Masctober 15 - Rugged (Self-Portrait) The reference for this drawing was a photo taken by my husband near Joshua Tree @xingphotostudio.bsky.social

Masctober 5 - (Bin)ocular This one was actually “binocular” but i changed it to “ocular” because I wanted to draw this photo I took of my husband @xingphotostudio.bsky.social doing his amazing photography thing.

Sextember 5 - Night My original idea was based on the night goddess soaring across the sky and draping her cloak over the earth to bring on night. It went in a different direction, but I think it has a similar feeling. Used a few different ref photos. Digital: iPad/Apple Pencil in Contour

This was my Sextember drawing for 9/4, the prompt was “Deer” Combined two reference photos. Digital: iPad/Apple Pencil in Contour

Masctober 3 - Boots (doing a mashup list) drawn from a reference photo. Digital: iPad/Apple Pencil in Procreate

I’m currently doing Masctober 2025, but I also did my own ‘Sextember’ challenge, where I drew a sexual twist on 2024’s ‘Sketchtember’ prompts each day last month. This was mostly about composition and experimentation, and I will be sharing my favorite drawings on their corresponding days this month.

Masctober Day 2: Discover This drawing is of Koichi and Mitsuru, from the Japanese BL series, Eternal Yesterday. Without context, how this image represents “discover” might be hard to see. I highly recommend you watch it to find out for yourself. But be warned, it is heart-wrenching…

It’s that time again—Masctober. Day 1: Mustache Digital using photo reference

Hey guys, sorry I haven’t posted for a few days. I got sick just before we went to Chengdu, so I haven’t had the energy to keep up. But tomorrow is our return flight to California so there will be fresh new nudes (“newdes” if you will) soon 😘

A couple of self portraits I took with my iPhone at my secret happy place.
