Re: the recent tumblr-drama I figure I’d better share my twitter for now.  Catch me at https://twitter.com/Malk_draws Assuming I don’t get nuked (if tumblr didnt go turbo-retard) I’ll still keep posting here anyways.  Reason for slow art posts lately have been the fact that I now work a full-time job without pay (”for the experience”), so I’m a bit drained.

Messy painting of Jaina. She’s a cutie but I didnt really do her justice with this scribble. Maybe one to return to?

can i ask where and how you learned to draw your eyes? eyes are something i am struggling with. you draw the kind of eyes i like

This is a big question, honestly. I’ve been mulling about how to answer this for quite a while, because I don’t see myself as a person with enough skill to actually teach. That’s a bit boring, though, so I am going to do 2 things. First a quick step by step on the basics of how I do currently, and second some talk about my inspirations and people who I look to for learning. 

This is my basic approach. 1) I block in the shape. Note that I use a colour very close in value to the skin. 2) Pick a colour and block in the iris. My brush is set to have a bit of oppacity variation on pressure, so this is slightly lighter than the picked colour. This is important for:3) With the same colour and brush, I outline the iris and draw in the pupil. 4) Again, same brush and colour, I add a shadow from the eyelid. Its important to think of the eye as a form and not just a sticker plastered on. This helps show that. 5) The funnest part - I put in some spot highlights, accounting for where the lightsource is. Now, the real thing is that to draw eyes you kinda need to understand how the eye is build up. There’s a lot great resources talking about this. I’ve been refering to Sinix video on eyes (This whole series is really good) as well as Doxy’s notes (Which I’ll also generally recommend, as they are a treasure trove of neatly condensed and helpful information. Find ‘em here.)The thing is, though, reading tutorials isn’t enough. I will always recommend 2 approaches before or after you’ve read a tutorial on anything art related. Both deal with putting it to practice. 1 is *drawing from real life* and studying the thing in question. Not just in pictured (where possible), but actual life. Bring a sketchpad and draw it, again and again. And try to understand why it is the way it is. Use a mirror if necessary, to study your own face and eyes. 2 is looking at art that does the thing well, and trying to figure out *how* it does that. And tryinng to copy it. Not tracing, but analysing it and trying to replicate its result. Tutorials and speedpaints help here, but remember that actually drawing the thing is what builds skill. Always ask yourself if you wouldn’t gain more from just trying to draw it. Some wise dude once said that drawing is 10% theory and 90% practice (or around that), which I very much believe in. This got rather long. I hope this is useful in some way for you. Thanks for the question, and for reading if you’ve made it this far! I’ll get out of y’all’s feed now.

A bit earlier I crossed the 100 followers tresshold.  I know these are kinda small-fry numbers, but wanted to do a little thing to celebrate. Anyways - Thanks for following along, liking and sharing and most of all enjoying my art!

I’ve decided to open up for a couple of commissions. To start with, I am not doing colour, since I want to get a grip on it. And to be sure I can provide a service I can stand behind. 

COMMISSION STATUS: OPEN

Before contacting me about a commission, please read my Terms of Service. PRICES Black and white, simple single character scene : Starts at 25$ This is a guideline. A very complex scene or character will be slightly more expensive, if it takes me more time to do.  Extra characters : Starts at +15$ per character*

All of these are guidelines. When you contact me, I will offer you a price based on the actual proposed commission.

*This is based on complexity. I won’t charge extra for something like an anonymous penis or some tentacles or another generic anon character. 

DONT’S

I do both SFW and NSFW, though obviously this blog is focussed on NSFW-work.

Gore, Loli, Futa, Scat, Vore and Diaper stuff is a hard no.

If you have doubts, or any question, contact me and we can discuss the subject of the commission and see if we can figure something out. I thank you humbly for your interest and consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you. CONTACT

[email protected] or DM on tumblr.

Some things.  A Samus and a demoness from a drawpile session with @madslads They did a good Samus which im sure they’ll post :U Last is a quick /aco/ request fill.

[malkbox]

Fellow artist on discord posted a pic of a demon with a big ole’ donger and a scale ref. I basically couldn’t not draw this. 

Very messy sketches - I’m a bit rusty 

[malkbox]

So a bit of time ago the lovely @madslads did a nice shout-out for me, and since then I've been wanting to both do a nice little thanks, and also a “what is this blog”-info-post. So - What is this blog?

This is where I post the nsfw-art that I do. It exists so people know what they’re getting, and don't suddenly get spammed with smut for following what they thought was a landscape painting-log.  I tend to draw rough and bdsm-y stuff, though also regular pin-up and the occasional r34 fan-arts. Those are what you can expect from this blog. I try to at least post something every week, but the frequency and energy of my work tends to wax and wane. What are all these “/aco/ requests”? Do you take requests? I do not take direct requests. The /aco/ requests are from the drawthreads on that board, which can be a lot of fun (when they are not a flaming hell-pit, which is often). I tend to use them as practice and inspiration, as well as just a fun little way to do something nice for a stranger. I do, however, take commissions from time to time. Commissions? I do take commissions – Info coming very soon [will update here]

Apart from that, I just wanted to take the time to say a big thanks to all of the likes, retweets and follows. I’m just a small fish, so its been really motivating. I hope you all will enjoy following along as I try and improve my art in the future too.

(Oh yeah, also definitely check out @weirdteaste - They’re cool and do great art.)

hello! absolutely love your work. Your style is my favorite. I made this tumblr specifically so I could follow you. Very inspired. <3

My first ask, and such a nice one too! 

Really glad you enjoy my stuff - being inspiring is some of the best art can be, so I take that as a big compliment. I hope my stuff can keep living up to this, as I try and push further. 

[malkbox]

Further /aco/ stuff.
