Here is some babbling about how I do digital smut.
When I have an idea I am usually very very picky about how I want the people in the drawing to pose, which makes it hard to find reference sometimes. So when I successfully bullshit my way through a pose without using reference I am always super proud. Usually I forget to take screenshots of the process, but this time around I reminded myself.

- I usually start out with a grey background (because the white is bad for your eyes when you stare at it all day long) but since I knew I wanted this one to have a softer feel I decided to go for a peachy color. To get myself in the mood <3

-As you can see in the second pic the lighter sketch in the background is how I start out. The sketch in the background is on another layer and started out as thumbnails, which is why it is blurry because I sized it up when I was sure about the pose. I struggled with the initial idea and went through a row of thumbnails before ending up with what we have here. You can see that I have some muscle groups that I already draw here, but the body itself doesn't have a lot of shape yet.

- I adjusted the pose in the second sketch because it looked more relaxed with the arm down. It looked a bit like he was drowning in his pecs. Which is not a bad thing per se but I wanted this one to have a softer vibe. Here comes my favorite part, adding the muscles!

- The naked version! This is the third layer. After cleaning up the sketch from before I do the outlines. Usually I don't change a lot here. I usually draw the naked one first and then clothe it, even though I decided to change the cock size between naked and clothed version.

- And the clothed version. It's still missing body hair which I usually add on another layer so I can adjust the hair color. Sometimes I prefer to give him all white hair but that depends on the contrast to the skin and rest of the piece.
The top will be transparent with some flowers on it and I do plan to give it a bit of background.

I hope this was not too exhausting to read, sometimes I like to babble about my process.

Edit: I added a bit of detail about when i do the muscles.
