I don’t know I will just live it like that

The yaoi industrial complex claims another victim...

>>6677440

I love cbsg this shit too weird and niche to post anywhere else

>>6672007
link to the discord?

>>6677440
idk who this character is but this is like if you saw dominic fike when you were 15 and he shattered your psyche mixed with...i actually can't think of anything that would give someone a heroin kink aside from doing it themselves, maybe too much ao3 hurtfics
and i mean this in the best way possible

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>6672007
muh simple guy in the OP? Thanks anon. Here have another

>>6677901
I don't do heroin, something just came over me in that moment... Very fair assertations, I have spent too much time on ao3 lol and thank you non

Big dick sunday
>>6678048
Clean styles with minimal line weight change is peak, I really like your stuff :>

>>6678213
I've been loving the lighting in your recent pieces

>>6678220
thanks, tryna force myself to draw backgrounds more

>>6678215
You're too kind. Here, have another.

>>6678283
hear me out

just found a drawing I liked and tried to draw it similar but not copying the same exact colours.

>>6678335
Yyyeeesss???

>>6674940
This is cute. Blog?

>>6678488
Cute and good

>>6677901
Scary, this seems so highly targeted at me, which is hilarious because it wasn’t directed at me but if it was meant for me lmao

also I know people might be confused reading this but I could be wrong so I might be saying nonsense anyway

>>6678532
We are all the same inside (people who like gaunty males with eyebags and have read too much yaoi)

>>6678539
I mean sure but no you don’t get how highly targeted it is

>>6678549
You're really into dominic fike and injectables?

>>6673639
hmm

>>6678552
Oh you wish you knew but I’m not explaining, so don’t worry about it and I’m probably wrong anyway so no need to blog

Should I be worried about posting "ambiguously aged" characters on Twitter?
I have finished pieces but one character (famous) is 14 and the other is 16. I still say all characters are aged up just in case, but I also want to pursuit SFW art venues and I'm afraid people will think I'm a pedo and cancel me.
I'm thinking maybe I should just stop drawing shotas? Laovaan only draws twinks and nobody thinks he's a pedo and he's not been cancelled, maybe I should go that route?
Please help.

>>6678769
you sound like a pussy desu

>>6678283
forearm muscle flexion/extension is inverted imo lineart is overkill

>>6678769
plenty of professional artists are open shotacons, if anything it will prob improve your chances of getting into art professionally. popular twitter posters will shun you but not most industry professionals.

if you want exposure while drawing shota just try to follow/interact with "proship" ppl. they will be mostly mentally ill middle aged fujoshis but an audience is an audience & people with niche fetishes will be more willing to commission you. also a lot of them will be artists themselves.

for example there's a dude named scepterno on tumblr/twitter that posts about shotacon nonstop on all his porn alts but he's worked on multiple cartoons so clearly they dont care

>>6678958
Scepterno only has a lot of followers because he draws haikyuu tranny yaoi, he doesn't even draw actual shota much.
>popular twitter posters will shun you but not most industry professionals.
For now, eventually the popular twitter artists will be the ones working on shows too. If you're a western artist like most of us are it will make things harder if that's the industry you want to work in. Unless you add queer proship in your bio and say you draw it to cope with being buttfucked by your uncle lmao

Bunny!

>>6674276
Love the colors here!
>>6678213
Great compositions you've been doing!

>>6679035
What is "queer proship"?

>>6678958
>plenty of professional artists are open shotacons
Do you have examples?

>there's a dude named scepterno on tumblr/twitter
You mean this?
https://scepterno.tumblr.com/
The art is really bad and the characters are ugly and you mean to say he has animated cartoons? Also I see no shotas there.

I got 10 retweets bros, I became a celebrity

>>6679517
You made it

>>6678488
Ridiculously cute

I love spoder boy! cutest tag team

NTA but tb choi personally surprised me
>https://baraag.net/@tbchoi

>>6679750
Asians don't count not western

>>6679773
Ignore this I got them confused for a different artist. Is that account actually real? It mentions nfts and seems abandoned..

>>6679777
When you check out the NFT account its followed by other industry professionals or they're mutuals, there would have been an uproar if her works were stolen and sold for thousands, and lastly baraag would be the only place to safely post a semi secret NFT account imo. Seems pretty real to me.

>>6679785
why do professionals use the same name for their porn accounts?

Really hard to draw men as someone who only draws girls lel

>>6681395
the face is okay but the body feels shapeless and fridge-like. Just because its a man it doesnt mean he cant have a waistline. study more bishie artists, ganbare bro

>>6681383
wish i could paint like you, i really like your colors

>>6681406
to be grind is to be practise carefully bro

>>6681403
Hmmm the curvelines work differently from women and my main problem is estimating hip length since women are wider and trying to give him a chest without turning it into a bust lol.

Thanks for the advice anon!

>>6681417
think of it as an inverted triangle

>>6673639
Fix this instead.

I wish this was my first ever exposure to porn because I'd probably love it

colors are making me mad

>>6681600
Maybe more blue

>>6681600
Don't really think it's the colors.

>>6681600
cute boys, the values grouping are WAY too dark in the background as shown here >>6681792

>>6675229
>>6677209
thank you!
>>6679309
That outfit is pretty! and he is very cute too
>>6680870
I really like the shading (specially on his boots)
>>6681395
The face is nice, I like the shoujo manga inspiration, I do agree you should use an inverted triangle shape to help you with drawing the body
>>6681496
right where he belongs
>>6681600
beautiful! the values might be too dark

>>6682338
cute! i like the light, looks cozy
>>6682450
also very cute, are u still working on your visual novel?

I habe fallen into a new fandom and drew a lot, so here is a more recent piece

I still don’t know how to make men that are “feminine attractive” without just hitting them with the anime beam. Curse of only drawing old fucks I guess
>>6682450
Beautiful rendering anon
>>6682466
Absolutely in love with the umbrella

>>6682466
Very nice but needs different smile

>>6682450
>>6681430
Yea men seem to be more angular and the chest contour lines start further apart. Feels weird that the waist would end up very thin after that. Was a fun few days study.

These ugly bastards are pretty cute to me (try and ignore the retarded jokes all over this)

>>6683081
>Your comic gets fanart at the cost of it being by schizo fujos
This is the goal actually

>>6683452
I thought the one on the left had a meme flag before I googled the bi flag again.

Yall pedos

This one is going to take a long long while, I didn’t even finish the sketch yet

>>6683649
I love the lines, did you use pen with low opacity?

>>6683786
It’s one of those soft air brushes that have less opacity at the edges and more opacity in the middle

>>6682450
what are your inspirations anon? im really digging your faces and rendering

>>6682529
Thank you, i am happy i managed to make it look good.
>>6682546
I know what you mean still have to practise expressions a lot more. Especially now that i draw characters that have a lot and weird expressions.

>>6682466
Thank you, Yes I'm still working on it, I'm almost done with the script and I have most art of it. Very pretty art btw!
>>6682529
Thank you! His face looks pretty attractive to me
>>6683452
cute boys!
>>6684099
thanks! I try to grab things here and there from artists I like but I would say some of my main inspirations are 82pigeon, Yone kazuki and Lack

>>6682450
If somebody told me the face and the clothes are made by different artists I would believe it

>>6683649
I love him! Do you have any socials I can follow you on?

>>6683649
cool

This drawing is illegal in some countries.

>>6685089
It's illegal to have a goatee without a license in Massachusetts

>>6685107
I wish this applied everywhere

rkgk

>>6685478
Your best work by far, keep doing backgrounds

>had a realization at 6am after trying to sleep for hours that my story would probably be better without multiple gay scenes
It hurts fujosisters

>>6685494
why? men insert yurishit into their stories always, look at meguka.

>>6685521
Madoka tier homosexuality is good, I was thinking about nsfw scenes

if he knew what nfts were he would make them his entire personality

>>6685544
Reminds me of this

>>6685669
I look like this

>>6685494
just make it subtle and implied like griffith and guts

>>6683649
Not sure if I am making it better or worse. The moment I start rendering things get out of hands

Getting out of me zone (almost)

>>6685669
was unironically the inspo

>>6685708
What's your approach to coloring? Multiply/color modes or just painting straight on top of the base in normal mode?

nice AI

Sometimes I think about creating an alt account to post stuff I don’t want friends to see

>>6686639
Do it

>>6686381
I make a new layer and paint a normal color on top
Well except this time because the trousers have a pattern and no way I’m going to paint all that again.
I don’t think it matters though, you can get the same results either way. The method you find more comfortable is the one you should use

I wish i was a lesbian. Lesbians and straight men have it so easy, there are thousands of resources on how to draw cute girls, good pictures of pretty naked women are dime a dozen on the internet, there are a bunch of really good coomer artists to study from. Meanwhile, i cant even find good male pictures to study from. All of the figure drawing male photo sets are of ugly, old, and fat men.

>>6686965
who are the old masters

>>6686538
you can do it nonnie. Just gotta work on your confidence like I have ^^ (also the art app I used has auto shapes which are a godsend for me)

>>6686965
can relate to life's difficult cards. I became serious about art because there was a lack of quality femgaze content. I want to make my ideas a reality yet the market for this sort of stuff is scarce at best. Even lesbians and bi woman artists have to resort to pandering to horny dudebros to make ends meet. Any planned passions and self-indulgence go down the drain lest they anger self-entitled cumbrains.

crosspost from oc thread
also slightly different because I reworked the jaw
officially version 3 of the same drawing kms

>>6686965
my favourite men are ugly old and fat </3

redrew someones oc

>>6687380
>my favourite men are ugly old and fat </3
i wish i had your trash taste. Finding cute male refs is a pain

>>6687636
Can’t help that I’m blessed! But, have you tried looking through male model portfolios? IMG Model has a pretty long list of models on their website with their name, portfolio, and socials listed. They’re not usually naked on IMG models but you can often find them naked or in shapewear elsewhere most often. You could try looking at underwear models or pornstars too if you like the look of any of them. It’s not really traditional figure study but they’re usually high quality photos with good lighting and nice poses.

Butt too long and flat and lower half of legs looks short

Have some street fighters. Not my usual Bishounen stuff but figured Id try it

>>6688130
The forearm should be slightly shorter and don’t go pass the shoulder
And the ass is like falling apart to one other side
I recomendó you to look at “jack o challenge” pose. There are plenty of pics with good anatomy using a similar pose
>>6688240
Those pecs are relaxed. They shape changes when the shoulders go upwards

Wheres a good place for finding reference of cute guys kissing? I want to learn how to draw kissing better.

>>6688277
Gay porn tag:kissing

>>6688282
Yeah that works

What do you think of this artist?

I follow him. It's kinda interesting how many bara artists draw dad stuff.

Why is this general so bad at drawing hands

>>6689791
Hands are hard

>>6689791
fujos

>>6689791
to be fair no one on this board is good at drawing hands

>>6689895
I looked through my old art for my most egregious yaoi hand

>>6688240
Nice job
>>6686923
Guitar is too flat to be a guitar
plus it looks real long.
I like the colors tho

>>6688274
ye, i tried to fuck with a bit

>>6690119
I mean something like this. Like the nipples should be draw a bit higher, and the pecs should be less curve and draw with more stiff lines. I do know how to explain it exactly
>>6689976
What do you mean by too flat? Electric guitars are very thin. Or do you mean it needs more details on the cover? I agree it’s easily the worst part of the drawing

finished drawing this profile sheet of my character

>>6690238
are you gonna post the finished version

Me rn...

>>6690242
probably tom
some hands n feet studies

>>6689496

Take this shit to the shota thread

>>6678048

>>6695366
I'm on it

>>6695330
they are but you've been using catbox for lewd why did you change that now, no one could complain when you do. did you want more (you)s, because I don't want to see the shota argument again for the 10th time

>>6695407
there is no dick, learn what porn is

>>6695407
Can we remove the shota rule already?
They already have a containment thread and don't need to be contaminating others.

>>6695413
Check the rules out again tourist, it says nsfw and suggestive

>>6695413
>>6695421
migrate to lsg if you want to be in a thread full of pedophiles so baldy
>>6695414
pretty much

>here comes the shota argument because a shotafag couldn't help themselves again

>>6695421
>>6695424
you just want to generate more and more pointless drama.

>>6695432
How is pointing the rules out for the retard ignoring them drama??

>>6695436
same as the "don't post real life pics" rule somebody added. /cbsg/ is a distopy ruled by discord trannies with too much free time

>>6695429
>>6695432
shotaniggers will NEVER be welcomed here, simple as.

>>6695432
Ey, look on the bright side, the thread is active again, really proves that drama is the life blood of this board.

>>6695440
>Cute boy study general
>No! Stop drawing cute boys!

>>6695439
nice try pedophile

>>6695439
>noooo nooo they won't let me post real pictures of children
Bruh even lsg has that rule wtf

>>6694737
thankyou anon
Here's a drawing I've been working on

>>6695449
Based drawer

>>6695448
imagine being able to post pictures of children on fucking twitter but not 4chan, we have less rights than them

>>6695440
FUCKING THIS

>>6672007
OP IF YOU ARE READING PLEASE CONSIDER REMOVING THE SHOTA RULE FOR GOOD. THANK YOU <3

If they start posting without using cat box I think I’ll ditch this thread. Love you guys but I’m not looking at shota porn so sorry. Really irritating too when they’ve already got a general. I don’t mind the SFW because I just pretend they aren’t lusting over little boys.

>6695445
'cute boy' is colloquial for attractive guys and we requested a name change countless times which always went ignore pedonigger, try a keep up

>>6695451
Are you anti shota psyoping right now? Holy shit at least try to act normal newfag.

>>6695445
Boy as in male and male as in adult.
Stop trying to profligate outside of your containment zone.

>>6695330
Fuck you you stupid faggot you did this

>>6695455
>>6695457
Consider renaming these generals to cute males/adult males/ adult guys instead of having boy in there you retards.

>>6695456
reading and comprehension isn't your thing

>>6695460
>we requested a name change countless times which always went ignore pedonigger
kill yourself

>>6695462
>Cute boy study
>Why am I getting cute boys?
kys yourself.

>>6695459
not my fault, I already post in /cbsg/ to avoid triggering /beg/tards. People who complain about shota should go back to /beg/ desu

>>6695461
It isn't yours if you can't understand that that means real pictures are another level of off-putting that would turn the board into a glowie honeypot. The argument is always it's not real so it's not hurting anyone, can you not understand how lusting for and sharing images of people's real kids would be horrendous.
>>6695465
Retard you broke the lewd rule catbox it next time like you already have been

>>6695465
>People who complain about shota should go back to /beg/ desu
based

>>6695467
honey nobody is going to turn 4chan into a honey pot for posting pictures of chidlren you can find in google image search

Just remove the shota rule for good and we will have no more of these pedoniggers shitting up the thread, simple as.

And the name change, if possible.

>>6695471
Are you capable of understanding how real pictures would be off-putting to the majority of people. How mentally deficient are you, your mind has been so warped you're not capable of the introspection needed to fathom being a pedophile not being normal.

>>6695475
>looking at real life is off puting
>your mind has been warped
the irony of your post

>>6695472
You're the ones who named it cute "boy" study general instead of Handsome "Man" study general.

Stop responding to nodraw bait.you aren't going to win.

>>6695486
I had a reply typed out but this message freed me, you're right anon, you're right.

>>6695481
Also consider removing problematic terms such as "Handsome" and "cute" or "attractive" since it denotes youthful traits which correlates to neoteny which is a dog whistle for >>6695330

>>6695486
You are wise, anon. Very wise.
It is time to continue on the road of improvement and gains.
No matter, we can only hope OP will deliver us from this.

>>6695449

>>6695496
Really nice colors gmi

>>6695496
work on the pose first before adding colors
pose is too stiff

>>6695496
Head on the guy seems really tall and narrow.

>>6695511
>>6695500
how does this look?

Yeah if people are just going to post straight up shota porn here I’m done.

>>6695557
relax it's just some retard who cant read when there's already lolishota and porn containment thread.

>>6695557
People aren't it was one guy who didn't read the rules. Even if they did it'd get deleted anyway explicit stuff isn't allowed past /b/.

>>6695539
Better but face looks big

haven't done a realistic type drawing but It ended up reminding me of jojo

Do I have a future as a political comic artist?

>>6696314
I don't understand what this is trying to convey especially the real children part because we did have shotaposters campaigning against the injustice of not being able to post 3dpd

>>6696464
Hello discord

Perspective is weird. Like the chest looks like it’s looking forward, but the lower part of the body is looking to another direction. Like, it’s not anatomically incorrect, but with that shoulder behind the body, and the clothes in different perspectives, it just looks weird.

Cute style!

Very pleasant to look at.

I like how this turned out but I think I himbofied this character a little too much. I wanna add a little bit of “degen” to the mix.

Make sure to give your boys plenty of outdoor time
