opens box that reads "i wanna draw again". inside lies a note. the note says, "mental illness and difficult circumstances have taken years of interest, accessibility, and skill away from me. i want to forgive myself for that. i want to heal my relationship to my hobbies. i want to feel connected to something that once made me feel good, but the cyclic discouragement is difficult to overcome." i turn over the note. on the back it reads "wannta drawe sexy bodies awooga"

AHHHHHH I love every single one of these

for the requests, would you draw an embarrassed flustered Shane? :)

thank you for the food, anon!

[ainsleysays]

Ehhn. Drew this in like... July of last year? I never finished i because I wasn't super happy with how it was coming together. I don't think I'll finish it now so might as well post it!

👀👀

I always go back to draw him during fall. I guess it’s the perfect cozy stardew season ? Even if I’m not playing the game I got it on my mind

Take him!! NOW!!

[ainsleysays]

Ehehehehe

i want to annoy him until he gets mad at me.

this is just a cover image to hide the real (completely different) suggestive drawing under a readmore⤵️

he is shirtless and wearing his silly boxers.

😘

It's called cute aggression, Shane.

The one time Shane manages to get Billie in a dress

[ainsleysays]

Working on outfit designs for Mafia Au Billie. Little more goth in mafia-land, I think. A lot more black in her wardrobe.

SHANE FUCKS

This might be my new headcanon for Leah

I never noticed that Leah doesn't have green eyes. O_O I have no idea why I thought she did (I'm going to assume fanart) but I LOVE her with violet eyes <3 Anywho, #5 Leah. She was so much fun to design :D

@tenderhaze

This is 100% Flannel and Silk, just sayin'

p0rn w/ feelings is so funny it’s like I’ve tricked you into reading this fic by offering you smut but as soon as you get there I pull out a chair, sit backwards on it, and say “hey, pal. you wanna talk about abandonment issues?” and then you have no choice but to listen

Loooookit hiiiiiiim

I feel like I've reposted and deleted these several times already lol but this time they're staying !! anyways, Shane x Liv sketches from a few years ago that I still like

[ainsleysays]

Everybody's favorite gym bro!

(Because I do actually like characters other than Billie & Shane, promise)

Been writing a lot of ya boi here in the Mafia AU so I had to draw this smarmy, protein loving, goofy guy whose hair oughta be flying back with the stuff that goes over his head.

rolls up sleeves OKAY, I know these are more than just inking pen suggestions but you never know what brush might work for you. The Real-G pen (which I think comes pre-installed), is really nice for inking while maintaining a bit of texture. Mameo Ink is good for similar reasons, clean inks with a bit of texture though Mameo Ink had a bit more of a learning curve for me: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1716297

I also like this one for inking because it has a smoothness to it that my brain digs (This is usually my default for inking): https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1708873

If you're not already using the close and fill tool, it's a must (it fills in your base inks and can be done on another layer, I love it): https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1759448

I've really been digging Texture Ink Pen Kai for sketches lately (and inking sometimes). It's 10 clippy but well worth it in my opinion: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1949936

CIRO was my go to sketch brush before that, I still like though: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1917613

Any artists put there who use Clip Studio Paint (particularly comics artists): what brush(es) or brush settings do ya'l'l use?

I'm currently using The Good Pen, with slightly different settings for sketching vs inking. I like it ok but would like to find something that makes my stuff less messy looking without me having to fiddle with vector lines forever. I tend to draw pretty heavy and use high stabilization settings.

Papa Shane is always a reblog for me!

When my kids were really small (hell, even NOW), my spouse would fall asleep with them all tucked into his arm like that and it was always so sweet.
