Following a brief but enjoyable exchange with @lewdles.bsky.social about the merits of choking and makeup tears three days ago, I drew this page of self-indulgent depictions of their character Sapphira choking and ruining her makeup.

Contains implied CNC and tears if you are unwilling to see that.

I have decided to post a quartet of older drawings of mine from when I was a child that I am particularly fond of.

Put out some feelers and am working on making the drawing practice group a reality.

Sorry to the folks I said I would reach out to and haven’t, will do so soon! Just got hit by some IRL stuff at the same time so I’m going a little slower than expected.

In a moment of vanity I discovered the television show "Snowpiercer" two minutes ago. It is a rather damning blow to my search engine optimisation should I try to monetise my drawing hobby in some simultaneously optimistic and unfortunate hypothetical future.

The rather overdue NSFW. In case it was not clear, I like tentacles. I think I am going to go to sleep now, as it is very late. For what it is worth, I would like to welcome good faith "creepy"/down bad comments as well as criticism, as I feel that they would be entertaining and mildly encouraging.

It will be refined tomorrow.

I have finally extricated myself from a several month long illustrative dry period. This is, however, mostly through rather NSFW works. I do not plan to make a habit of drawing it regularly, but I feel I ought to make it clear that this is what shall be posted for the short but foreseeable future.

I made some quick doodles to get back into habits I lost over the past month or so of work.

Today's drawings: a mildly gluttonous rodent, half a sphinx cat's face to be finished at a later date™️, and a yinglet (from the brilliant webcomic Out-of-Placers) with a rather odd shelltooth mutation and some dainty eyebrows that may not have shown up properly on camera now that I am looking at it.

I have not drawn anything substantial in the past two weeks, but I have made many small doodles, mostly with my new pencil. I will provide individual commentary in the alt text for the sake of space saving.

I bought a new pencil on the 28th of April, a 0.35mm mechanical one specifically for drawing very thin lines. Without it, I would not have been able to draw hair like this with this amount of ease and efficiency. Excuse the face and slightly malpositioned ears.

This was mostly inspired by @ freudeart 's style, albeit with cross-hatching rather than straight lines for cloth creases. It was drawn much faster than previous ones, which is something I have been wanting to improve, and I am very happy with how this turned out. The pocket is quite choppy though.

Here's what I managed after 30 minutes. I ended up reverting to a combination of the style shown in the reference and similar styles I've seen rather than the style I desired/use most due to time constraints, however if I have time tomorrow I'll try the style I intended to use or finish this piece.

I have finally completed the drawing, wildly behind and ahead of desired and expected schedules. The beard was a spur-of the moment decision reflecting my own poor shaving habits that I found oddly cute on this figure, similar to Tom Fisbach's character Natani.

So I said I would finish that drawing by now but I got bored and a mite overworked, so I'll come back to it in a couple of months once I've allowed the idea of what I'm going to do with the head to fester for a bit. In the meantime, have a 300lb shortstack deer I drew a month or two ago.

I have made very little progress over the week and weekend in spite of how close I am to completing the drawing, as I am worried I will make an error and end up stalling as a result. I did manage to draw the feet yesterday however, and am proud of what I achieved despite the inconsistency.

There was a major change of plans for Tuesday that greatly reduced the time I had to draw, hence the delay. On Tuesday I added an untucked waist to the shirt, and nothing more. This was more pronounced than intended, but i am still happy with the result.

I drew this earlier today, with the right sleeve and hands finished just now. I realised just before shading the right arm that I could use a thinner pen tip, which is why the left arm appears darker. I used the same thinner pen for the hands, which are blockier than intended but existent at least.

After a few months of owning a drawing tablet I have finally finished something that I am willing to post and have remembered that I can. I am not quite happy with the perspectives and it took too long to draw for my liking, but it doesn't have to be perfect, just informative for future sketches.
