Erica Cannot Draw

Sideblog of @toy-sitting-anon/@definitelynotplanetfall for art to help with insomnia and headache days. I take requests within reason but don't expect quality.

testing butt growth formulas. it’s early days

[erica-cannot-draw]

there are a couple slightly more complicated/interesting ones (still, like, buttgirls, but a bit more going on than Standing There) in the works but i did not feel like finishing them last night lol

I did draw something last night (properly, with the date in the corner and everything) but I think it crosses a line for low originality and high crassness to post here (thicc lyra heartstrings. that's it. just a mlp unicorn with a larger ass than usual. not even doing anything in particular.)

[erica-cannot-draw]

fine. I’m slightly less embarrassed by this a few weeks on

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

[erica-cannot-draw]

ok, so i think i know how this works:

archive only lists tags that at least 2 posts have

archive only sees posts that were created with a tag. posts that were edited to have a tag do not count towards the 2 post minimum.

when setting a filter, the archive can find posts that were edited to have a tag, but it displays the wrong total

this explains why the only tags in the archive before and immediately after me going through and tagging everything were #ask and #no-use-for-a-username, because xkit auto-populates those tags when replying to asks.

this ultimately does not matter because nobody is going to use the archive

Recycler-chan, proud of her handiwork.

Really need to work on nobody looking the same from behind. (Really this is a problem of how I draw hips from the front such that they do not make 3d sense, so a drawing from behind cannot capture them accurately and still look plausible.) Also need to work on having some more original ideas.

rummaging for stuff to crush. sort of a counterpart to this one

it's strange how when i draw t[redacted] from the back her ass usually looks smaller than when i draw her from the front. not just as an "i can't keep the anatomy consistent because i'm incompetent" thing, like, here is this drawing superimposed with another of her, scaled so their heights are the same (approximately, because in the other her feet are off the bottom of the page)

make it make sense!

also the sneakers look kind of wrong here. i'm never really sure what shoes to put her in. i don't like high heels in general but nothing else really forms a sensible aesthetic with her dress. when she's doing a future thing i can give her Tech Socks or Tech Boots. but if we take the blue dress as her Definitive Default Outfit regular boots or socks (or barefoot) don't really fit with it

Probably going to color this one which is why you get the rare Empty Leah Hair.

I gotta be honest I feel conflicted about this one. The idea of tongue kissing kind of aggressively wigs me out which, like, you’re probably rolling your eyes right now and thinking “yeah erica would think this. does this pathetic wanker bitch like anything at all” and the answer is yes I like complaining but that’s off topic. The point is I still have some lingering positive affinity for like, Really Going At It kissing viewed from the outside from when I was a kid and didn’t know about the tongues and had been heavily connotated at by movies and stuff, whilst having no appetite and some revulsion at the thought of engaging in it directly. That makes this feel at least a little disingenuous and a little “selling out” to compartmentalization (a word which here means “intellectual dishonesty”). I wish I was a better person.

We as a species really need to get on inventing a way of entwining emotional and physical closeness that is, like, closer than hugs but not slimy for the people who don’t like slimy things.
