Thank you so much! Comments like these really make my day, because I'm constantly looking at other artists and hoping some day that I can draw like them. The idea that my sketches are inspiring someone else to draw really cheers me up.

I was struggling pretty hard with eyes the other day in an ecchi pictures. Every time I tried to make someone look like their eyes were unfocused with teh smexiness or whatever, they just ended up looking sort of derpy, or bored. XD I guess we all have stuff to learn.

Thank you! I know there's still a lot of things I struggle with (like drawing guys for instance. v_v) but I wanted to put together some advice/sketch pages for the people who have been sweet enough to blow my ego and ask for said tutorials. XD

If you need a model...

I do! There are lots of fellows who model for me, which I know seems strange. Women are much easier for me to draw, I assume because I am one myself. But men I tend to draw standing with balance or posture that's... effeminate, I guess is the word I'm looking for. So the more photographic references I have to draw from, the easier it becomes for me.

I could pose for you if you want and I assure you that I am as far from "effeminate" as a man can be!

Haha, it's not just the build. I didn't realize until I'd been drawing for a while that my male characters never looked right because I couldn't draw them with the proper posture/balance/whatever.

I think that an affeminate man could be perfect for a manga... they always looks a little (or more than a little) like that..

Yeah, but even if they're skinny, their posture and balance looks different from the female characters. XD Even when I draw a guy with a beard, he looks... girly. XD It's definitely something I need to work on.

I think it's good when you have something to work on, don't you know? When you have nothing more to work on it's all so... boring!!

I guess. Honestly, I would probably be content to draw sexy ladies all day every day, LOL. One of my teachers described it as the aesthetic I devote myself to, which sounds WAY more professional and cool than "Man, I love drawing titties."

If you are inspired from yourself you must have such a pair of perfect titties!
