Good Old-Fashioned Fun (Patreon)

I initially envisioned this piece as a period piece, complete with corsets and frilly skirts, but ended up going for simplicity. Below, the original sketch:

Rather than lead with lines, I decided to start by filling in the color with a soft airbrush. That lends the glow effect to this illustration.

Fun fact: I used to do the majority of my erotic illustrations that way (we're talking pre-Tumblr days). You get some nice energy and pseudo-realism that way -- the trade-off is that it's a lot harder to keep the body proportionate. Still, 100% would dabble in this style again!
