/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

thanks. It took about 5 hours. I actually started with pic related, which was a low effort sketch. I did it to explore the challenges the pose would bring when i really tried (and to start picking hues). like this anon said >>4627907 I started with a gesture after that. I don't really do a "sketch layer" then a "finished lineart" layer because as many people have rightly pointed out on /ic/, that usually makes lifeless lines (probably because it's not that fun). So i refined the sketch lines and spent about 65% of my time there. Coloring/lighting took little time, just two tone with some soft brushing for interest.

The most important thing to me was to make the drawing express the way i felt when i looked at the picture. Don't draw the subject, draw an 'idea' of the subject. Her tits are squished in a lot because of the tightness of the tank top, meaning they're actually bigger when she takes it off, and her nipples are really small and high, usually an indication that her breasts are fake. I spent a lot of time just staring at the picture of her boobs, trying to understand why it turned me on as much as it did. The single thing I spent the most time on was making her breasts the perfect size, massive, but 'almost' believable.

I also looked up the model, Jordan Carver and found the other pics from the shoot. I changed her face a lot because her expression in the pic looks sort of empty headed like she's about to sneeze.

The racket looks like garbage and had no effort put into it because it was 5 am and i needed to get it out the door so i could sleep, and no one is jerking off to a tennis racket.

no

One other thing i should mention is that i've done life drawing twice a month for like 7 years, so although the anatomy/pose isn't perfect, i'm able to focus on my fantasy more because i'm not just struggling to draw her body, which comes fairly naturally now.
