Finally, some good okay fucking art!
I'm pretty happy with this, especially for only my third study.

I wanted to study from a heavier model because here we stan all body types and by that I mean I will produce fetishistic art of literally everyone. Which...is a little weird? But I hope people will see it as "hey, that sexy person looks like me" and not "hey, this is creepy and weird".

Also by plus-sized I mean this was kind of the highest-quality erotic reference I could find after looking at pictures of naked women for like an hour. I need to try better/source reference from a better place.

Anyway.

Some takeaways:

• I made some new brushes, they're pretty good.
• Good gesture
• Value is ok but not great--I squinted a little but need to squint even more.
• Taking advantage of layers and digital tools is great, I don't know why I ruled it out before
• Drawing an outline first was sooo soooo useful. Do that all the time.
• I feel like this process is going to be not useful for me when I do comic-style art, which is what I prefer...feel that out more next time. Still, value studies will never go to waste.
• The airbrush, it turns out, is amazing. This next picture is the first one but after airbrushing for like five minutes.

EDIT: Oh yeah haha I also cheated on this one and took like 30 extra minutes whooops
