I decided to dive in a bit deeper with interviewing different women and their body shapes so asked friends and family if I could take photos of them and their body shape and also ask about how they felt in their bodies. (I felt it would be inappropriate to put them all here on the internet seeing as the subjects are wearing rather minimal clothing for me to get ideas of their bodies for character designs. Therefore they'll be staying in my sketchbook).
Most of them admitted to feeling unhealthy, saw that being in a relationship could be helpful for confidence in their bodies and all of them admitted to having something they hated about their body.
I liked that this part of my project allowed me to understand what someone feels about their body, face to face, hearing from them just between the two of us. Because of this, most of the answers were quite different from one another because of their personal meanings behind them.
Although I felt I had asked them the right questions, I feel like I could have asked them in a way which would not get such closed answers in return. Maybe I could have let them elaborate more. Next time, I'll keep this in mind. I feel like the group interview was better as it went on more and let out more personal issues to learn about.
