December 17: dolnmoon: What is your favorite trope to draw?

I'm going to ignore the fact that I'm not entirely sure what a trope is, and answer with the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the question.

Partially-clothed sex!!!

It is the best. Not only is there a sense of immediacy to it, to me, like, the participants couldn't wait to get their clothes off, there's also that delicious contrast between clothed, protected bodies and vulnerable naked naked vulnerable parts. I love naked people, love looking at them and love drawing them, but if I had to quantify it I probably love drawing half-dressed people seven times as much.

Plus! From a fun-to-draw standpoint, I really enjoy figuring out how clothes would fold and bunch, whether I'm accurate at it or not. That, and dramatic fabric folds are SO MUCH FUN to draw. And and, sometimes I even get to draw plaid. Plaid and penis in one picture? One of my favorite things in the world <3
