Soccer Boys (coloring practice, version 2)



Same drawing, different colors. The boy in the background is too red, but I like the white lines on the field. All the hair is too red...

SX "Goo" Hoody (colored)



I've been practicing my Copic markers coloring technique on this drawing. (I think this is my sixth stab at it.) I'm not usually good at practicing over and over on the same thing, but this has been a very good learning experience for me. I've finally got the hair shine how I want it.

I changed the splatter on the hoodie a bit to make it read better. (whiteout and PhotoShop). I also discovered that my scanner doesn't pick up the differences between the two shades of red I used (dark and medium), so there isn't much shading on the hoodie. The scanner picks up blue really well, so there is too much shading on his jeans (they are supposed to look faded/worn, not shiny). From now on, I'll try shading reds using a complimentary (green) color.

Boy Slut in Boxers (coloring practice)


A drawing from '07 that I finally got around to coloring. I'm getting more confidence with markers, especially for shade/highlight on skin tones and for hair.

Is the plaid on the boxers distracting?

Driving Home - color study


I tried a new technique (for me). I colored the drawing just by tracing, and then when the color was done I went in and drew in the black lines. I think overall the drawing got muddy - I think I need to try a simpler palette, but its a nice first attempt. Foot lovers may appreciate that those are probably the two best feet I've ever drawn.

Master Tristan and Jock


This is probably one of my favorite drawings (I did the line art in 2007). I really like the way Tristan's hair and ass turned out. (erm, I guess its the jock that Tristan is "turning out"...). Anyway, I finally colored it and added a caption.

coloring practice


I haven't been sure if I should limit my posts here to strictly Boy Sluts or not. Probably nobody but me cares... at least I'm trying to post something every day.
Today I spent a bunch of time sorting my (Copic brand) markers. I had a lot more than I thought I did. (They cost almost $5 each... and I had more than fifty...) I've been trying to get better at coloring, and I think my practice is paying off.
