Any advice for nsfw type art? I do try with my current style, but it just doesn't seem to be working that well. And if the answer is practice, I do that every day with little to no progress. It's sad man. Woman? Idk your gender so I won't assume anything.
When drawing NSFW art, the most important thing is obviously the human body. It actually doesn’t matter what kind of style you’re currently trying to draw, be it an anime style with simplified anatomy and exaggerated proportions or a more western style, the very first thing you’ll have to do is to learn the real human anatomy.
So yes, my answer is daily practise. However, if that’s not working for you, you’re probably doing it in an inefficient way. I tried alot of different things in the past, and it turned out that the best way to learn for me is to use a 3D model software to create your own references. Those 3D references don’t have the problem of lense distortion, like photographs do.
When I started, my daily practise was to create a random pose as a reference and try to replicate it. When I was done, I overlayed the reference with my drawing. That way you can see what you’ve done wrong and what not. Next step is to clear your canvas and try to do it better this time. It’s tedious, but you’re instantly learning from your mistakes. And that’s what it’s all about. Of course those 3D models usually don’t look that great, but it’s giving you the right idea of the human body. Once you’re feeling more comfortable with it, you can try to alter the anatomy and proportions to your likings to make it more attractive.
I think it’s a neat technique for practising. Also, don’t pay attention to someone, that tells you that using references is cheap. You absolutely have to use references for pretty much everything you want to draw, until you feel comfortable enough to do it all from your mind.
Sorry for the late reply, I haven’t received any asks in a billion years, so I wasn’t expecting that. Also, I hope I got your question right. If not, just ask again. lol
