Artist Creates Honest Illustrations Showing What Women Do When No One Is Watching
6.6Mviews
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.
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.
It's not waste, it's called breakfast once she wakes up, duh!

"my goal with each drawing is to elevate the seemingly mundane to something special.” Bad luck. Everything still looks painfully mundane.
Where is the dog? That plate should have been licked sparkling clean moments after being put on the floor.
Isn't this just "things people do sometimes, sometimes while alone, sometimes in company" just pictures of the mundane and I do not understand how the activities pictured are exclusive to women?
It's never implied that they are exclusive to women. And if you read the artist's description of the series, it's more like things most women wouldn't show on social media.

I'm currently laying in my bed and flipping through stuff on Facebook on my phone while eating Cheetos. Most of us are always on our phone and hardly reading books .
So baisally women do nothing but eat and watch movies in a variety of places and ways when no one is looking. Cute drawings and everything, just kind of a sad commentary on women. After the first 10 I would have liked to see some of the more novel aspects of what women do in thier downtime...
Why are all of these woman's thighs so large? It's distracts me far too much to enjoy these. Also, BUY SOME DAMN BRAS :)
Because thighs are generally larger than the rest of the leg

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!
