Oversized 4

I found an older line work sketch of this drawing in the layers of my file, and I thought I would try a watercolor technique to color it in I rather like this...

Sideview 4

I'm hoping to end my Instagram hiatus with this sketch, but I'm not sure yet. I think his dick might be too big and the censors might be too trigger-happy lately.

Crotch & Grimace

I had an image in my head and thought maybe it was inspired by Mark Allen's photo of a similar pose, but when I looked it up it wasn't the same pose, and maybe in my mind I'm just mixing and matching my influences. Here's hoping this is original enough!

Gender Fluid Reference

I was reading a news article that featured an artist and some photos of her in her country home, and there was a shot of her walking on a field where you saw her back. I liked the ease of her walk but wanted to draw it as a man, and show his musculature. So I used it as a reference, and made it male, and naked. I think stuff like this is good exercises for practicing anatomy.

Sample Form 2

I was demonstrating advanced pattern design techniques in Photoshop and in preparation, I decided to draw a leopard print sample and put it in my sample form, which I tried to update a bit but I don't think I did it right either haha.

Sample Form

I wanted to demonstrate to my class how to apply patterns to a sketch in Photoshop, and this was a quickie I drew up just to throw stuff on. But I feel a bit sheepish about her since she feels a bit dated, no?

MauveGuy 2

While taking the train up to meet some friends at the museums, I decided to sketch on my iPhone. I pulled out this drawing from a few days back and decided to try and improve and continue it, but I'm not sure that's what actually happened (the improvement, I mean haha)

Procreate New Brushes Test

I don't normally draw in Procreate. I can, but I don't like to since I am so used to a desktop and my Wacom tablet. But I do want to keep abreast of it and since today they released the latest version of Procreate with Kyle Webster's newest brushes, I'm attempting to test them out. This sketch is a test (and those names are some of the brushes I used).

Sideview 3

I decided I needed to close his mouth, that open mouth face wasn't working for me. I also shortened the length between his nose and his lip, as well as made his penis tilt lower and heavier, haha. I'm also figuring out his abs, maybe he can be smoother overall, but that could still change..

Sideview 2

Refining it more, but I'm not sure I like his profile. I originally thought, oh, I like that he's not perfectly my type of guy, that makes him more real (I had a kid that I saw in the gym in mind when I did his profile). But I just didn't like the face, he wasn't someone I wanted to see nekkid lol

Sideview

I have been taking a break on Instagram for the past few weeks, I just didn't have the wherewithal to publish something, as I wasn't really into drawing. Between my big birthday this month and all sorts of political chaos, I've been distracted. But I thought, maybe a side view nude will be an easy enough return to IG, especially if I plan it for a little later, when I hit the 1 month mark on my absence from the platform.

Selective 2

I couldn't stand the face of the guy so i changed it, but he's not really that much better. Too quirky, like some background character in some crime mafia movie lol

Sample Croquis 2025

I needed to draw an updated croquis figure for my students to use as an example for my pattern insertion demo on video. I rather like the original sketch although I don't love the color job I did, but it's fine, I can improve it all later. The students don't need to see something perfect.

Selective

I got the idea to do some sketches where I would selectively color and detail only some body parts, but I think I need to edit the form better than this.

Sexy Side Eye 3

And still not sure what to do, but I'm trying. I think his stance was a good idea, but not really that interesting.

Sexy Side Eye 2

In search of older drawings to finish and possibly upload to Instagram, I rediscovered this old one from 2018 and wondered if he's worth finalizing. The jury's still out—not sure if I like his face.

Side Walk 2

I tried a straighter leg, like the photo on COS that I originally was inspired by, and it's s ubtle diff of where the weight lands, which I love rendering.

Guelph Guy

I got an old sketch of mine on my mind when I drew this with the Guelph brush, because it reminds me of an older sketch I did with a similar look. Gah, that makes me feel bad, like I'm so limited to my own set of recycled ideas.

Side Walk

I love doing profile walk poses. There's something about getting the right attitude as well as the correct anatomy that I love as a challenge.

New Pantaloons

I was looking at a new (to me) menswear brand online and their wideleg pants were touted as pantaloons. Now, I don't think that's accurate, but young people today can repurpose old terms as they see fit anyhow (well, within reason). This was me sketching out some of their offerings but never really finishing it,

Musing on the Menswear Shows 8

I was never satisfied with teh shading I did because it was just really quick without any real thought to draping. I thought it faked it well enough, but I thought I'd redo it all with a bit more conscious placement of light, shadow and color.

Porn Upshot

So, I was watching some porn and one of the actors looked upward at a key moment, and I rather liked his face from that angle, so I took a screen grab, studied it, and then tried to redraw it from memory. If memory serves, the guy was handsomer than my drawing...

3 Minute Mer-Man

Still not wanting to draw extensively. Fortunately for my blog, any old sketch will do, as long as I draw 1 drawing for each day.

3 Minute Duck

When I don't want to draw and I have to make a drawing for today? A 3 minute duck is your answer! Sketched in 3 minutes.

MauveGuy

A face I attempted to do on my iPhone, and he's fine as a quick sketch. 

Reclining Nude On His Phone, Also

I retooled the look from yesterday completely, and he's much better. But I need to get proper references, I'm afraid. That foreshortening is a bit wonky around the pelvis.

Reclining Nude On His Phone

I was thinking of a pose to post on Instagram and this idea is fine, but I'm having a hard time with the positioning of...well, everything.

Musing on the Menswear Shows 7

I brought this sketch out thinking I culd post it for First Friday, but I'm too unsatisfied with how I rendered the draping on it, so it will have to wait until I feel its done.

Submit 2

So today my model Nicholas and I discussed how to make some of the pieces I dreamt up in my sketches into reality. This particular setup wandered into furniture territory...

Submission

My "Submit" drawing is getting refined and based on a series of photos I took of my model Nicholas, whom this was designed around.
