Description
Ho'Kay, confession time. I found a fetish artist and, when I looked at their work, I noticed they had a simple, unintimidating color palette with shading equally as approachable and (with some effort) reasonably easy to duplicate: so that's what I did.
Some things I learned:
1)When drawing a thicc posterior, such as the one above, gravity is a thing; so the booty will overlap the fingers when being squeezed.
2)You have to be conscious of where the fingers are, where they squeeze is where the flash will overlap.
3)The fingers are going to thin into "claws", because the flesh is pouring around them, like a hand in Jell-O.
4)Blending in Photoshop, with the default tools, is fiery garbage. What I realized--when I finally just knuckled down and tried to blend at all-- was that a soft brush with the hand-sensitivity and air-brush settings turned on is all you need; just brush a darker color over a lighter one and vice versa. (That's all you need, baby!)

Correction: it's all my basic bitch-ass needs, because I am not an illustrator; and I'm not interested in being Ross Draws or Marc Brunet. That's pretty, that's god-tier, and too complicated for me to ever bother to aspiring to, on top of being a published writer.

I don't need a semi-realistic style of painting or shading to make a compelling image.

I did this color job (for the most part) just miming the line art and following the (what seemed to be) three color-based shading; but I'm going to color this again and see if I can use the color theory I learned from Marc Brunet's tutorial on skin to see what happens. (Personally, I think this skin tone is a little too cartoon-y.)
