Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have seen that last one before, maybe in your dA?

You really have a way with making sexy women. What inspires you? What're you thinking about?

Do you ever draw guys?

always loved your work, kitteh. very inspiring. you've got a way with the female figure that i wish i had. the line work you put into these really enhances them and shows off the figures very nicely.

the blisterplease.jpg one looks pretty good. the composition is pretty fun although i was confused with the hand. only when you noted that it wasn't hers was what made it click for me.

Your line quality is just lovely. heart It's so feminine and fits your subjects perfectly!

You should draw more!

@tish -- mhm, several of these are in my dA, i think (..i haven't been there in quite some time).
i catch myself staring at people and the way light plays on things quite a bit, whether i'm out and about or in a familiar place with familiar people, but i guess that's typical artist behavior. i guess dreams are another typical answer. i tend to randomly visualize things. beyond that, pin-up and fetish photography/film are an obvious big one, and art-wise, my favorites generally fall within art nouveau, surrealism, and lowbrow/pop-surrealism.. i guess my favorite thing is the idea of taking something pretty and delicate and making it a little disturbing or somehow corrupted, the whole loss of innocence thing. or things that are just straightforwardly provocative.

@tawney -- thank you. <3 i have noticed that my preoccupation with bodies has lead to a weakness when it comes to faces; i've been trying to keep an eye on that recently, but i think it's going to take more vigorous practice than i've been putting into it~

@sporkii -- ha, yeah, i tried to make the skintones noticably different to avoid that confusion, but i probably should have made the contrast between them more stark. :B

@dr. v -- it's just i.. how am i supposed to so enjoy drawing something that doesn't have hips emo

@page boy -- <3
haha, i don't knooow. when i first started going for it, after attempting to draw anime fanart and finding it horribly boring, the first gallery i ever spent a good amount of time at was elfwood (lulz), which introduced me early on to artists like wen hsu and stephanie pui-mun law (i actually just checked back there to find their names, ha. man, i loved wen hsu)~ and i think a big part of why i draw girls in the manner i do is growing up with that body type, esp. big hips, prodtruding hipbones, feet with high arches.. it's easier for me to build upon what i'm familiar with, and i've always been attracted to girls with that slender-but-voluptuous thing going on, so i guess i've surrounded myself with what i like to draw.
the only serious art class i took was in my freshman year of high school, the ap art program they had there, which i quit after a few months due to not finding it that rewarding.. :/ i've never had the opportunity to take a figure drawing class or sit in on a class with a live nude. ;;

my boys are not that interesting~

and and
thank you all for the kind comments i didn't address. heart

(i talk too much.)

i really love being able to see that whole 'artists subconsciously place parts of themselves in their art' thing in effect; it's pretty remarkable when you see a photograph of someone and notice some resemblance to the way they've come to draw people~
ha, yeah; i rarely draw huge boobs or anything because i just.. don't know how they really work. :'D
i like your way of going about anatomy. :3


that's how i initially drew it, with her leg sticking directly out and basically hidden from view apart from her lower calf/foot, but i couldn't get it to look right to me. j~j
