hoping for work to go nicely this week~

[Helsinki Harlot]

Mizzie; Have fun at work. <3 I kinda crashed right after you left. xD I swear I only put my head down for two seconds!

Neirra; I forgot what I nicknamed you... must've been a poor nickname. And yay for breakfest.

Espy; I'm glad you're liking it so far. I think you'll be happy with the final product if everything goes according to plan. :3

Obbie; Daaaw. You sweet talker you. :]

WS; Mornin' and you didn't miss too much really.

[Tiva]

Nice WIP Hel! I hope Espy likes hers...

[Espy]

I'm chuckling at the huge amount of references she pulled up XD

[Alpha]

Nice, looks like it shall be quite interesting.

[Helsinki Harlot]

Espy; I like being thorough!! xD I have every single picture you linked me to pasted together.

Tiva; :D Thanks. I'm so glad there's interest in my WIP's. xD;; 'Cause i take a lot of them. I have a huge collection of WIP pictures of just about every single piece I've ever made.

Alpha; I'm personally excited 'cause once again, I'm doing the stupid ambitious thing and trying a pose I've never attempted before. xD

[Espy]

Poses are fun. Poses plus perspective...that's what I'm working on.

[Alpha]

Hey, that's the benefit of being an artist is that you can try new things, and they can still turn out amazing.

[Helsinki Harlot]

I've spent my entire career as an artist avoiding eyes, feet, hands, and complicated poses. I've recently become more adventurous tho'. Mainly ' cause I'm getting paid. xD;; I tend to take short cuts and hide things when I do some of my personal doodles but if I'm getting paid it's like a job and that means you do it right.

[Alpha]

That's definitely the attitude to have!

[Espy]

I actually haven't drawn much recently. That needs to get fixed.

Feet are a bit bothersome, but hands and eyes and faces are fun. Well, hands are a bit iffy, but...yeah.

[Helsinki Harlot]

I've been slowly branching out from drawing hands as mittens and getting a bit more detail, but you'll notice that the hands always kinda look mitten-y. xD; And I hope that now that's not all you'll see.

Just angles/perspective is super hard for me because legs and arms confuse the hell out of me.

Alpha; Yeah, it just gets me in over my head sometimes. I think this is the most males I've ever drawn in my life too. xD

[Alpha]

Well, if it's nakie arts then at least it's an excuse to do some interesting "research".

[Espy]

You draw proportions really well, though.

I have...issues...with people drawing bad anatomy. I know that's a lot of people, but...I make anaomy a top priority in my art, so when people draw poses that aren't physically possible, I do my awkward cringing...-ishness.

[Helsinki Harlot]

Haha, most of my research is of that type when I'm doing body study/poses.

I'm glad my response works for both of ya'll sort of. xD Let's just say I spend a lot of time looking at pictures of people. Not just porn and naughty things but in general. I have a massive reference collection that spans several areas of my computer. I haven't managed to organize it all together yet.

I never draw without a reference in mind or at hand. If it's something I'm familiar with I don't need it, like I'm pretty good with hips/torso, especially for women and kinda how long it should be, and thighs. Breasts still elude me sometimes if the arms are raised or stretched at angles to make sure that the flesh follows correctly.

But yeah. Porn and naked pictures. All over my computer. xD I prefer them to refs with a lot of clothing on it because then I don't understand the body structure.

I also know all of the main bone structures in the body and have a reference with all of the muscle structure of a woman and a man and differences between them.

Which is to say; thanks Espy. xD That's always what ends up hardest for me to do. I draw and re-draw and am always grateful for the lasso tool and being able to stretch things at will. xD
