I've been on a roll lately. 3 pictures in the last seven days. For me that's pretty darn impressive. I guess it's more like 2 1/2 since I actually sketched this one some time ago.

My friend Gemma has had to go sometime without a drawing. She threatend to beat me up if I didnt do one for her. After I won that little fight I still offered to do it. This is the result... so to speak. I stripped her down to her undies and left her tied while I went out for a bit.

Unfortunately for Gemma her rommate came home. There is some bad blood between those two. And as you can see the roomie couldnt resist the chance to put Gemma where she belongs.

I liked the coloring I did for this. I wanted to go for something softer after the last drawing. Im upset about this drawing though. I've long made use of photo references when sketching, but in the past i've tried to make a strong effort to move away from the source photo so that it doesnt just look as if I did some cheap photoshop trick or something. Alas with this one much of the source photo still is represented.

The sofa for one thing. I could have drawn something different but I just really liked how it looked. Plus the body types are more like the women in the photo than Gemma and her roommate (Gemma is more slender and her roomie is shorter), but I expected that.

In the future I hope to again get more seperation between the source material and the end result

Aly carnapped

Took a few weeks off from drawing before putting this one together. I've become good friends with Alysha since running into her on Deviantart. She'd kindly asked me for another drawing and as is my nature I told her I'd get around to it. Of course other things kept getting in the way or I just wasn't in the mood. Bless her heart for her patience.

Orginally she was supposed to be tied in the trunk of the car but I found that didn't work. Alysha has absolutely gorgeous feet (which I do not do justice here) and I wanted to show them. I would not have been able to do that at this angle if I had her in the trunk so instead I put her in the backseat.

One thing I did differently is that I drew the picture at full size. Usually I do the rough sketch at oh... 1000x1000 and then crop and such accordingly. After that I increase the size usually by about 250-300% for coloring and such. One of the problems with this is that the lines end up being rather thick and I dont like how that looks in a colored pic. The lineart is far less dominating here and im pleased with the result.

The big problem I ran into is what to have her wearing. As i've mentioned before I rarely plan these drawings. Usually I just have a rough idea in my head and sketch until I find something I want to work with. About the only thing I knew is that her legs and feet had to be showing. I debated between just putting her in a top, or a more secretarial look. It was Aly herself who suggested the little black dress and i love her for it.

The coloring went by much faster than I expected. I spent more time playing with the hues and such than I did actually laying the colors down. I really wanted to get a more uniform look to the color so I didn't push the contrast as much as I have in the past (see the last picture for an example of that).

Im not QUITE pleased with how the pantyhose turned out but I cant decide if that is because of the color or the lineart.
