✈️ please!!

from the mystery poll, and because i am a woman of limited to little mystery when it comes to my wips, i hereby present to you:

actor!lando and marine researcher!oscar are stuck together in an airport waiting room.

————

“What’s one thing that would surprise most people to find out about you?” Lando asks.

“I raced go karts as a kid.”

“You did? I didn’t do karting, but I did ride motocross for a really long time, until my first theatre director told me it probably wouldn’t do me much credit to like, break my face. ”

“To your credit, it’s quite a face.”

“...Mr Piastri. Did you just flirt with me?”

Oscar’s face doesn’t change, but the tops of his cheeks turn pink.

“Not if you don’t want that.” Oscar mumbles.

Lando pulls his leg closer under the blanket, and leans back. Something between them’s changed. Gears are turning in his head, and he’s wondering how far they could push this. It’s been eight hours, and Oscar’s shown no sign that he’d be the person who would kiss and tell. Given how reticent Oscar generally seemed, Lando might even be flattered if he did.

“What if I did?” Lando says, smoother than he feels. “Want that.”

Lando’s cast the line into deep waters. Now he hopes for the bite.

Oscar’s mouth opens in surprise, and Lando wishes he could capture on film the open expression the other man has, the naked curiosity about where this could go, stark against the darkened windows and runway lights outside.

But then the tannoy goes again, and both of them snap their heads to the announcement, forced to break the chase.

Bonnie’s tragic origin story

For those of you wondering why Bonnie is so silly (nobody)

[sweetmaggie]

I feel like a scene like that would have changed things a bit in The Promise...

[stardust948]

Have some Reverse AU Ty Luko for the soul.

Found some sketches I did a while back (aka Sept-Oct) that I forgot to post.

i'm imagining the devastation chiyo would feel over losing one of her sketchbooks and ooouuggghhh she keeps them similar to a diary!! she can match a memory to most drawings bc she often draws her feelings. she keeps them all neatly organized and labeled on a bookshelf, sometimes flipping through them and feeling so much nostalgia it hurts. she's lost maybe one or two, be it from misplacing it or losing it to an accident of some sort, and i know she probably came close to crying if she didn't actually cry. those sketchbooks are dear to her ;v;

[puffpastrycrimewatch]

Poor guy

(This song kinda matches just change prom with festival and prom dress with suit (⁠･ั⁠ω⁠･ั⁠))

Man I just realized he can't even cry- alright I promise I'll draw him happy later ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

All my homies hate the rulers of Gahenna

My Buddie Week of Wips 🔥

These are sketches I did on Twitter a while ago, where I posted a different one every day. I made them during the day and uploaded them at night. It was a fun week!

At the end of the week, I ran a poll asking which one I should fully color and render… and of course (because you guys always love the dirty stuff), the winner was the WIP from day 6! ....these are just rough sketches....I usually redraw them (the lineart) because there are a bunch of small mistakes in all of them. But it was a fun way to come up with ideas for future drawings :)

If you wanna see how it turned out, check out my Patreon....there's the uncensored version and an extra pose too!

Drinking buddies!

((Rough WIP sketch of a painting that might be too ambitious, but I had it visualize in my head for days and I actually need to have it out before I forget about it completely))

[v8wr]

I can't right now on digital. I've never done it much, and I haven't really drawn much in a while, so I'm just posting the sketches. But I had an idea of an au where Buddy owns a bakery and I think it'd be REALLY cute for Buddy to make a gluten free cake for Chase, I think it's really funny if he decides he won't--just to spite Chase.

Also, MAD respect to anyone who can just...rough draft pictures digitally...HOW do you do it?!

hii i hope this is ok to ask but i love how fucking HUGE you make curly look, do you have any advice on how to draw muscular frames? :o

thankies!! i love drawing him Robust-Looking <3

as far as advice goes, when it comes to anatomy i always recommend the channel proko on youtube, they have all kinds of videos about how to draw anatomy with each area of the body broken down. basically, if you're trying for anatomical accuracy with muscles and stuff, their vids are a great way to grasp how muscles work!

as far as general shapes and vibes though, i have a couple quick tips of my own <3

the biggest part, if you can imagine, is proportions. typically tutorials will tell you the average shoulder width for a person is about 2-3 heads wide, so if you're making someone Bigger and Beefier, you'll wanna go past that a bit. (and making a character's head smaller is gonna make their body look bigger by comparison, so if you wanna go crazy, shrank that thang)

For example, Daisuke (who i draw as lean, but still with some muscle, especially in his arms) is 4 heads wide at his shoulders, while beefcake curly over here is 5 (sometimes more depending on the drawing lol). something as simple as broadening the shoulders already gives a character a beefier-looking silhouette.

[ID: Simple rough sketches of Daisuke and Curly from Mouthwashing with colored circles showing how many heads wide their shoulder width is. Daisuke is four, Curly is five. end ID]

~~~~

"but what if i don't know how to draw the muscles and am not going for realism/don't feel confident enough in that yet? how do i give a muscular vibe without as much detail?" FEAR NOT it's super easy. here we use the power of SHAPES!!

i draw jimmy and curly with the same "skeleton" or base frame, so i think they're a good example of this next bit. despite having the same bones, i broaden the fleshy parts on curly's limbs (focusing on his shoulders cuz he has big ass shoulders) and keep his upper arms wide before tapering down into his hands (muscles tend to be largest at the base of the limb and get smaller up to the hands/feet but there's plenty of design exceptions). i carry that shape language down into his legs (which i emphasize with his fitted calf-height boots). meanwhile jimmy stays fairly squared, especially when fully clothed

[ID: Simple sketches of Jimmy and Curly from Mouthwashing with notes describing their shapes. Jimmy has a rectangle over his body and is noted as being "relatively rectangular" and the shapes of his limbs are mostly straight. Curly has a trapezoid over his body and has a "top heavy shape" with limb shapes that taper down and in. end ID]

~~~~

and honestly, a good hack to make a character read as more muscular or robust is to give them a buddy that contrasts that. once again, jimmy will assist.

even in a simple drawing like this, giving jimmy the opposite tapering to his limbs just emphasizes curly's hugelargeness by comparison. it also shows that you don't need a lot of detail or realism to convey Beefiness

[ID: Another, more simplified doodle of Jimmy and Curly, pointing out that Jim's limbs taper outwards while Curly's taper in. end ID]

~~~~

another final quick tip i have is: the neck makes a difference!

people with more muscle tend to have thicker necks (it's because of the muscles there, if you can believe it) and it's kinda become one of my fav bits of drawing curly lol. idk why <3 necks fun to draw <3 for him, i draw his neck starting at the very edges of his face and widening out at the bottom to match the shape of his head and to flow a bit more into his trap muscles, but you could go Even Further Beyond if you so Choose. i've found this is a surprisingly good way to convey Beefy Person Beefy even if you don't have as much anatomical knowledge.

[ID: Four bust sketches of Daisuke and Curly comparing their necks. The first two show them both facing forwards. Daisuke's neck is slimmer and straight, while Curly's neck meets the edges of his jaw and has a wider base with higher trap muscles. The second two shows them in profile, with the back of Daisuke's cranium sticking out past his neck, while Curly's is even with his neck, showing how thick is is from the side. end ID]

~~~~

in review we got:

widen shoulders relative to the head to convey a Broad silhouette

taper limbs inwards from base to extremities to emphasize the shape/size of the muscles

give em a less muscular buddy for contrast

thick necks help a lot in conveying a muscular build

and of course, i know i only used men in these examples, but these tips will work just fine regardless of a character's gender. please draw more beefy women ily <3

i hope this made sense and helps you and whoever else might see this uwu

if anyone has any questions about it i will. Try. to answer them. making these posts is oddly difficult lol

Sketches I forgot to post this week

The first one is definitely representative of the couch theory that was brought back from the dead.

The second sketch is based off a one-shot of my new 9-1-1 series on AO3 that should be posted in soon (by soon I mean within the new few weeks 😅)
