Erica Cannot Draw @erica-cannot-draw - Tumblr Blog

She’s so cute with glasses.

I guess we’re establishing that belly buttons don’t exist in this universe. Probably sex doesn’t, so it makes sense that birth doesn’t either.

just went through and tagged stuff for no reason. might be a while before the archive lets you filter by the newly added tags, idk how that works

It speaks ill of me that I always draw her smiling.

#leah #nondestructive

I wish whatever compelled me to draw this and only this wasn’t wrong with me.

Really phenomenally awful dud from last night. Majestic in its sheer depth of failure.

Have you considered leaning more into the stuff you like drawing? Just "I really like seeing this so I'm gonna make so much of it" rather than worrying about what you "should" draw?

The short answer is that it just gets kind of boring to draw the same thing over and over. I rarely ever regret making anything but I wish my brain came up with more varied ideas and/or the array of subjects that compelled me enough to enjoy drawing them was a bit wider

Like a lot of this is entirely down to the fact that my brain took a wrong turn at some point and the precise shapes I'm attracted to are just Not Quite Right in a way it's hard to explain without sounding like a lunatic, plus for whatever reasons the range between "totally chaste" and "totally horny for kinks I find actively offputting" isn't an area with much saturation (or maybe I just don't know the keywords to find them, but also I don't know the vocabulary to ask people for the keywords; the point is "people don't put stuff that scratches this itch in my line of sight and I don't know how to go looking for it myself more time-economically than just drawing my own, so even if it's incredibly common it might as well not exist")

So the reason I draw my waifu OCs over and over is that's the only visual itch that can't be scratched by other means. It's a powerful itch! I just kind of wish there were more such itches.

It’s her again, being cute.

It’s her again, being hot?

This one looks a lot worse tbh! The goal of these two was to draw them without the hyper-absurd waistlines, but Erika came out looking incredibly straightforwardly cute and T[REDACTED] came out looking just kind of wonky and distorted. Some of that is I drew her relative to the first drawing; Erika has normal-ish proportions with a lot of leeway to stretch in various ways, so I stretched her; T[REDACTED] is defined as having an extreme hourglass figure relative to her which is already pushing plausibility.

Also possible it's an issue of a lack of detail on her outfit; Erika probably also looks awful but you're distracted from noticing this because there's more going on than just her silhouette.

There's also the ongoing issue of Erika having a recognizable face + design that I don't feel the need to label all the time but T[REDACTED] is pretty generic so if she isn't colored in I have to specifically call her out. Like here especially, she would probably have turned out better if I drew her wearing a polo and jeans again but then it would not remotely be clear that it's her rather than some nameless single-instance Girl With Ponytail
