I have this weird new response and want to talk to someone about it.

Just for some context, I’m 18M my parents have been divorced for about 6 years this August. I spend most of my time with my mom, and some with my (remarried) dad. I feel a ton of stress and pressure when at my dad’s, mainly because I’m autistic and they are perfectionists. I used to have some pretty good coping mechanisms, but this week, something clicked. I haven’t been able to stop drawing the female body, mainly with large breasts. This came on out of nowhere. It started with drawing romantic scenes between two of my OCs, then it just slowly spiraled from there. I’ve done maybe 10-15 in the past 3 days or so.
I can only think of 2 possible reason this is happing. Either A) 6 years of pressure finally snapped; or B) I was recently shot down by my crush of 3 years, who helped me get through a lot of stress, and that somehow made be break.
I’m not asking for alternate coping mechanisms, just wanting to get this out and get the opinions of other people. By request, I can share some of the pictures, just so they can se show bad it is.

Anna Marie, Rouge!

I created this art for Rouge, to add to my custom X-men team. I had this cool idea to make Rouges suit looks vaguely like a cropped top and shorts. My story is she really misses touch and having exposed skin (especially after meeting Remy) so her suit is designed similarly to revealing clothes, and it’s still skintight, but she’s still completely colored.
Let me know your feeback!

New art piece! (Astrid)

I did a drawing of everyone’s childhood crush, Astrid from How To Train Your Dragon! Be honest, we ALL had a crush on her as children. You didn’t watch this movie without at least gaining a stronger attraction to blondes.

I love mini-cars

My favorite transformer is Bumblebee. He has been for years.
Then one day last year, on a whim, I got the Classics Gears figure.
Now, 437 days later, this is where I’ve spiraled to.
I own $290 with just these 11 toys, plus Cliffjumper and Tailgate on preorder. You can say I’m a little addicted. These are my favorite autobot group though, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get the full set.
Is this cool or not?

Who should I make? (Also please critique my sketch)

I created this body as an attempt to practice the female body, and I really want to make it a character. Should I make a new OC from her, turn it into my current OC, or turn her into an existing character? I could also leave it blank for a blueprint, but I don’t want to do that.
Also, let me know how I did with my first real attempt at female anatomy!

Love in Gotham [Fan Art]

I’m working on drawing more romance things, and one of the things I drew was Bruce and Selina. I put them in costumes inspired by the comics, but with my own parts. Please let me know how it looks, and give me suggestions for who to do next!

Can I get some help with Bikinis?

I want to try to draw my OC in something like a bikini, but I have absolutely no clue what to do. Can I get a little advice? I put a picture of her to show her body type.

Art

I made this romantic drawing of Superman and Lois, primarily inspired by the 2025 movie.

Cute romantic pose

I drew Adrian and Adaria posed in a ‘straddle hug’ as it is apparently known as. It’s a sweet little pose, just showing their love for each other.
As usual, I’ll take critique and pose ideas!

u/JedWasBord — 12 days ago

Less romantic, more cool. Will take ideas for romantic poses.

I created this drawing of Adrian and Adaria posed together prepared for a fight. It took my forever to do (mostly cause I couldn’t find good reference images and just used pictures of myself lol)
It’s a good drawing by my skill level I’d say, but I think I may stick to more romantic stuff. That seems to be my current wheelhouse.
Feel free to draw over it and critique it!

My favorite one yet

I tried a new, more romantic pose, and I like this one a lot more than any of my others. I did have to color Adarias clothes to more clearly determine who is who, and it helps it a lot.
Again, please give me any feedback you have, and comment other ideas for poses I can try between these two lovers.

u/JedWasBord — 13 days ago

This one is rough

Keeping with my Adrian and Adaria couple photos, I tried to draw them mid-argument, but I forgot how bad I am at side profiles. I probably won’t attempt one like this for a while, but I’m still posting it for feedback.
Again, don’t hold back. I want to know everything I messed up on and that I can improve on.

Need to be better with couples

So, I’ve created these two OCs, Adrian the half-elf and Aradia the mage. They’re a couple (close enough to one anyway) and I want to try some ship/couple poses with them. Does anyone have any ideas for simple, romantic poses I can put them in?
If personality info helps, Adrian is kind, smart, and gentle, while Aradias a little mean, but still likes Adrian.

u/JedWasBord — 13 days ago

I couldn’t wait

Okay, I was gonna post this in the morning, but I couldn’t wait after I saw how much I improved this character.
Aradia is Adrian’s main love interest. Her thing is magic. This improvement is one of the craziest I’ve done yet.
I’ll gladly take your feedback, if you have any to give!

Advice helps

Thanks you all for the help! Just that little bit of help boosted my ability to draw.
The first picture I did back in March, and it’s a drawing of my OC Adrian, a half-elf, half-human who’s the prince of the kingdom that adopted him. The second drawing I just did, and it’s a VAST improvement. There’s more life, more detail, it’s all better.
Please give me some advice specific to this drawing, and feel free to draw over it. I plan to do one tomorrow with the OCs love interest, so all the advice I can get helps a ton.
Thank you all for making my first day on Reddit amazing!

Hey, can I get some advice?

I’m new to Reddit, and one of the things I joined for was the art. I want to learn to draw better than I already can. I’ve attached some of my art pieces to show what level I’m at, but I could really use some extra help/advice. I’m primarily trying to get better at being a bit more realistic, drawing better faces, and learning better bodies, specifically female bodies.
If I could get some help, that would be great!
