I'm looking at my stacks of sketch pads and realizing I have a LOT of rough warm ups that I could draw over when my hands feel like working. Might fuck around and try some color washing too.

Line drawing in blue pencil of a man from behind, posing with one leg up on a chair and the other arm behind his back.
Blue pencil drawing of a man leaning back on a couch.
Blue pencil drawing of a man kneeling and facing forward.
Fingers wanted to draw, so I redid some warm up sketches of @hockneyspool.bsky.social from a @doableguys.bsky.social virtual session in 2023 (!!). #malenude #pencildrawing #sketches
Finally have some drawings to share and the image uploader isn't working. 2026 already failed.
Draw @xybkbry.bsky.social virtually this Sunday!

Gorgeous!

So peaceful ๐
So good!
A little art moment on my regular account. Solidarity today and in the days to come with all marginalized people.
Quick light blue pencil sketch of a semi-reclining man. Drawing looks normal if sloppy.
Abandoned attempt at a blue watercolor drawing of a reclining man. He is starting to look like a cross between Laura Palmer and Mr Freeze.
I tried to use a blue palette for my watercolor practice today, and it really didn't work for me. I often sketch with blue pencils, so I was surprised at how much I felt like I was rendering a drowning victim (sorry @bmanuel.bsky.social). Sticking with my favorite yellow-orange palette for now!
Thanks for posing, the light was great!
Beautiful, as always!
Color mixed media drawing of a man sitting on a couch reading a book. Headless, because I ran out of time. Model is Manuel Betancourt and it's also his book, Hello Stranger.
Wrestled the color pastels into submission with a little colored pencil on top. Model is @bmanuel.bsky.social for @doableguys.bsky.social, holding his new book Hello Stranger. #figuredrawing #malenude #watercolor #sketchbook
I'm very sorry. ๐ซ๐
The way Bluesky labels any nudity as "adult content" is part of this. Self-labeling holds this line a bit and lets us coexist in a public space. But if we're arguing about whether specific nudes are sexual or not, we've already lost.
(People still get to consent to see nudity, though. Self-label!)
Amen lol
I love the style of your wiggly lines!
These labels are adorable!
I love the chance to see Brad's tattoos up close.
Whatever paths lead people to show off their tattoos, I am here for it!
Love these! I am an easy sell on mugs: we have so many that we shifted our annual (pre-covid) holiday party to a coffee morning and used mug selection as a type of Rorschach test for our friends.
The second two of these are @italiannudedude.bsky.social who is also on here!

An old painting easel in front of a bare window, with light coming in from a different window casting stark lines of shadow across the room.

Youโll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017
