@cheesecakeboys.bsky.social very kindly agreed to kick off my hasthtag cOc'tober in the Redrawing Masculinity session today. I hope everyone else was as delighted as I was to do this study. 😅

a digital pencil sketch with a vague line suggesting a human torso, thighs and hand, contrasting with a highly detailed and shaded penis and scrotum. It is labeled October 1, stylized with an additional lowercase c at the beginning and an apostrophe to imply a letter k is missing after the second lowercase c. The capital O is elongated between the round lowercase "c"s to suggest a cock and balls. It is signed @nathanlaj '25.

So this was a fun little bedtime project!

Don't prop shit up behind your door, folks.
Especially shit that is the exact same size as the space behind your fuckin door. Or glass.

I was scrabbling around in the 1 inch of space under the door for a couple hours before I chopped my little hand door.

Went to the Redrawing Masculinity Figure Drawing again this month. Gave it a miss last month cuz the New Year's date shift dropped it onto "Parents Over for Dinner Night", but hoping to do it on the reg' now. I'm soooo rusty, feels good to stretch my sketch muscles.

I had not drawn anything in 800 years, but this month I attended (via Zoom) a Redrawing Masculinity figure drawing session and it felt so good to scribble again. I'll be back again in February for sure.

charcoal sketch of a nude male figure laying sideways propped up by a pillow, and wearing a little hat unfinished charcoal sketch of a nude male figure reclined on his back, supported by pillows. One foot is drawn too big and he is missing the whole other lower leg. unfinished pencil sketch of two nude male figures relaxing together. They have no faces because I wasn't paying enough attention to the time. 2 quick conte crayon scribbles of a male pole dancer scrungled up in neat poses on the pole.

I spent WAY too much time re-making my inquisitor in Veilguard. His tattoos came out so much darker than I thought they would tho. LOL

He's 100% homosexual sad-boy. 🥰🙏🏳️‍🌈✨️I'm love him.
A close up shot of a blonde, light-skinned, beautiful elf boy with big pointed ears, a shaggy medium-length hairstyle and big sad brown eyebrows. He has dark green eye makeup around his big puppy-dog looking hazel eyes, and dark green tattoos on his face and neck.

I haven't turned the heat on in my apartment yet so the Prince has been climbing in my shirts a bunch.

I dried my own mint and look at the difference in colour! The left is leaves that were on stems, bundled and hung to dry and the right is leaves that were plucked from the stems and dried by pressing flat with paper towels. Wild!
