I'd love to know your favourite media to work with. I prefer oils and drawing, though digital art looks amazing and I want to try it someday.

I don't draw much these days but I always loved charcoal, black biro and fineliners - monochrome all the way :D

Ooh yes, outlining is great.

I like your drawing style.

Very kind of you.
The first one is probably a 30 sec sketch and the second is a joke about a song.

Acrylic paint, prismacolors, copics markers. I enjoy blending color more than anything!

Light and time. Those are the basic materials for photography.

It is indeed very satisfying.

I like acrylic because it dries so fast, and I can layer scores of colors on top of my washes.

I do my sketches in Adobe Photoshop, slicing and dicing images and stitching them into something I can use from ideas in my head.

As sated elsewhere I like to paint female nudes that are fat: society dehumanizes fat people, but fat women in particular :x I also like to paint sci-fi images that look like they are from the 1950's, something you'd see in National Geographic or Colliers Magazine. Lastly, I also do native-California, birds, trees, and flowers :D

I love watercolour and pen and ink.... but I've also gone through other phases.... I was super into mixed media, woodworking, and collage at different points....

The beauty of digital art is that there is no cleanup afterwards! :lol:

Where do you source your models?

I'm also super into nudes, but it is hard to find unconventional models...... so I'm always excited to find heavy set or advanced age models!

I use Firefox as my browser, DuckDuckGo as my search engine, and then Ctrl+Shift+P, for a private browser--never use Google, they don't need to know what you're browsing for :? then turn off the safe search.

I do searches for BBW's or SSBBW's: yeah, you see a lot of nasty stuff :roll: but just skip over them. If I find something, I import it into Adobe Photoshop where I can change the images. I usually end up making the bellies, arms, and especially the bottoms bigger 8)

I also do searches for women's hair styles from specific periods say, 1890's or go onto eBay and look for old post cards and photos.

Anyway, that's my method :)
