October Sketches Manga Libby + 1920s style (Patreon)

These are the things that have been rattling around this month. My love affair with cartoonier art styles continues and sometimes I indulge them like this.

I always have in the back of my mind this potential for a roaring 20's art deco type project but I only know how to draw cute feminine faces in the style so I tried to expand that idea but I'm not totally convinced by it.

 I've been listening to a lot of George Gershwin music in recent months ever since seeing Rhapsody in Blue performed at the KC Symphony along with some other cool American composers. It led me to this early Gershwin musical Crazy for You.
 I really like this art, and that of course makes me want to see what it would be like if it was lewd 😛 I'm sure we can all relate to this impulse.

Mostly I like the blend of finely detailed, weighty clothing with really simplified heads. To me erotic art is all about finding the little ingredients that make a thing feel sensually relatable. The stuff you can feel when you look at it. I'm sure we collectively don't have a lot of experience wearing spats, for example, but when I look at this poster I get a sense of how those pants fit even though they're simplified and I think that's really satisfying to look at 😁

Enough rambling for now! Happy Thursday!
