I know the way I draw has its own strengths and weaknesses, but if I were forced to go through a traditional art education I never would have been able to draw anything at all. I'm trying to stay confident but there's so much out there that seems to be telling me I'm just a phony. It sucks.

This one's different for me 'cuz the particular angles and poses are ones I struggle to know how to render properly. Or appealingly. That's why I gave it a try anyway and, well.. I hope it's alright =X

Line art of my (human) footpaws, coming down from the top of the frame. One is posed laying casually, the other lifted up and showing the arch and underside at an extreme angle.

I wish I could remember what it feels like to receive good news.

So this would be my seventieth drawing of my own footpaws and sure, it's extremely similar to previous poses but I just can't help it. I'm always trying to find new ways to add better detail so hopefully that helps keep it from being too repetitive ._.

#male #feet #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws and a bit of my back and tail area. I'm laying forward and lifting my footpaws back up toward the viewer so they appear upside-down. I've got them pressed together, my right footpaw slightly further back and fitting into the arched area of my left. Also many other fun small details I hope you can appreciate =3

Will I ever move past my fascination with colorful spacelike backdrops and reflective orbs? Who knows! But I do like how this one came out, even if it took a zillion years to finish >_>

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws set against a colorful, abstract background. They're criss-crossed, upside-down, and showing more of the top than what I usually do. Wanted to try and focus on more extreme angles and different sorts of details...

There just isn't enough space (or time, if I'm being honest) to explain everything I want to comment on with stuff like this. My eternal struggle. Oh well. All I can do is hope some of it comes through anyway, even if it's not exactly obvious.

#male #feet #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws, set against an abstract background. I wish I had the perspicacity to describe not just what's in the image but why I put it there, and the brevity to do so within the limitations here. But I can't. I'm just trying to capture something special that I've never been able to describe with words anyway.

Still have this irrational belief that studying footpaws and trying to recreate them in lineart is good for me. Can't help it at this point anyway.

I tried to show additional dimensionality and detail with overall thicker lines. Hope it looks good =3

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws set against an abstract, colorful background. I tried to make the background look more and more out-of-focus so it's easier to observe the detail my footpaws. They're upturned, showing the entire undersides, and pressed together at the sides with some of one footpaw resting inside the arch of the other.

Sort of a companion piece to the last one I finished, with a more painterly background this time. This was finished across a number of days and I may have lost some of my focus but as always, I hope it can be enjoyed anyway :)

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws against an abstract, colorful background. They're posed upside-down, one footpaw revealing the sole and a little bit between the toes while the other is curling up such that only the top and front are visible, toes overlapping slightly from the muscles curling them together.

Another one where I tried a lot of new techniques I'm trying to teach myself to illustrate additional details I find interesting and meaningful. Wish I had the space to actually describe what those meanings are to me. Oh well. Enjoy the weird background?

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art focusing on my (human) footpaws set against a colorful, abstract background. You can see most of my back and lower body, most of which is obscured by my crisscrossed and upturned footpaws. The one closest to the viewer is stretching out the sole and digits as much as my shyness will allow, showcasing a lot of additional detail.

This one is technically a redo of one I did early this year which I liked the reference for, but the art itself is too primitive to share. Most of the time I don't want to redo something I've already done, but there are occasionally good reasons...

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX #footsky
Line art of my (human) footpaw set against a colorful, abstract background. The view is very close to the underside of my footpaw, so much so that it's excluding the entire rest of my body. The pose is fairly neutral, with my toes neatly tucked together, and the angle lets us appreciate the thickness of the padding towards the outside as well as the depth of the arch on the inside.

Been a while since I've been really free to do anything like this, but apparently the desire has been burning very intensely in the meantime. The challenging angles in this pose ended up receiving perhaps my most detailed effort. Hope you enjoy.

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX #footsky
Line art of my (human) footpaws and my lower body set against a colorful, abstract background. I'm lying on my front, knees resting on the ground and I've crossed my lower legs and footpaws in an "X" shape. My right footpaw is showing mostly the top and outer side, while the left is shyly curled in just a little bit, showing off the sole and heel at a fairly sharp angle. You can also see my ass. Hope that's not a negative, ha >_>

Not sure how many more of these I'm gonna end up being able to finish. Everything's kinda falling apart. I don't recommend poverty.

Managed to finish detailing this one all the way through. Went a bit bonkers with the background but, as with the lineart, it's meant to represent my feelings and why I do this at all. Not that I'm always so sure about that, heh. Lotta weird feelings :x

#male #feet #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws set against an abstract, colorful background. I'm bottomless with a bit 'o my tushie showing, laying on my tummy and lifting my footpaws up toward the viewer. They're pressed together, one slightly lower than the other, and showing off my soles and some slightly-scrunched toes.

Thought this one could be my absolute favorite at one point, but... times are tough and I lost my passion for it one way or another and I didn't even technically finish it. But I guess I'll post it anyway...

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws set against an abstract background. They're crossed and upside-down behind me, and normally I'd say more but it's unfinished and I'm unhappy with how it turned out. Sorry.

I dunno why my backgrounds keep ending up looking like my footpaws are emerging from a wormhole or something. I'm just trying to find an interesting backdrop I can actually create what with the whole "complete lack of skill" thing. Anyway, uh.. enjoy? :x

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws on an abstract, colorful background. Most of the lower-half of my body is visible, with my footpaws arranged horizontally in a casual pose showing the undersides. One of my footpaws is further back, touching the big toe with the heel of the other footpaw.

As soon as I saw this reference image of my footpaws, they demanded I drop everything and draw them immediately. Uh, and also some of my rump I suppose >_> la la la

Anyway, I love how it turned out and I hope I'm not the only one.

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws against an abstract, swirling background. The view is from behind me where I'm kneeling and presenting my footpaws to you. One is outstretched toward you, nearly touching you. My other footpaw is cuddled up behind it, spreading my toes gently across the heel.

This is based off a digital painting (based on myself) given to me as a gift many years ago. I've wondered over time how my footpaws would look with strong lines, emphasis on my favorite details, and a few anatomical tweaks, so I redrew them.

#footpaws #panda #art #furryart #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my four-toed panda footpaws (and calves) set against an abstract, colorful, whirling background. My footpaws are sitting on their heels, tilted toward eachother, with my right footpaw resting atop the left. I'm pulling them back to show the large padded undersides along with the arches and other details.

It would be nice if there were some way to share writing (as in, stuff longer than 300 characters) with the same sort of framing and interactivity as posting a photo or drawing. It's basically impossible for me to get out all my related thoughts about something in 300 characters >_<

Feeling rather distracted lately by the fact that in all likelihood, I'm about to hear that both my food benefits and medical insurance are going to be taken from me and I have literally nothing else to fall back on. Without that assistance, I will not survive. Thanks a lot, fascist fucks.

Last one out of this set of similar poses. I like it when you can see more of my body, but sometimes the purity of rendering just footpaws is very satisfying. Continuing to try adding new details and rendering existing things better. Hope it's alright.

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws on an abstract, wavy blue background. This is based on the last of a set of references I got where most of my body is obscured and all we can really see are the undersides of both my footpaws, crossed and from slightly odd angles.

Wish I had Death Stranding 2 waiting for me after finishing one of these. Or a car. Or any number of other basic necessities. But right now, all I've got is a ten year-old phone and my footpaws, so.. I make do with what I have.

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws on an abstract, swirly blue-tinted background. This is an alternate take of a similar piece I did recently, where the soles of my footpaws are in-view and obscuring the rest of my body so they're really the only things visible.

My background experimentation continues. I really enjoy a particular blend of blues and greens and I'm trying to find a good way to render them along with my footpaws. I'm always worried it's turned out too bright and loud, though.. hope not :<

#feet #male #art #digitalart #ibisPaintX
Line art of my (human) footpaws on an abstract, water-like background. I've got half of one sole visible, with the other footpaw pressing up against it and obscuring the rest. So overall we can see the entire top of my right footpaw, and it's covering most of the arch and heel of my left footpaw.

My dream is that I'll be able to sustain myself doing something that won't wreck my body or my mind. Like, say, with my art. I have absolutely no idea if that's viable, realistic, or even possible anymore. Problem is, I don't really have choices. If I can't find something like that, I'm screwed.
