Posted yesterday on my IG to start the year with a pose from @mathiasnat.bsky.social Graphite and some charcoal. #art #nude #figure #dessines #dibujos #desnudo #artista #artist

Updated shadows on the “c-shaped” fingers and then I added the new pose with the “helping hand” on top. #erotic #art #vulva #artista #dibujos #dessines

Adding to the previous post. Check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. Free-hand ink in an A5 Blackwing notebook. #erotic #art #vulva #labia #dibujos #dessines #artista

Working on some closeups and more intimate works.

Been a while, but I did another online session a couple of nights ago. This is of the second model. I wasn’t feeling a rhythm using pencil, so I grabbed my multiliners. I’ve been feeling off with drawing, but I’m still getting pencil/pen on paper daily. #figuredrawing #art #dibujos #dessines

Thank you, @smokeychestnut.bsky.social for being part of another piece using watercolor brush pen and color pencil.

Did this pose from memory based on a pose from a session with @nena.mono on IG.

No reference. Just toned the paper with graphite, added line with pencil, and used a kneaded rubber for highlights.

Sunday Challenge 🏆 22 reposts in 3 hours and I drop the sheets! Ready - Set - 🟢

@smokeychestnut.bsky.social - First attempt:

From references of @peakaboo87.bsky.social Thank you so much for your trust and patience! The references are beautiful, and I am glad you inspired this idea.

Been in a weird place mentally, so I’m just making my brain work on figures from imagination

My first attempt at the lovely and not my last @serefinaslay.bsky.social

Just a quick study. Nothing too fancy.

Tried out this series on 500 series plate 4-ply. I used graphite, but I will try ink the next time. #eroticart #figurestudy #nude #dibujos #dessines #art

Male figure study on Strathmore 500 series vellum.

Model: Anonymous Work in progress. Just catching up on some drawing projects. #drawings #nude #dibujos #dessines

@nakedmuse.bsky.social - From your beautiful references. Already posted on IG, but this is a more welcoming space. #nudeart #figure #figuredrawing #dibujos #dessines

Here is another thumbnail of a piece I will create. I’m working through some details, but I want to show the throws of passion and allowing someone you trust to take you over the edge. #art #erotic #practice #figure #dibujos #dessines

I love the way these turned out of the wonderfully talented, and dear friend, Shelby from her beautiful Patreon. The left photo is graphite on cotton paper (hot press), and she balanced a chess piece. Excellent shot. The right photo is charcoal on Canson Mi Teintes (backside). #art #nude #figure

A quick sketch for an idea I want to refine later. It’s a piece about finding a great seat, or it’s about a sleep mask. 😏 #art #erotic #graphite #practice #sketch

From the Saturday session with Dibuje Modelos via Zoom 27 Sept 2025.

A couple of drawings featuring @lolas_drawings_art and @yosoylaemuse on IG. Feel free to follow me on @artofterealius on IG as well. #figure #art #erotic #nude #dessines #dibujos #figure

Big thanks to the wonderful Lola for being the lovely muse for this drawing. I used a micron directly on the 500 series Vellum by Strathmore. #art #arte #drawings #dibujos #dessines #figure #nude #micron #strathmore

I finished working on some bookmarks the last few weeks, and now my attention is back to figure drawing. I’ve got to dial things back in. #drawing #dessines #figure #ink #art #arte #dibujos

Still here! I found this stone paper sketchbook a few months ago and used a Pierre Noire pencil on it. Just having fun experimenting. I have other quick studies with the same paper that I will post later. #art #figure #dessines #dibujos

Just some quick poses from a couple of nights ago. #art #arte #figure #dessines #dibujos

Practiced some portraits during the week. Compared to some earlier attempts, there are things that started to click with proportions.

Great session today with the wonderful @claudiam_avi (Instagram) hosted by @caffeine_heroes (Instagram) The final pose was 15 minutes, and I wanted to explore an idea with washi, PanPastel, and graphite pencil (Blackwing Matte). #figure #nude #art

October 2023 I was working with a tortillon, kneaded rubber, and Blackwing Matte pencil in a Moleskin sketchbook. I wanted to see if I could use value to create form and replicate the muscle mass. This was still fairly early in my slow return to make attempts at art consistently again.

Another color study. Slowly, patiently adding layers. #art #figurestudy #colorstudy #nude

I added more to the original sketch. I plan on going with this winged idea a bit more. The bottom-left is a pose from the lovely @helalight3.bsky.social

I forgot the actual picture

Faber-Castell Pitt Pen on the page tonight. #art #practice #ink

Work in progress.

Another piece from yesterday when I grabbed the pastel pencil. No reference or anything, but it gives me a chance to do some problem solving along the way.

Pitt Pastel pencil along with a filbert brush and blending stump. Thank you, @shelbs-draws.bsky.social

The wonderful @shelbs-draws.bsky.social was gracious enough to allow me to draw from some poses. These are my first attempts, but I at least know how I wish to approach with different media.

More from this week:

At it again

Late night mental wind-down

Just new-boot goofin’. Random sketches on the page to hopefully stir the mind into a focused piece.

Been busier the last few weeks, so I haven’t gotten much completed. Just enough to stay familiar with my pencil.

Still squeezing in some practice. The year has been a bit out of control, so hopefully I can get in the mindset of working on some pieces. Some line practice the last couple of weeks

Trying to keep the coordination as much as possible. It’s been a challenging couple of months, and I haven’t drawn consistently over the last few weeks. Just needed to see if I could capture the movement.

Much wider tooth to the paper when trying to scan or photograph, but I still like how it turned out in person.

Crouching pose
