feel like because they do it, it should be a secret.
Looks to me like the artist thinks we are all naked food addicts who do nothing in normal life but eat, sleep, read and are perpetually partially dressed. I do sit in front of the tv more than I should but there is a little more to my alone life than this depicts (I can relate to the dog eating off the spoon though)
Body positive, do not fat shame, does this say something to you? Also dressing in a careless way... This is actually losing its ground and strength, a lot of people is realising that, this is a self defeating thing, the ladies all look depressed and unhappy.
Load More Replies... I really enjoyed this series of paintings, it was sort of comforting and calming....thanks :)
This girl has talent off the charts. Her eye for composition is astounding. Great mood and theme in every piece.
She likes to be topless... like me. But i always do that in my room. #freethenipple!
These are great and for me mirror be exactly what I assume what woman must do as they closely resemble what we men do but without the obligatory scratching of the s*****m...
I find it cute. Yeah it's all in all senc. No need to be embarrassed.
I love them, I wish I knew where I could buy prints.... I'd buy the entire collection!
It kinda creeped me out that I was looking at these and doing #11 at that very moment. Down my dog and my afghan my grandmother crocheted for me.
I think it's great the artist didn't make them tooth picks and they are drew like actual human beings
You do realize that thin women exist, right? There are real, actual thin human beings in the real world.
Load More Replies... Everyone saying no, not me. LOL. You've never sat on the edge of the best while putting your close on and just thought WTF? If you say any of these aren't normal, you're lying to yourselves and the world.
Everyone is a little different. Normal is usually subjective and defined by the majority.
Load More Replies... No one smiles 24/7, even if social media implies it and men ask for it.
Load More Replies... You could've stopped after two minutes. There's nothing in these that suggests depression to me. Why must people appear overtly happy just to appease your unsubtle visual needs? http://theoatmeal.com/comics/unhappy
