My art on Tumblr
Oils and watercolour both include a very simple thematic background. Oils are better suited to detailed work, while watercolours will be more dramatic.

rereading everything now, then i'll probably do another pass tomorrow afternoon/evening, but like... chapter 33 tomorrow night?????????????
I’m really sorry if you’ve answered something like this before (feel free to ignore this if you have) but I was wondering how you went about studying anatomy because the proportions are great and the way you stylise it whilst still making it seem believable is incredible, but yeah I was wondering if you had any tips, or even like a little process or sketch on how you break down the anatomy. Thank you!
Hey! They have but I've never had the energy to do a small sketch about it until today. Here's how I generally approach anatomy, I hope this helps!
Hi! That's so nice of you to say and I'm honored to have helped! I have to screenshot your ask because they’re hunting keywords these days-- just assume by ship art I also mean erot*c art. One of my favorite topics! Keep in mind this is all very personal advice for my particular style of doing things while other people do it differently and are very successful. A lot of the advice I'd give here is the same I'd give for studying any kind of art, but here there's a lot of character acting involved.
Ship art is a great vehicle to get into the lizard brain of your characters (and our own), and for me, really successful ship art is about personalizing the act for the specific characters you're drawing– where you really think about how their personalities and ways they play off each other affect how it goes-- down to things like expression and hand placement. Give different pairs of characters the same situation, props, trope, etc., and run through the scene in your mind. Even if you go for the same type of character, they all approach the situation at least slightly differently, right? They can be poseable art dolls sometimes, and that's fun. But what really sets it off for me is when you can really see the story, when you can see the before and the after at the fringes of the moment you chose to draw. That takes character acting. This often means to stop having them play to the camera. Don't choose the perfect magazine-cover snapshot where the pose is perfect and everyone fits together perfectly and the pose is calculated to show everything and nothing is amiss. Frame the scene and have them act as if they're the only ones in the room, that they don't notice you and neither should you be there at all. They don't have to twist about to get every angle you could imagine at once. This again is about drawing a *moment* instead of a concept. The concept is, for example, someone’s getting their soul sucked entirely out of their body, but what led to this moment? Ponder their state of mind, and what they think of the other person for a little bit and then think how you can bring those things into the drawing. Look at the posing and think about how the interaction can be tailored even more to them to add interest. Going with your first idea is fine, but refine the elements of it. Is one person touching the other? An example of tailoring it better for that real gut punch would maybe be to have the other person taking their hand and dragging it along, shyly or maybe with coquettish confidence, depending on who they are (this example brought to you by my current drawing conundrum). I know this is on the spiritual side of drawing but I absolutely believe it’s tied to better execution if you take the time to understand your characters and play a scene out to take that one frame from it. This is how I interpreted your question about tension, but if it’s not it then let me know and I can maybe help out a bit more.
This is neither here nor there, but a quick and dirty thing I like to do for physical framing of a shot to make it more ~cinnamontography~ is to put an object in the foreground very close to the camera and then blur it. :)
At the heart of great ship art for me is an element of awkwardness and intense vulnerability. This is sort of the continuation of the same thought with drawing a moment and character acting vs the perfect snapshot etc etc. Using a favorite example, size difference– but they don’t perfectly slot into each other’s bodies like puzzle pieces. If things aren’t matching up, don’t you work it out, let them work it out. Maybe someone has to hunch over or someone has to wrap their leg around the other one oddly or the couch is too small and they have to get creative, and these are actually really hot things to let them do. The candidness and imperfection of it all is humanizing and that absolutely works in your favor. I’m also a fan of realistic expressions– not everyone does it that way and there are a lot of really effective ways of conveying facial expressions in ship art, but for me, working to get a natural expression carries a lot of weight towards that wonderful sense of vulnerability. This is when it can really start to feel like you’re intruding into something extremely personal for the subject because we control our faces all day long, whether consciously or subconsciously; there’s a real sense of giving in to their feelings and dropping that social mask. Draw from life and photos for sure.
We get to talk about hands and squish now! Another favorite thing. Human bodies yield to the pressure of other objects, including each other, and distortion of anatomy and body fat is what will really make things feel solid and tactile. By distortion of anatomy I don’t necessarily mean something highly stylized; it happens when parts of a body are being pressed or stretched beyond what they’d normally be able to do under just their own power. Like, think about how far you can flex your ankle upwards towards your knees without any help. Then do the same thing against a wall. It can go much farther, right? When bodies press against things, the range of motion increases and the evidence of the force on them is that overextended quality of the bend/stretch and the wrinkles and rolls it creates in the skin. Observing how this happens to different body parts and positions will help you determine how to go about it, because not all fat and skin behaves the same way on all parts of the body. The fine, numerous wrinkles in a hand would not be appropriate for the bend at the the knee– you’d use larger, softer, and fewer lines to indicate more thickness there beneath the skin than on a hand.
The distortion I was talking about happens at smaller levels too, and the way fingers press into skin can be especially useful to look at! I usually go about this by adding some small lines on the other person’s skin that connect to the fingers/hand of the person who is doing the touching. And the skin presses back! There’s distortion to the hand and fingers too. They do squish a little themselves and the hand overall can distort pretty damn far, so don’t be afraid if you think it doesn’t really look like a hand at first. Trust the process. I use hand references for all of this type of work, 100% of the time, because I’m going for a very specific pose and quality of touch and all of those little lines matter.
I’ve said it a hundred times and I’ll keep saying that hands can convey expression in the ways that a face cannot and they become incredibly powerful once you realize it. A full, firm grab can be warm and comforting and a featherlight touch can be absolutely unhinged, freakishly insane and it all depends on how you use it. Looking at how hands press into skin or hover over it (references yay always with the references) will help a lot.
That was long, hopefully all made sense, but it’s one of my favorite topics and it was wonderful to get to talk about it with you! Ship art and p*rn is a whole lot to choreograph, there’s just so much that goes into it and everything is connected to everything else. But it’s a lot of fun and I hope you can use some of that to help you make spicier art :)
