interesting style you got there. Keep it up.

whoa this is a really solid sketchbook. and sorry i havent posted here before iv been busy awesome work keep it up and I cant wait to see some finished work.

interesting style you got there. Keep it up.

Thanks you guys! I think I'm gonna hold off on responding with a picture to all the comments, it's tough to do while keeping the quality good enough, and sometimes I refrain from posting since I don't have those done yet.. (╥_╥)

Things are getting a lot better with my drawing, and I'm getting a lot more consistent. I'm in a pretty good spot I feel, but it still isn't good enough yet. I'm jealous of how fast my friends are drawing, and the sheer amount of drawings they produce. Not to mention how fantastically it helps their skills. I think I need to prioritize quantity over quality, so I'm going to try and force that for a while; therefor the average quality of my work may drop quite a lot for a while.

But before that, here's the last of my completed sketches I have.

Some studies of stuff: The content I draw changes a bit when drawing with Koz.


Made the head bigger, then fixed the legs. I think these proportions are what I'm aiming for, my ideal goal, when it comes to my least-simplified art.

Here's....most of this one.

And some other junk from today:

Spoiler: show

I tried to ink and color like juralumin, but I have no idea how to yet. I'll figure it out one day, but it's going to take a lot of work, so not yet

We never really see Ru fighting, and I feel we're seeing an incomplete picture of her. So she decided to do a bit of sparring and junk. (...Oh and don't worry, Ru is a good girl. (*^‿^*) That 'heavybag' doesn't deserve any sympathy)

I actually quite like this one Good job trying to criticize your own drawings and trying to fix it. You are improving well

Thanks Xiphor! ^^ Yeah I actually really liked that one too, I need to do more copies like that one.

JK! I just wanted to be melodramatic, it seemed fun. Honestly I don't like using the word 'pervert' because of certain things it implies. I am rather fond of sensual art, and explicit materials; but I'm not aggressive, disrespectful, or inappropriate with it. I don't know if there is really a word for that or not. Aaaanyway, forgetting about all of that, I wouldn't be able to post most of my NSFW ideas anyway without breaking the rules hahah. (Or maybe they wouldn't? I read through them again with Koz and now I'm confused lol)

..I guess there is some stuff I could start drawing and posting, but idk, not yet. I'll do that some day.

Yeah, that's part of it, but not the main thing. My bigger concern is with sharing what my interest is. I'm sure that a lot of people are going to think it's weird, or whatever.....






I know, I know. I'll share it, just, eventually. I guess. I'm also not that good yet. I have this thing where I don't like to draw stuff that is suppose to be sexy if I'm not yet good enough to draw something attractive.

Yeah, but it still feels kind of odd... It seems like something to save for after I'm better. You don't really see anyone learn figures by sketching up sexy stuff all the time.

...Fuck. Touché.

Thanks Ru, I'm sure you're right. But I'm sorry, I'm not going to tell everyone just yet.


Wai... WHAT!? No! You're not allowed to!

Koza!? What the hell are you doing here!? ...and NO! You're not allowed to either!



Geeze... Bad Ru.

No more talking from you for a while.

SHOW US YOUR FUCKING PORN ALREADY OR I SWEAR I'LL FILL YOUR SKETCHBOOK WITH DAGGERS.

I-
I-
I mean... etto... That wasn't what I meant at all! Woooh, what happened to me, right? Hah... haha... hahaha... So... yeah, you should take it easy if you don't feel prepared, after all, art is something very personal, you don't need to show us anything yet. Just know that I feel this forum is full of very understanding people: we are all artist here, and should fully understand that expressing yourself, as weird as it could be, is something to be proud of, not something shameful. Oh, and I feel you on that bit about not wanting to show sexy art when it isn't good because it feels "off"... it definitely happens to mine too, and that's why I don't post anything similar (well, that and I might be paranoid with ruining my non-existent reputation ;O; ). But it is true that if you want to draw hentai, you need to learn how to do it, and in order to do so make a hundred terrible hentai pics that would make you sigh while unzipping No, but really, in the end you need practice, so the sooner you loose that fear of posting and making the kind of art you want, the sooner you'll get feedback and improve on it. So don't be afraid, you don't need to =).

Gambare!!

Wait... what the fu....

RU!!! WHAT DID YOU DO!? I... wha.. how the hell did you even do that!?

God damn it Ru. ..But anyway, yeah. That's something I'm a fan of. I've actually never drawn any myself, almost have, but never finished them since they weren't working out. Funny enough, unrelated to any of this: I was actually recently going through someones pixiv since they made some great tutorials, but they also draw hentai. And it was surprisingly very motivating... Plus I got surprisingly jealous of Tele's sexy scene with Lust from his comic... So I may test the waters with focusing some effort there. And now that Ru SNEAKED INTO MY DAMN SKETCHBOOK and TOLD EVERYONE, I can safely throw in some futanari girls if I ever feel like it (spoilered, for anyone who doesn't care for it).

And thanks you guys, for the super awesome encouragement! ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡ Even knowing how cool and accepting people are here, I never expected to get such a meaningful, heartfelt and substantial reply. And with such a relatable eagerness to see lewd works. Nor did I expect a super badass drawing as a reply. o(>ω<)o (That design is just so awesome Ragamuffin. That little bird atop this Dark Souls looking knight is just too perfect. )

Thanks again, and more drawing should be coming soon since I'm finally finished with a few things that were keeping me busy! ^^

Some leg traces, then looked up legs, then did some from imagination. Still need to do more, faster, with less nitpicking. Progress though. ^^

A couple sketches, trying to figure out a good practice method. I really need a larger tablet for my dysgraphia though, the first one was so hard. Oh well.




I can up with something that could be fun though, so I'm going to post this real quick then start working on that. ^^

(Full Res because small text:)

Well now, it looks like I've got myself a couple new characters, lucky me! (*¯︶¯*) So now if I ever want to do pose practices, I can have them model for me to make things a lot more fun.

Other stuff too. Trying to get used to several new ways of doing things so they're kinda rough, but that's fine. ^^
Also helping Koz out with his expressions on the right here.


I'm kinda surprised at how much I like the "a hoodie, and no pants." look lol... (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)


Some process stuff as well. Ended up just totally redrawing Liz, and that actually turned out better than the one where I was spending too much time trying to fix it up. Really helps me with the "draw faster" idea I need to be applying.

Spoiler: show

It's always so hard understand what kinda things girls find sexy, and why they like it. ╮(￣～￣)╭ Much harder than with guys at least. At least I can kinda understand Ru though, and why she has a thing for Neso's guys.

Everyone knows girls like rainbows and unicorns11!!!!11

Nah everyone's into different stuff, I personally really love baroque or renaissance inspired paintings; beautifully contrapposto figures with chiselled soft anatomy, draped in the most gorgeous of cloths and set in epic poses xD But my three top things are cute guys, wings and drapery : D I may or may not have a mild obsession with angels

Wonderful drawings by the way, Ru has really developed a personality for herself! She's adorable >w<

Thanks Neso! o(≧▽≦)o Surprising understandable/comprehensible interests, though I guess it makes sense that an artist knows what she likes visually speaking. I'll have to keep this in mind for if/when I do some vanilla stuff that appeals equally to both preferences. It's funny, I've always haaaaaaaated the idea of having the male form somewhere in anything sexy.... but now that I'm drawing it; and others can enjoy it, I'd have no problem drawing something like that of just a guy. xD

-Any other preferences from girls or gay/bi guys about what they like to see in guys, since I have very little idea what to do there? :3




NSFW yuri:

Spoiler: show

Mannnn, I was kinda holding back until I figured out this whole posting-or-not-posting-hentai dilemma, then Tele gave me this and it turned out great.. Dx XD Gah I should really figure it out: I love this community, but nobody does hentai stuff (well, Koz, but his is very softcore/tame), but I wanna be a shining example of "see, a hentai artist can be totally the same as the rest of the forum artists, just with different art", but I don't wanna be a burden by posting NSFW where it isn't really common/a thing..... Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually.


T^T ...I'm not a pervert...

Id personally say to draw what you want to get better at! Drawing is a past time for you and you should enjoy what you do. Learn to draw what you want to draw, personally ill be here either way!

Well drawing it isn't really a problem, I'm fine drawing whatever I wanna draw. x3

The problem comes when deciding how much to share, and finding an equilibrium between "oooooh, yeah share it because it I wanna see it/wanna see your progress!" and "eh, that's too much, I don't wanna look at your sketchbook if that's what's in it because that's not my thing and stuff." All while staying within the rules of the forum and the general "yeah, that's okay to put here" feeling of the forum. I'll figure it out eventually, I just need some input from others. ^^ I'm so comfortable with pretty much anything at this point, that I have a hard time gauging at what point other people will become uncomfortable.

Oh man I should get to the next page before posting that important one.... um... here's some filler of something I did for a response to Tele. Thank you for giving me a reason to draw this btw because it is amazing and I love it.

Man, bad day for reference stuff. Oh well, some kinda worked.

VERY enjoyable sketchbook...

your expressions and style have developed during the course of your sketchbook,
honestly really good progress.

nice studies and well.. I just love anime.

Thanks Engell! Those are all fanstastic words of encouragement, because being fun and having interesting expressions are things I really strive for. (≧◡≦) And I love anime as well, all the animes I've watched are probably a huge reason I can think of the expressions I use. ...And it probably also helps that I pause to take a picture/screenshot of anything I like, aaaaaaaalllllllllllllll the time.


No continuation of the pose practice today, because I want to release it in hefty chucks for the sake of comedic timing, but it's coming soon. For the time being, here's some quick-ish expression practice.

+1 for looking at FLCL for inspiration
