OffNSFW's drawings

[OffNSFW]

Hi all. I'm mostly an author of stories here, but I also draw erotic art. (Mostly nude portraits, some clothed, the occasional explicit sex act.) I used to post my drawings to the same Twitter account that I used to promote my stories, but, since I recently deactivated that account, I figured I would start moving my drawings over to Literotica.

The first drawing has been pending for a week and counting! It has come to my attention that Literotica maybe doesn't devote the same resources to a fast turnaround for artwork as they do for stories. I'm not complaining, but I figure it might be better just to make a thread for my drawings in the forums.

This is a portrait of Aurora Skye, a nude model and porn performer. This was the first time I ever drew erotic art of a real person and shared it online. I have artwork of many more models and performers, which I will continue to repost here.

I originally came across Aurora Skye in a video clip in which she was lying on her back, getting jerked off by an extraordinarily lucky man. Her tall, lithe body and her little "unh" moans made her an instant fixture in my sexual fantasies.

This is a diptych style portrait of Carina Shero, who once remarked that an image of her reminded her of melting ice cream. I used that and another image of her as photo references to literalize the idea of her body melting into ice cream.

I'm not sure I captured the effect, but I did my best. Every drawing is a chance to learn something new.

Amusing. Well-observed drawings. You're in the enviable position of being able to illustrate your own stories.

Thanks!

This is Codi Vore. I was just starting to train myself on hatching and struggled to capture her sublime roundness and the perfection of her pubic hair. But who wouldn't struggle?

Nice hatching. And I like her tits!

 

[OffNSFW]

I think this is the first one of these I was really happy with. This is Remi Ferdinand and Valentine Vonbettie. I think part of why this one works is a mixture of close study of the reference photo (not a chore at all with these two!) and looking to other artists who predominantly work in black and white ink to see how they would approach these body types, the lighting scenario, etc.

 

[OffNSFW]

This is Faye Lockwood. If I remember right, the impetus of this drawing was that she had made some kind of social media post about not feeling beautiful, and I wanted to draw something of her that conclusively demonstrated that she was.

 

[OffNSFW]

Aqua, who probably deserves some kind of prize for the number of times I'd seen pictures of them on Twitter and said "My god, they're beautiful, how do I not follow them already?" without realizing I already did. I think it's their ever-evolving hair.

A drawing of Mike Panic. I hadn't practiced much on drawing men at this point, and I wanted to fix that. There's a gentleness and a sweetness about his physicality that I didn't quite capture. But as a bald, powerfully built, slightly thick man with a really nice cock, he was still a pleasure to draw.

 

[OffNSFW]

Two consecutive attempts to draw Iris Skye, AKA Frecks and Frames. One of the toughest things about balancing realism and cartooniness in a line drawing is that it's the little details that makes someone beautiful--for example, the ripples in their belly and thighs, the way their pubic and underarm hair grows, the natural rolls and folds of their body fat. You want to flatter the things about them you find beautiful, but one of the principles of cartooning is that more detail tends to be less flattering. Finding that balance is a delicate process that takes a lot of practice.

 

[LiverpoolMaster]

One of the toughest things about balancing realism and cartooniness in a line drawing ...

Why bother? I've never understood this 'cartooniness' business. Why not simply go for out-and-out realism? So many artists seem to have this unjustified, almost religious devotion to the idea of producing what amounts to quasi-comical characters... when the subject is actually far from comedy.

Can anyone explain this really weird fixation to me? Your drawing of 'Mike Panic', whoever that is, was good, lifelike and interesting. Bravo. Now tell me what earthly point there would be in distorting his features to look like some comic book creation?

I'll tell you for free: none.

 

[OffNSFW]

You may be proceeding from a more specific definition of cartooning than I'm necessarily dealing in here. Every form of representational art involves some sort of heightening of reality in the service of expressiveness, whether it's subtly playing up desirable physical features, tweaking a face to capture an emotional reality that otherwise wouldn't translate, or straight up doing Tex Avery style exaggerated forms and gestures to capture the kinetic feeling of bodies in motion.

There's a terrific documentary about Robert Crumb (himself a master of erotic portraiture, whether as pure cartooning, photorealistic line drawing, and all points in between) where he gives his son a drawing lesson. He points out that the woman in their photo reference has a certain haughtiness that doesn't come through in a direct point-by-point life drawing, and that it's important to know when to "cheat" (i.e. add an effect of caricature) to play something like that up. It's not always for comedic purposes. In fact, it may rarely be.

I personally find pure Looney Tunes style cartooning just as enjoyable and rewarding as more lifelike stuff. The catch is, I'm not as good at it, so I find it beneficial to blend the two for practice. The point is to get better, and you don't get better by sticking to what you know. Not everything is to everyone's taste, and that's perfectly fine.

This one of Beccasaur is a good example. (I feel silly referring to people by their online handle, but some sex workers don't bother with names for obvious reasons.) I wasn't just trying to draw someone with a beautiful body. There was a sort of malaise and a wry amusement in the reference photo that didn't really translate in the drawing until I played up the slouch of her posture, her downcast eyes, etc. That, too, is cartooning.

 

[LiverpoolMaster]

It's not always for comedic purposes. In fact, it may rarely be.

But that is the effect it gives, intended or not.

We shall have to differ. I see no point in exaggerating human features 'beyond the human' for whatever reason, genuine or imaginary, 'playing up or playing down'. This is an ego-trip conceit.

I admire very much the ability of some artists to 'suggest' with a few strokes of a pen, pencil or brush, without having to fill in every last visible detail. That is true talent... and is altogether a different matter.

The thing I understand least about this inflated, off-putting style is why it is applied with clear enthusiasm even to drawings done from the imagination or suggested scenes, where there is no reference picture as such.

That one might want to beautify an existing image or add one's own minor touches to it might, à la limite, be an excusable trait in an artist... but to do this bizarre and wholesale caricaturing of the human form where one is starting with no temptations in that direction is simply unfathomable. I suspect, with many artists, the psychological ability to go cold turkey on this strange addiction has disappeared long ago.

Hey, it's cool. And I appreciate you hearing me out, even if our perspectives on this ultimately differ. Art is sort of like our turn-ons. We all have to come to it as ourselves and be honest about what works for us.

To scoot things back towards the original topic, here's a drawing of Marley Moore. I was struggling with hatching and lighting, and her incredible body (frankly, her ass) was an opportunity to play around with something that caught light and shadows in lots of interesting ways.

 

[OffNSFW]

This is Jack Hammer and Bobbi Starr, two wonderful performers who did some work for Kink.com back in the day. A lot of what I love about nudity and depictions of sex is the sheer animal lust of it, but there can also be a sweetness to it, a soulful closeness and a camaraderie. I guess that's the kind of mood I was in when I drew this one.

 

[OffNSFW]

This is Zy. (Again, not a real/full name, obviously.) I originally drew this as a gag about AI art that now escapes me, and I ended up liking the way it came out despite drawing a lot more loosely/scumbley than I usually do. He liked it too, which was nice. I always worry that I might offend someone by drawing their portrait without permission, or that they won't like how they're depicted, but the times I've been contacted by my subjects have always been positive.

 

[OffNSFW]

This is one of my favorites--both one of my favorite drawings and one of my favorite subjects. Her name is Maria Moans, and I have a few more of her. Her beauty is exquisite.

I'd come up with more to say about her, but I've already eaten up most of my free time today getting my submission to the Literotica Nude Day Contest in order, so... there's that.

 

[OffNSFW]

My Nude Day story submission is scheduled to go up on the 16th, which is a much longer turnaround than I'm used to. But hey, that probably means they're getting lots of great submissions to work through.

My art submission (the Aurora Skye piece) has been stuck in pending status since 5/23. I'm assuming by now that it's going to stay that way until I forget about it.

But here's this drawing of Goddess Amina! This and the last few drawings are from a period when I was finally getting a knack for hatching and getting the whole hyperreal impressionist thing under control.

 

[OffNSFW]

This one, of Lexi Squier, is a little looser and sketchier than I'd been working at the time, but I think it came out well. The reference photo I used struck me with how authentic her joy and her pleasure looked, and also how she and I use a magic wand in the same way when we masturbate. She is beautiful.

 

[OffNSFW]

Digging up more drawings while I wait for my Nude Day story to go live tomorrow. (I've never had to wait this long. I feel like it's been a million years.) This drawing is based on a reference photo of a sex worker I've seen posting in multiple places as Lila Grey, Egyptian Nympho, and other names.

I actually had this picture saved to do as a drawing for a long time, because it was too beautiful not to, but it took me a while to get to it for some reason. Maybe I just needed to level up first.

Hello. I am a digital artist and appreciate art that others dismiss as porn. Keep it up - a nice drawing. Her mound appears a bit prominent, is that how she looks ?

She is trans, hence the distinctiveness of her lady bits.

I recently had an exciting day, y'all--my Nude Day story, "Locker Room Talk," went up and seems to be well liked. Anyone who can spare the time ought to take a look.

And to keep it on topic: this is Original Ebony Slim, or many other variations of that name depending on where you find her. The photo this is based on did such a beautiful job of capturing the richness of the way this woman's body interacts with light and shadow, and I really struggled to translate that into a drawing.

 

[OffNSFW]

Yaya is another sex worker/performer I'd been meaning to take a shot at for a long time and just took forever to get around to it for whatever reason. By this point, I guess I figured I'd been spending an awful lot of time and effort on heavy shading and hatching, so I was trying to pull back on that and see what minimum I could get away with and still create the right effect. Yaya's skin captures the light in a very smooth and even way, and their body is round and soft without any hard shadows, so they were an ideal subject.

My wife is intrigued by your drawings! Would you be interested in taking the time to draw when given a chance??

I don't really work on commission or anything like that, but I might be open to it as an opportunity to learn from drawing a new subject.

This is Vanessa Suggz. (Yeah, I got the spelling wrong in the inscription. Oops.) I don't know how much of this I was able to translate, but she has a look to me very much like a movie star of the 1960s, like Natalie Wood or Mia Farrow, a sort of sleepy androgynous beauty and a delicate frame. I was also trying something here where I worked from a bunch of reference photos to draw a composite of my favorite aspects of all of them.
