Make some noise for soft tummies
Welcome back to the amazing rosie_rosie_rosie in the pose (and sentiment) that brought her to my attention in the first place. To be clear, the title of this post came from her. What can I say about this wonderful figure? She’s obviously a gorgeous lady. But even more than that, my eye was drawn to...
Denim dreams
Please welcome Reddit user rosie_rosie_rosie to the site! She is a beautiful young woman who was happy to aid my journey of learning by agreeing to be a subject here. This first work is a study in revelation, showing off her gorgeous figure behind a shroud of denim. I’d like to do more work with...
Light and shadow
It's been a long time since I drew someone from Reddit. This is Affectionate_Ad494, in a pose he titled Light and shadows. (What's up with Reddit users with Something_Ad### name patterns?) I bumped into it one morning and was captivated by the play of contrasts and the way they highlighted his anatomy. I had a life...
One lump or two?
This is a portrait of Reddit user Fragrance_Ad7220 from a post on /r/CoffeeGoneWild. I loved the play of light and shadow, especially across the big, curved surface of her skin. This is another coffee cup painting, which I have decided will be an ongoing theme for me. I think the juxtaposition of sexuality with the...
Cheers to Sunday
Painting of /u/MakingBeauty from a post titled Cheers to Sunday. This is a digital painting, using a slightly modified version of the default acrylic tool. Vivid, solid colors and some very fun foreshortened limbs going into this portrait made it a challenge. I was not too surprised that even with trying to focus on...
Succulent
Portrait of Reddit user succulentslut96, painted in Procreate on iPad. I started to think I wanted to try painting someone with curly hair and this lady really jumped out at me. Look at her eyes! Or eye, at any rate. Incredible! I took a few runs at her hair, unsatisfied with the results each time. This version looks...
littlemiddlemissy
A quick portrait painting of Reddit user littlemiddlemissy. I spent less time on this than most, and it shows — it's definitely a bit rough. I've got a life drawing class starting Tuesday and wanted to clear the deck ahead of it. But I'm generally happy with it. Features are generally in the right place, which took...
Big cup for a cold morning
Charcoal portrait of Reddit user gfykay, using Procreate on the iPad, based on this photo. I have a thing for coffee cups. I don't know what that's about, it just is. Her picture was a delightful tease, and she gave me permission to do a painting of it. I think the results are reasonably good. I took a shot at doing...
Teknekt
Portrait of Reddit user teknekt for the DrawMe subreddit. I'm not entirely sure what pulled me into this piece, but it was fun to draw. This was my first time going for a kind of wet look to the paints. I like the messiness and expression they give, although I'd probably be better served applying the techniques to...
Touch me in the morning
Sketch portrait of Reddit user /u/DforDance's magnificent pose here. I tried using a vertical hashing scheme here. I don't know about this one. I can't say it's in the success category. I tried several different renditions of the shade layer, but it isn't especially good. But, you roll with the punches. Those hands look...
Kitten ears and sunlight
Sketch portrait of /u/AmeliaStoner for /r/DrawMeNSFW. I love the pose. I hope the translucency in her bra comes across, but that's definitely a hard thing to capture without color. I tried out a rougher version of shade lines here, less uniform than your usual cross-hatches. I think the hash placement is decent this...
Happy Sunday
I drew a portrait of /u/thelovelywildflwr for /r/DrawMeNSFW. I decided to practice sketching today, and used a new cross hatching style. For someone who struggles with confident line work, the bold outline and parallel hashes was a valuable challenge! When I was trying to decide what to do with the environment, realism...
Curves
Another painting of /u/the_tired_hippie for /r/DrawMeNSFW. She makes some really terrific poses for me to learn. My painting in Procreate continues to improve. I'd say the roughest part of this is managing the outline/paint boundary. You can see that some of it is soft and some hard-edged. I'll have to work something...
Up for anything
Painting of Reddit user /u/mommy_time for /r/DrawMeNSFW. The detail in the original pose made me want to do this as a full painting. The detail work was too important for a cartoon-style rendering. For the first time with a full painting in Procreate, I am happy with the color work in this. I think I'm finally getting...
The Tired Hippie
This is a painted portrait of Reddit user /u/the_tired_hippie for /r/DrawMeNSFW. It's a great pose! I accidentally merged the sketch and paint layers, so there's some really crude line work around the edges. I think it turned out all right, though. Clearly, I'm still trying to get a handle on the blender tool in...
theox25
I drew a portrait of Reddit user theox25 for the /r/DrawMe subreddit. The sketch was entirely freehand, and I think it captures her likeness pretty well. Unfortunately, I'm still struggling with applying color in Procreate, so my attempts to refine it into a painting weren't working out. I decided to do a cleaned up...
petitoctopus
This is a portrait of Reddit user petitoctopus, drawn for /r/DrawMeNSFW. I put some limitations on myself doing this one. I watched a maddeningly talented artist on YouTube do a portrait of Gandalf and it got in my head. He threw down a gauntlet, challenging people to paint using a single, basic brush. He doesn't even...
