@RoyHayner I had students online, I was mentor until recently. Charlie Eastbourne, Sakimoto Ayame, Ned9... all were my students for 6 months. Saki passed recently with cancer, charlie retired to do ***s books, but Ned9 is still active to my knowledge
@TOFUK The backgrounds? Well there are places to go to get royalty free backgrounds, where as i dont use the exact background, I do change them, 50% of the time I draw my own. The trick though, is to work the background first, then do the scene, or it will never get done lol I'm terrible for it. Like eating, eat all the trees and save the cow for last.
@HotVR When I first started I used to "trace" but I found the bodies ended up too perfectly human and just looked like a head stuck on a real body. The trick is to trace, then redraw, making sure you change some positions, legs, add clothes, ect - all artists, especially hentai artists use reference, but for me, the pose is like number 5 on the list, the stuff, the locations, everything around it is whats important.
